I'm currently looking for a lightning and was wondering what's the best model year to buy from the 1999-2004 GEN. II's? Also what are some good mods to start with on these trucks? I'll be using it as a street/strip truck. Thanks...

03/04. They have all the 01 upgrades and most importantly the 8 threaded heads so spark plugs exiting your engine won't be a problem.

VINNIE

 

Look for one that some yahoo dumped a ton of money into, regardless of year and then wants to sell

 

Like Rob WOO HOO

 

'03 and '04s are great except for the "butt in the air" stance which can be fixed pretty easily.

To me they all kick arss. thats all that really matters. life is good mp.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I am leaning towards a red '04 with 10K. I've been wanting an L for a long time. Is your up for sale reality1? details...

'03 or '04 like was already stated. But Fast Gator is right, if you can pick one up that's heavily modded for a good price, jump on it like a pretty chickita !!!

 

I've been without for over a year, just bought an 02 with some mods that I am picking saturday.

X2... Hell, I paid 22K for mine and I wish, time a on my side, I would have bought Rob's.even though I don't like black in West Texas. I don't believe in bad luck., like some others do... I did'nt come out too bad though. I have an 02 and the 1st owner thrashed the engine and now I've have an 04 Ford replacement with the extra threads on the plugs!...less than 20k on the engine.

 

Welcome Back.

 

Thanks!!! I think I just opened up the money pit again!!
