She is pretty special .... she (Wife Unit) has been mine now 30 years this month
.... and counting.
She wants a personalized plate on it, she's never wanted one on our other
cars or her Subaru Forester. She's making a list of possibilities. She's calling
it "her GT' now.
Once we get over the newness, we'll settle down and maybe drive it a
couple or 3 thousand a year at most. Gonna build a shed type car port
for it though.
I forgot to mention, I never found the $10,000 truck she liked enough to look
at hardly ....
.... it ran a little bit over that.
It has a red and carbon fiber look intake tube set up "TruFlow" I think, and
NO CHIPS (I had it scanned before putting my signature on the line, want to
keep the balance of factory warranty. In service Nov 2007).
I got this picture on the way home as she come up to pass me in the Bird.
Here's a Raptor pic, not my truck .... $41K.
Nice rig bear! Really like the interior. And man those '09s are really growing on me, that Raptor looks really sweet and I'm not much of a short bed fan either.
P.S. Either your in Europe somewhere or the cam reversed the photo, looks funny to see her driving from the right side of the truck lol.

I got the picture on the way home as she come up to pass me, I took it in the mirror on my driver's side door of my Tbird. I erased the tag, but the grille emblem tells the tale, I caught the signal on too I see.
The Raptor was sharp, I think it was sold the same day we picked up our '07.

Ya I was going to say the samething. I had to looke at it many of times. I looked at other pics and seen the stearing wheel on the right side. So I figured maybe it was the way he took the pic like in a mirror as he said.
I just bought my first vehicle 3 weeks ago, a 2004 F-150 Extended cab, 6 1/2" box, 5.4L V8, 4x4, 125,000 km. It also came with the tint and tonneau which the previous owner installed.
I think i got a pretty good deal considering it was only $13500 CA.
I think i may take off the chrome fender trim, i'm not crazy about it, what do you guys think?
I'm also pretty sure my first mod will be Bilstein's 5100 series shocks and that will level it out.

A word of warning on the fender trim....it has been known to scratch the paint and be very obvious when you take them off. A fellow member here did the same thing a while back and actually had to order new ones to put on once he had the old ones off.....the scratching was so bad it was either cover it up again or repaint. Don't know if you care or not but just thought that I would give you a heads up.

speaking of fender flares, Im thinking of getting a set of the FX4 fender flares (the black, subtle ones) anyone know where i can find them and for how much?
ditching the fender trim would be a good place to start. Nice truck! red f150 ext cab.. CLASSIC
Thanks. Yeah I might also take off the steps because as you can see their is a pretty good dent on it, and its like that on the other side as well.

So the paint could be scratched underneath the trim, correct?
