Thumbs up White Lightnings rule!!!!!

Well fellers,

A certain white Lightning arrived at the local dealership yesterday. All I can say is that this truck is waaaaaaaayyyyy better than advertised!!!!! Never had a white vehicle in my life but very pleased with the choice. Overall quality is excellent with only one minor overspray on the tailgate. The bed and bumper are properly aligned, and no scratches were evident on the front bumper.

Took her out today for an extended cruise, already put 150 miles on her. I am breaking the WhiteL in moderate to heavy abuse so I'll let you know the results. Below is the link to the offical BTJ website for those interested.

You will be able to catch the Bandit in your new ride. I considered white when I bought my L. My last F150 was white and it was real easy to keep clean, and is cool in the summer.

I know you will love your new truck

Nice truck BTJ. White is a good choice as it's the 2nd fastest color to SSSSSSSSILVER.

Thanks to all for the kind words. I have found myself going out to the garage every half hour to check on the L and just stare. I can see that I am a goner......


White2000SVT - sweet ride, I have toyed with the idea of getting a Bassani cat-back. Any pictures of the installed system?
