New gallery
I finally got around to taking some pictures and creating a gallery. Thought I'd let anybody who was interested know that its there.
I do have a question for the group. I completed the auto headlamp mod with the modified (fogs on where you want them) auto headlamp switch but have noticed that the switch itself does not light up when the lights are on. The symbols all light up on the faceplate but the switch itself does not light up so you can see it in the dark. Any thoughts?

The gallery looks great...
On the switch... when you say it doesn't light up, do you mean that the **** itself isn't lighting up? I'm not exactly sure what you're describing...

Yes, I mean the **** does not light up. Sorry for the confussion. The **** looks like the ones for the ventilation system and they have a short, kinda white, mark on them that shows what the **** is turned to. Same with the **** for the lights. With the other *****, when the lights are on the white mark glows so you can see what you have it turned to in the dark. The headlight switch does not light up. I'm pretty sure the switch I had earlier, before I switched to the auto headlights switch, did light up.

Thanks Jaguar. Tomorrow I'm having satellite radio and DVD installed along with a custom console between the front center console and the dash. Can't wait to see how it comes out.

I like the Magnaflow dual exhaust both from a sound and HP standpoint. It gives the truck that nice throaty sound without being real loud. Several friends of mine have commented on how they like the way it sounds. I also like the dual tips in the rear look. Since I made the FIPK mod at the same time I made the exhaust mod I'm not sure how much the exhaust mod by itself makes in the HP but its certainly noticable with both in. The superchip tuning also made a noticable improvement. Once the weather warms up in the spring I'm considering putting in electric fans and possibly replacing the pulleys.

Sounds like something I need to do. I do not have any performance mods yet, I only have the K&N drop in filter.
I think I will go for the Superchips Microtuner and or the Magnaflow dual exahuast setup next.
Question: Where did you purchase your Magnaflow setup and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

I bought a Stage 1 perfromance package (includes the Magnaflow exhaust, Airforce 1 FIPK, and Superchips microtuner) from Troyer performance for $965 (delivered to your door). Mine was $20 extra because I wanted the dual out exhaust. I believe they sell the Magnaflow exhaust for $385 ($20 more for the dual out exhaust) but I don't think that includes delivery. You can save some money if you buy a package deal. Hope this helps.
Question: How did you get the link to your gallery to be something other than the default link? I tried following the directions in the gallery for doing this but I can't get it to work unless I use the default.

My switch **** does not light up either.

By the way - Beautiful truck !!!

Thanks B-Man. I was looking closer at the **** and I don't think its designed to light up. When I looked closer at the **** and compared it to the ones on the ventilation system the off white oval area that glows on them appears to just be a painted area on the headlight ****. It also doesn't feel the same. This area on the ventilation ***** appears to be raised slightly but on the headlight **** it feels smooth. I'm not sure why Ford would design the **** so that it dosen't light up but that appears to be the case.
