Just got one on my way out to lunch... An older fella, probably in his 70's or 80's stopped me and asked about my bullbar and PIAA lights. Said he really liked them alot and was thinking about getting that for his older F-150.

Usually I just see people eyeballing the truck as I drive, every now and then someone will actually say something.

The two guys in town who bought the same exact truck and color, same exact lift w/coilovers, and 37" grapplers on 20's, never even look my way. They coulda changed something since we're in the same town. They both have 3" body lifts so I think the body shop told them 37's wouldn't work. I live in a small town and nobody lifts their F150, these are 2 out of maybe 4 I've seen in town.

Then again, there is the guy I never see with 39.5" Iroks on the 8" Rize + 2.5 Spacer, he lives here and is on this forum.

I know how you feel. A guy uin my neighborhood stopped by my house about 3 times before asking about my truck, and he ends up doing the exact same thing. Now he doesn't even wave or anything.


I actually had mine parked at a hospital and some guys drove by, pulled a U turn and got out just so they could look at my rims and tires. I don't ever notice anyone looking on the road, probably becuase I'm always focused on the road due to horrible drivers.

Yup, All the time. There aren't too many Med Wedgewood Blue F-150 CC Lariats in my area. I have had old ladies tell me that my truck is gorgeous, old timers at the gas station offer to buy it from me, people at stop lights try to race it, and people at CG's asking questions constantly, especially when I pull in and I am almost 60' long tip to tail! I love that other people enjoy my truck as much as I do. Heck, I even got compliments on it when it was dirty (not gotten washed for the week yet)

When I had my level kit installed at the Ford Dealer, I went ahead and had them mount my wheels and tires while they were at it. About a month later I see one of the employees trucks, identical to mine except chevy (gray, ext cab, short bed, etc...) with the same wheels and tires!! I've never met the guy, but I am taking it as a compliment.

Other than that I get alot of stares. Especially when I drove my truck home the first time with the level, wheels, and tires. Everyone in my town knew what I done to my truck. Word gets around in a town of 3,500. I am the only modded F150 in my town, other than the guy with a SI/DO exhuast.

I get a lot of looks but I am not home enough to get comments on it. Probably because it is late at night when I park it places but I do see people looking at it when I am pulled up next to them at the light hehehe

I get compliments just about everyday, usually they're from guys thanking me for bringing their truck back to them. The best was when my wife and I went to a used car lot and I parked my truck to look at other vehicles and while I was parked the salesman was asked by 3 different customers how much the black truck cost.

Yep, I get quite a few comments and stares whenever I am driving the truck. Even my kid picks up on the stares and double looks. I actually get more comments with my latest round of mods (topper and exhaust).
