Question How Blue are you?

I just got finished (almost) with my first attempt at creating a website (see updated signature below). It is dedicated to Ford fanatics. I know everyone here, including myself, is a little nuts about the latest generation F-150, but I was wondering just how dedicated everyone is to Ford products in general. I have not and would not own anything else. How about you? [img]//www.gifs.net/animate/smiley.gif[/img]

2000 XLT Black Sport, Flareside, 2WD, Ext. Cab, 5.4L Auto. Other factory options: 3.55 LS, Class III tow, 6-way Captains chairs w/CD changer, Remote entry , and Slider window.
Mods: Undercoat, window tint, headlight & tail light covers, removed "Sport" decals, upgraded Triton tailgate emblem, Linex spray-in bedliner, and an ARE LSII lid.
Wish list: Flowmaster duals, K&N FIPK, and a Belltech 3/4 drop.

Thanks for the compliment! Build flat head Fords, huh? My father and you should hook up. He has a lot of the same experience and memories, I'm sure. I've heard many stories about the 41 Ford Coupe and the custom 50 Merc he used to have.

My F150 is my first Ford.
I've had GM, Nissan and Honda.
I've had bad luck with GM, Good luck with Honda and Nissan.
Already have ahd to have $400.00 (warranty) of tranny work done to my F150 at 3,500 miles.
Love the way my truck drives and looks.
BTW great site.
Did you already get those duals? (sound on site?)

54regcab:
Haven't got the duals yet. I will probably wait till Spring now. The sound on page two of my site is indeed a Flowmaster, but I found it on some other site a while ago that posted it for a high performance 4.0L Ford V6! If Flowmaster can make a V6 sound that good, I've got to have one of their kits for my 5.4L V8.

Thumbs up

Are you SURE that was a V6?
What series flowmaster was it if you know?
Those duals on a 5.4L have to be SWEET.

Well, you know the saying..."be careful what you believe from the internet.........". As far as I know, it was a heavily modified 4.0L V6 with a 40 series muffler. Either way, I love the low bass tone that Flowmaster delivers...... Quit talking about this, or you're going to make me blow my Christmas money on some new pipes for myself. And won't the orphans be disappointed..........

I'd much rather be under my truck installing the Flowmasters.
I wonder how much of it is from the duals and how much is from the Flowmaster.

Nice page! Wish mine would work. Did you put the triton emblem on the tailgate? Why did you remove the sport decals? They look cool, IMho.

Cool

fast46triton:
Thanks for the good words. Much appreciated, as always. I did put the Triton emblem on the tailgate myself. I only had the truck for a day before I did the swap,so the paint was pretty fresh. I used an old butter knife with the tip bent over, to catch a raised edge of the emblem (didn't even touch the paint) and pulled gently as I blasted it with a hair dryer. It slowly came completely off, glue and all. The hairdryer made quick work of the SPORT decals, too. They were kind of red-orange and kind of big. For me simpler is better, so they got the axe. That's what's so great about these trucks. We all have different ideas about what looks good, and in the end, they all do.

Well my new truck I just bought about 2 weeks ago is my 6th Ford. I had a total of 7 cars or trucks in my lifetime so far. I had 4 Mustangs and a little EXP before this truck and my first car was a 69 Lincoln.
