I'd rather send money to you than give it to "The Man" (big business).

I've done my own in my lightning and my wife's expedition.

waz up everyone!
good to hear theres a lot of people from washington that post on the fourms.
im from renton washington just join today. just bought a 07 f150 fx2sport about a months an a half ago.
finally got my dream truck. hopefully soon ill put some pictures up. tryin to replace the system and the grille in the next couple weeks. just bought a chrome billet style grille for it, looks great. only problem is that the 07 fx2 comes with the dark shadow grey billet style grille. thats comes in the 08 f150 accessories book. looks nice but want to switch it to chrome and want it to be metal rather then plastic. lookin to see if anyone out there has that stock honeycomb grille insert. thats wanna trade/swap me for my dark shadow grey grille. would help out a lot. called all ford parts to get the piece they only sell the WHOLE grille with the fiber glass cost over 250.00. just need the plastic honeycomb insert. anyone wanna trade or interested let me know ill send pics of wat it looks like.
thanks

Hello, just joined the forum. I don't own a Lightning yet, but I will in the coming months. I'm currently in Alaska right now also, but we'll be moving to Washington again within the next year or so as well. I can't see owning a truck you can't drive year round here. I've driven many Lightnings, Cobras, GT Mustangs ect... I love them all. I drive a F-250 4x4 w/a 7.5 w/mods right now also.
It beats driving an import!

Bringing this topic back:
Anyone in the Seattle area with level kit and larger tires I can meet up and see your rig? I've got an '06 looking to do a few things to and want some first-hand knowledge of what you have and how it looks/acts.
Thanks,
M

Fort Lewis over here. I hang out all around tacoma/auburn once in a while. I got a level and 35s if you wanna see.
Mods are all done. Went with 275/65R20 BFG All-Terrain. These are same width as stock but 34.1" tall instead of 32.9". Leveled, Exhaust, Tuner, Intake, and Tonneau. 131,000 miles - probably keep her another 30,000 or so.
