Nice truck bud. Don't worry about if your parents helped u or not. I'm 23 own my own business and bought my truck. But my parents helped me get my business started. Good luck and enjoy the ride

Here's a pic of mine, sounds almost identical to yours except mine has 18's. I'm 24 and purchased mine myself, but had my parents offered to buy it for me I wouldn't have argued!

Every time I see a picture like this though it makes me re-think that

OP-I am happy for you and your new truck. My initial reaction was that you were trying to play it off that you had bought the truck yourself, and I take issue with kids who think what their parents bought them is something they "accomplished". But I can tell from your second post it was a simple case of miswording what you meant. So I owe you an apology for my original post.

Did you get the 5.5 or 6.5 bed?

I am thinking of getting the ambient lighting kit here soon, so if I get mine before you get yours I'll be sure to send you some pics.

Finally, on your second post-

23 years old with a 2011 FX4 screw Gray 5.5ft 5.0L.

No worries man. I know exactly what you mean when kids come off with handouts and feel accomplished. When I was 15, parents of a buddy of mine bought him brand new blacked out Lariat 4x4 Screw. All he said about it was it burned alot of gas and the factory sub sucked. I couldn't believe his parents bought him a truck like that. It was so sick! Sure enough not being the car guy he is, he traded it for a loaded honda accord a few years back. I understand the value of a dollar and how lucky I am to have parents work hard and provide me with something like this while they put me up in school.
So with that being said its a 5.5 bed, I was never a fan of the 6.5 on a screw. A scab yes but I always figured if your gonna have 6.5 on a screw it might as well be a super duty.
Post up some pics when you get that ambient kit!

Thanks alot everyone for all the kind comments! my pickup date has been getting pushed back all weekend now because of hail storms in the south. The truck is coming off a lot in Texas and they don't like to risk hail damage while transporting these dealer trades around. The new pickup date is tomorrow at 5pm. How am I going to sleep tonight???

Sure enough I dont even have this thing and im already looking at a mod.
Whats everyones input on the A/S 2" level???
Its cheap on ebay, the install is a metric breeze, and judging from the pics i have seen it makes the truck look awesome!

Right on! I have a buddy named Ramon who lives in Cheney. He has a DHG 01 Bullitt, like the one I just sold. We had a few Bullitts at a car show on the main st there a few years back, nice little town.
