Thanks everyone!

Westpoint, I had a Leer 100XQ on my Dodge Cummins...loved it too. I went with the SnugTop this time since they have a really sporty looking topper in the XTR that I thought looked great on the new F150s, so very anxious to see how it works with my truck. The new styled toppers that integrate with the truck lines look great IMO. I had an ARE topper on my King Ranch and it looked great as well.

 

Hey there Double "D"... I hope you don't mind the liberty with your screen name. My apologies if you do.

I have the ECO as well, and love your light bar. I installed a billet grill in the opening for the intercooler. I just could not stand it being open like that. Will the light bar fit with a grill in place? I can not tell where the light bar mounts by your pics

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!! Koodo's

 

By the way where did you get the stubby antenna?

 

Hey there tlfrancis...no worries; been called a lot worse!

Thanks for the compliment. The lightbar mounts through the the exposed brackets on either side of the lower grille opening. I don't have a really good pic to show you, but I included a pic of my '09 FX4 with the same lightbar. The front license plate holder is in the way, but if you look closely you can see that the lightbar brackets extend into the lower grille opening and have a mounting flange that is 90 degrees to the brackets; two mounting bolts are installed through the mounting flange that sits flush on the exposed brackets that have large predrilled holes for the bolts to pass through.



Anyway, I believe the lower billet grille attaches to the side of the lower grille opening (?). You would have to cut your new billet grille just enough for the light bar brackets to pass through but then not sure if you have anything left to mount your billet grille too.

I ordered my Stubbie antenna from Craven Speed.

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks Double "D" that last shot shows me I can mount it with a slight mod to the ends of the billet. The billet is attached to the upper and lower area of the opening.

 

Great...looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

 

Looks great! Like all your other trucks! My buddy's Dad just got the same truck but in Silver. Sending him a link to this thread....make him get some ideas

 

Truck looks great! White and chrome makes it looks very clean!

 

I loved your 09 FX4! Why did you sell it??? The XLT looks great too, dont get me wrong...I just really liked the way your 09 looked.

 

Thanks guys!

Thanks, but I sold my 2009 for a couple of reasons.

First, I really, really thought I was going to buy the Raptor so wanted to sell my FX4 (which sold faster than I anticipated and gave me more time to think about things....lol). But after looking into the Raptor's real world mileage (since I would be commuting in stop/go traffic everyday), I decided that was not what I needed (really wanted maybe but not needed). And even though I can afford it, I wasn't about to have a +$50K truck just sit in my garage for the occassional weekend romp.

Secondly, I was getting a little tired of the lifted truck with poor mileage and sluggish performance (relatively speaking to the new engines). So I decided I wanted something more usable/economical for commmuting and everyday family/business use, as well as more fun to drive. So after I drove the EcoBoost, I decided to go that route and really glad I did. The 2011 is so much nicer to drive and the Eco really makes it fun too.

 

well if the raptor comes out with the eco boost you'll have to get that next!

truck looks awesome btw!

 

Thanks tdizzle.....and oh yeah, if they come up with a high performance EcoBoost for the Raptor you know I'll be over it!

 

i absolutely love the stance of your truck. Makes me wish I was able to afford a supercrew, hell even the rim/tire combo for that matter. LOL

 

Thanks 97f150f/s!
