Thanks. And my apologies for the delays in PICs. Its been snowing here the past several days and forecast for the next several. As a result, my truck is pretty un-PICworthy right now. ;-) I seriously considered washing it on Sunday, but it was 16 degrees and decided it would be a bad idea.

BTW, have found the new Pirelli tires and AdvanceTrac to be EXCELLENT in the snow.

Trust me, as soon as I get a clean truck in daylight I'll take some PICs and post them. I'm definitely proud of my new baby.

That's the very first time I've ever heard 'Pirelli' and 'good' in the same sentence. Will be interesting to hear how others like those tires who get them.

Yeah i heard some people on here say the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's are nasty tires and i tried them for my self and was very impressed. I ain't been able to brake the rear end lose at all in the wet with normal driving, No under or over steer, road noise is very minimal, Ride is smooth and in the dry they perform well. I read some proper reviews about the tires and they get great reviews for the dry and wet but only ok for snow. Ain't had a proper chance to try them in packed snow or ice yet but so far they are great.

PICS! But ...

I finally have Pics to post but can't figure out how to post them. The FAQ says I should have an 'attachments' button but I don't. Help!

Press that button then post your link in the box. You will have to upload your pics to photobucket or similer

Thumbs up

Jvos,

That's a sweet ride. My '97 and '98 F-150's were that color, always loved it. I keep going back and forth between that color and silver if I buy an '09; since going beige in 2004 it's been so easy to keep my truck looking like new. Your truck is almost exactly what I'd order, with the exception of those huge tow mirror's and trying to decide on color.

Very nice.

ps Did your dealer install your remote start? And is that a roll-up or flat-fold tonneau?
