Just got back from picking up my 4th f150 that I have owned.
She is a 07 F150 FX4 flare side with the 5.4l 3v with 83,000 miles on da clock.
She's pretty clean a little scratch on the side and a scuff on the rear bumper but not bad for a 07. The interior is flawless and everything works, except the led around the miles, temp., direction read out. Don't know if the leds on the board are bad or maybe they had it shut off IDK. I want it fixed because I can't read how dang cold it is outside.

So far I really like it. But only time will tell.

Here are some crap pictures from today. Its dirty from the ride home (5 hours)

Thank you, buddy

Thank you for the link I'll be checking it out since I am on the snow belt.
Thanks for all the kind words. I'll make sure I get ahold of ya when I get confused haha.
That saleen grill is also a must I will be getting it as I save up.

As for maintenance a lot has already been done before I got it. The previous owner did the Plugs, got some of the front suspension done under warranty, oil was changed, and a few other things. I for sure have to get tires these are down to about 50%. Just gotta decide which tires I want.

 

I have a friend who lives in Menominee. About a year ago, he sold my old red 2000 F150scab4x4XLT and bought a Honda Ridgeline that would fit in his garage. He says he occasionally sees the old red truck running around town. I worked at the now closed down Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant just north of Two Rivers, WI for two years back in 04 and 05 when I met him.

 

I'm new to the area (within the last year) so I don't know to many people or places. I work at Zeratsky extreme if you have ever heard of them?

Why did he buy a Honda Ridgeline. That isn't a truck

 

clean day pictures

Still debating on either leaving the fx4 decals off or getting 09+ decals. What do you think?

 

Get the 09+ decals, just like mine Great $25 to spend. I'd try to get some that are maybe more gray like your bottom color versus all black

 

Did they make 09+ fx4 decals with different shades or styles.

 

Yepper!

Example: here's KPooh's:

An' here's my fav'rite'un:

They (Ford, apparently) gave some companies the blueprints for the decals, so now you can get a whole bunch of different designs

 

Shweet. Thank you both. I'll have to start looking.
I like the camo one but nothing else on the truck will be camo so it wouldn't look right. Plus I save my camo for hunting not styling

 

That is what I told him when he first mentioned the Ridgeline. Seems to me it's an SUV minus the 3rd seat. But he has a soft spot for Hondas and he insisted it fit in his garage which the 00 F150Scab would not. He did test drive the Chevy Colorado, Tacoma, and small Nissan. But he said the Honda had so much more room inside.

His fairly new Honda turbocharged personal watercraft has an engine problem, zero compression in one cylinder, so he may be losing his affinity to Hondas.
