Yea those are sick!! That's cool. Haha I was looking at bushwaker cut outs but I don't like how the front looks A brush gaurd would hide it. HTey stick out a bit so they don't line up with the front bumper like the strock ones do. But they do look sick on these trucks.

well cus they have the 2 off road styles n our bumpers are funky lookin anyway so it would tie in, i like the ones that look stock only a lil fatter, not the pocket style.

 

Yea the extenda flare. Those aren't too bad either. I just think that the cut outs would look awesome on mine once i get my lift and bigger tires.

 

it would definately look bad ***. so the dealer didnt get back to me, but got some great prices on moog ball joints so we might be goin that route. if i can find a cheap enough TC.

 

Thats good about the moogs. I have all moog in my front end. Did that right after I bought it. Wish I could help you out with the TC but I have never messed with automatics so I can't tell you where to even begin looking for deals on that.

 

no worries. tax season anyway so if the dealership with the 01 doesnt get back to me i will be rollin a fixed bad *** 97 haha.

 

Haha yea. They are good trucks. I love my 97. Don't really plan on selling it now. Just gonna dump money into it and make it a sick toy!!

 

thats my whole plan, only reason i look at other F150's is cus i always want that 5spd 4x4 with a 5.4L but id settle for the 4.6L. but my 4.6 auto works great too.

 

Well they never made a 5 spd with 5.4. If you want to do it yourself the easiest is gonna be the ZF5 thats almost a direct swap. There is a guy who did an auto to 5 speed swap in an expedition on here.

yea dont have the cash for that kinda stuff right now, maybe after i buy a mustang n have a 2nd vehicle lol. for now just gonna stick with the cards i got. n if i get the 01 then i will think about it a lil more.

 

Yea I know how that goes man. Always have time to do it later. I've been waiting for a couple years to do the ZF6 and finally got a great deal on one.

 

to bad u werent closer id throw my wrenches in to help ya get it done. but my girl is gonna be the truck to cart around my quads n jeeps to moab n be my daily driver, only with hella style n function.

 

Yea it's always nice having someone else to help work on vehicles. Yea thats gonna be nice. I would love to take to a trip to moab!! I'll still probably daily driver it. I like driving it too much. Haha

 

well the dealership just emailed me some more pics so we will see... i can go either way with this. id rather have the 01. but if negotiations dont go well, i will keep my 97. and there isnt a thing modified on this truck, completely stock. not even any running boards and still has the plastic drop in liner.

 

XLTCOWBOY if i was you on your rims i would go 35x12.5 on 20's cuz I have 35x12.5 on a 17x9 5x135 the only rim that i have seen on the 17x10 5x135 is the ion 165 you have more to pick out of the 20 group but i was not smart i got the wheels and then looked for the rims. but when i got to looking i wish i went 20s with the kmd rockstars
