Here's The New Tails....

 

So in the last few weeks, quite a lot has happened... First off, I niteshaded the 08+ SD tails... And i was on holidays from the middle to end of july and while i was driving home (1200km trip) hauling our boat, (2004 Bayliner 175) through saskatchewan my passenger side rear axle seal blew out on the highway and i didnt notice until we stopped for gas. So we pulled up to discovery ford in Humboldt Saskatchewan about 20 mins before closing. Luckily they said that they would stay until they got us back on the road again. So they found out that because we never noticed the blown seal for who knows how long it messed up the axle. So they put on a offset bearing to get us back on the road but the axle still needs to be replaced. So through lots of phone calls and such I found out it would be cheaper to get an entire parts truck and swap the entire rearend than to just get a new axle. So i think i mightve found an 02 XTR minus engine/tranny for a great deal which i could use TONS of stuff off of. I just need time and money to go pick it up in Calgary. (2hr drive) plus trailer rental. But Enough about that now onto the good stuff from yesterday. I will soon be FINALLY finished my entire sound system. I ordered the last of it yesterday a 12" Kicker CVT12 which will be here within 2 weeks. Also got a good deal on a new radar detector to replace my crappy old one. Sorry for the novel guys but alot has happened lately. (ps. I also went to go pick up my primed new front bumper to find out they sold it. I think i might hold off on that now for a lil while...)

 

Damn that sucks. good luck..

 

Yeah, But if i get this 02 xtr i can get the xtr rims plus the whole 02 interior.

 

What is a XTR?

 

Its a trim level. One up from xlt and one down from a lariat.

 

Really? What would a XTR have? For example, my XLT is v8 and power everything(except passenger seat).

 

I thought xtr was the xlt version of the f150 in canada?

 

Freaking canadians! Trying to confuse me

Im JK halverso

 

Lol. It is a canadian edition. We do have xlt's that is what mine is. But we also have xtr. Its basically xlt with an xtr package. NBS xtr's have alot more different than xlt's. our body style of xtr is just really nice rims (nicer than fx4 in my opinion) Fiberglass ptm running boards and ptm bar grille. And maybe a couple other things im not sure about...

 

Good luck with the axle Ryan

 

Thanks John.

 

Well, yesterday was a good day! I went to calgary and went to pick n pull. I got a bunch of stuff out of a 97' expedition. I got the roof console, visors, passenger bucket seat, and an expy console (not wide top ) oh well. Still, an awesome day for getting parts and now get to start a new project. Pics later today.

 

damn that sucks about the axle and bumper man.

did that expy overhead console you picked up read out the mpg's?? if so hook it up and see if it reads your mpg's. ive been wanting to try it out but dont have enought ime to go to a junkyard and pick one up.

 

No it doesnt man, its from a 97 so it doesnt have any display whatsoever... But has lots of room for future auxiliary switches.
