well I actually found a good deal and jumped on the mirrors on ebay. they are for the f150 xlt.

i think i got both mirrors new shipped to me for 120$

The BFG is a great tire. They do rub just a little but and its ONLY when i backup and turn the wheel all the way to the left or right, other then that they ride amazing.

Let me know if you have any other questions brotha.

Actually... the 4.2l doesn't sound *that bad* with an exhaust... sure it ain't gonna sound like the 4.6l or the 5.4l v8... but you might like it.

Personally... it's funny... but I actually like how the 4.6l sounds vs the 5.4l v8. I dunno why... the 4.6l just sounds better.

I dunno... listening to my truck while cruising at 65 mph on the highway, the engine is still chugging like a small v8.

This v6 is somewhat special though in my opinion, especially being it a pushrod.
