Thanks again guys. Can't wait to start my mods.

Yeah, basically. But I don't lose money. I got what I had into both my 2008 F150 and F250 when I sold them, and I recouped all my money on the 09 Dodge (including mods) and made a little on top of that. Thr trick is very aggressive negotiation when I buy, and having some friends in the accessory business where I can get some great deals. But I am thinking of keeping this next one for at least a year now but my wife doesn't believe me.

i have never heard of anyone buying new vehicles, driving them less than a year and selling and covering cost.

can you lay out one of your deals?
list price?
what you paid including tax and title,
how many miles you put on it
how much you spent on mods and what you sold it for?
how much ebay got?

Its hard to believe, but hes got to be telling the truth. He must have a technique or makes lots of money. I liked the last F150 you had the most man.

2008 f150

Hey, those are some great looking trucks you've got there man. Can I ask what offset you have on the rims for the Gold 08 F150 and what type of fender flares you put on it?

Thanks!

Thanks. My rims on the 08 F150 were 18x9 with -11mm offset. The flares I bought off an eBay vendor after doing a search for F150 flares.
