Wow, I an flattered!! It was brought to my attention that my build thread has over 200k views. Never did I expect that! Thanks for all the positive comments and encouragement. Maybe this explains why I get pm's every day asking my opinion or help on a matter, lol. I am simply floored and humbled by this great community!

I went with the Husky X-Act Contours in mine because they're more flexible than the Weatherbeaters, and people said they're more comfortable for road trips. I absolutely love them. No signs of wear and I've had them in for 20-30,000 miles.

Lol. Who says the 'YOTE is a dog? Mine feels like a rocket, at least compared to my old 5.4. A lot of the side by side comparisons I've seen on a closed track they're pretty close to the same in the 1/4 mile(5.0 and Eco) lol. I did get the opportunity to drive a 3.5 eco with a 10-speed in a SCLB (super cab long bed) XLT. Now THAT was quick. The torque that thing puts down in 1st gear of that 10-speed is incredible.

It was a joke, we were comparing the performance of my newly acquired Ford Flex to my truck.....

Heck, I’m picking up my ‘18 XLT Screw in a few weeks from the dealer (build week is the 1st week of September and I live near the Dearborn truck plant).

I’ll try out your lights for ya.

Nice... do you have a 40/console/40 or 40/20/40 front seat?

Have you looked into any console vaults?

when I pick up my ‘18 XLT 4x4 2.7 Screw in a few weeks, a vault will be my first or second upgrade.

Nope, I have the standard center console with captains chairs. The box you see is a locking dial safe, plus the console lid locks with the key. I never leave the gun in there, its only for when I am driving long distances, otherwise its on me. Gotta love constitutional carry here in Kansas!

This vendor has vanished from this website. He was full of lies and deception. Please don't do business with them.
