BUT.. that F-250 is just too sexy! Can you give some details about it? Lift, etc. I still can't believe you picked that baby up for 13K. You couldn't buy that truck in Michigan for that price if it had 250K on it. Let me just say I am beyond jealous. Always wanted a lifted 'Stroke! And I'm glad you haven't experienced any of the common 6.0 problems!

PS - Thanks for keeping me and my family safe every day. Hats off brother

Thank you for your kind words Chris. And thank you for your support. Lol thanks I have so much planned still for the F-250. It had the lift already when I bought it. It's an 8in lift, It had rough country shocks on it, 16x10in wheels on 36in super swamper tires. I changed out the shocks and put on the Bilstein reservoir shocks, I got 20x10in KMC XD diesel wheels on 37x13.50 Toyo open country M/T tires. It's got a Airaid cold air intake, and a 4in turbo back MBRP exhaust with an 8in tip center dumped under the truck. I actually just did a few upgrades yesterday. I added some 2013 OEM tail lights and a new 2013 style chrome rear bumper. I'm working on a deal to get a newer style tailgate. And hopefully in the next few months I want the 05-07 front end. And later I wanna bulletproof the infamous 6.0 engine and coil over suspension.

UPDATE!! 1/24/13
Here are some before and after pics on my most recent mod, the widetop expedition center console. I’ve actually had this done at the beginning of January I just haven’t had time to post up pics. I had the seat cut and re upholstered at an upholstery shop here in town. It cost me $100 for the all the work. The seat looks like a factory bucket. He’s going to re upholster the lid for $35. I may do it next month. This is one of my favorite mods that I’ve done!!!












Took the CD Player out and got a big rubber mat.

Nice and good job filling in the holes on the console. I did something similar when I put a Navigator overhead console in my 99 F150. I removed the panel for rear a/c controls, took apart the panel and recovered the face with a piece of satin black vinyl.

console to seat

that looked easy enough. do you think it would be hard to go the other way? if i have a center console and want to put a bench/middle seat in.

If you get a bench seat with the mounts then yes. The consoles back brackets is where the seat bolted too. I had to tap the holes for the front brackets.

Looks good! And the F250 is freakin badA. That thing is more my style, but both are very nice.

Thank you for your service too
