Alright guys some parts have already started rolling in so I'm going to give you a sneak peak of the first box that came today...... lets see how good Y'all really are
Tommy, that looks like a 9400, I really liked those.
Been so long ago I couldn't remember if they were 9400 or 9200s. I know they were all Eagles with Pro sleepers, and according to the decal on this model it's a 9200
Damn...did you pay off my mailman to get a heads up on my packages?
10" LED Grille lights
They are only mocked up here, one day when it isn't so cold or wet I'll mount them up. The website says that they are only for XLT's, but then again it won't be the first time I've used something from the wrong trim level on a F150
Ya, the 9200 and 9400 looked a lot alike. The one I was in had a Cummins and straight 10. Much more power and less shifting than the 60 series Century I was usually in, and handled just as good.
I want to say mine had a Cummins with a 13 speed....but it may have been a 10. I remember when the tester took us all out during orientation to make sure we really could drive he remarked that he was impressed that I was the only one to float gears...I guess the rest of the guys were to nervous/scared to float 'em in front of the tester.
I didn't tell him, but that is how I learned to drive semis...I couldn't shift with a clutch if the job depended on it, especially downshifts! Hell, 25+ years later and I still can't use a clutch to downshift!
Damn...did you pay off my mailman to get a heads up on my packages?
Lol, well I figured it wasn't going to be a lift kit. That's already done. That leaves lights and/or a winch.
Yeesh, I wish I could float gears. Just thinking about it and risking hearing the gears grind makes me shudder. It takes a really keen ear and a good sense of timing to do it well. When my wife and I first started dating I was working for a snow removal company that was contracted by the city to plow roads in subdivisions. She rode with me once and she was totally baffled to see how much work it was between driving the truck (explaining the range and the splitter was interesting) as well as running the controls for the plow and the spreader. I've been debating on leaving my project manager job and going back into the field. I've had to fill in a few times when we're short staffed running an excavator or a wheel loader and I enjoy every second of it.
