Thanks guys. The day views are washed out, but there's an 11,000 ft. mountain in the background. Here's the view from the mountain looking back at the house (you have to squint to see it...lol).

Appreciate it
Yeah, I was quoted over $300 for a set from the usual shops, so thought it was worth a shot for the price I got them for on ebay. The flares are great quality, although the trim rubber was a bit cheap so I put some better quality trim strips on. They can be mounted with just the glue strip and push on clips but mine are drilled and screwed into the fenders so they are really flush and tight. I would buy them again and definitetly worth the money.

The light bar is from Randy Ellis Design. This is my third light bar from them (2004 Dodge 2500 Cummins, 2008 Ford F250 FX4, 2008 Ford F150 XLT), and all of them had great fit and finish and were very easy to put on. Here's the link: www.randyellisdesign.com

That property is beautiful.

Love that style house too. If you don't mind me asking, what's a property like that running these days?

Thanks. Just bought the house about 6 months ago. It was appraised at $680K but I got a great deal on it due to the real estate bust. It is actually a two level with just over 5000 sf and 1/3 acre; the bottom level walks out to the rear yard which sits on a bluff. I still have my old house along the Rio Grande and it appraised just under $1 million with 4200 sf and over an acre of property in the cottonwoods, but nobody is buying in that price range right now so I am just holding it. <ugh>

hehe...well, just an engineer but dabble in custom home building, so carrying some other properties and spec homes too. I just feel lucky I am not in Las Vegas or California where some friends there really took a beating in real estate.

If things get worse, I'll have to sell my F150 too. Wonder how those PIAAs would look on a Yugo? :o

hey Atom....sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll be better off (happier) in the long run! I am a degreed Civil Engineer, and used to design water/wasterwater facilities and industrial facilities, but now I am a part owner of a national engineering consulting firm and in management. So basically, that means I deal with running the business and couldn't engineer myself out of a hole anymore.
