Dumped the Lightning, Got an '06 Lariat!

And I couldn't be happier. Long story short. 04 SB Lightning, fast, but nothing more. It was my second Lightning, after the 2002. Build quality on the 04 sucked. It wasn't worth keeping. My interests have changed significantly and having 4WD is now a requirement.

Got a great deal on my Lightning, and picked up my 2006 Lariat 4x4 Crewcab for X-plan. I have quite a few parts already on the UPS trucks, and will post the progress real time.

Anyway... (time for pics)

Thanks for the replies fellas.

So far, I have ordered a 2.5" leveling kit, Westin Bull Bar, and a set of PIAA Aux lights. I have a K&N flat filter for now, and have replaced the door speakers.

I have an appointment with the window tinting shop tomorrow, because while I always try to do my own work, I have never done tint successfully.

Gonna get the truck cleaned up this weekend, so I will show again.

I just ordered the same color combination in an XLT Supercab. I am looking for a set of Az Biege wheel lip mouldings to match if anyone knows where I can get some. The mouldings really set it off on the Lariat. I am mixed on the colored bumpers though, I have heard they scratch pretty easily so maybe my XLT chrome is better?
I can't wait till it gets here! The dealer was supposed to call me yesterday with the build and ship dates but I haven't got that call yet. Darn and I sold my 98 Scab 4x4 the second day it was in the Truck Trader and got waht I wanted and then some so now I have to rent a car until the new one arrives.

You'll like the Westin/PIAA combo on the wedgewood blue. A leveling kit is next on my list too. Congrats!
