Oh I didnt know you went out there. I assume you went with Nate?

Do you have a list of stuff you've done to your truck? I'd be interested to look at it

Yes, we were both out there.

I've done nothing out of the ordinary to my truck...tuning and an exhaust, and a change of tires when I race. That's pretty much it. You're more than welcome to check it out any time, but it looks like most any other 6.0 you'll see...that is, that doesn't have it's cab raised for a change of head gaskets

The 05-07 body style was/is my favorite body style on SuperDutys.

I also like the '08 a lot, and the '11 slightly less than that. (But I LOVE their interior..)

But the 05-07 was the first model year loved because before then I was too young to care.

You planning on changing the front end your '02? Headlights and a grille (with a little trimming) and you're there!

Its on my "Want to do" list. But its not near the top right now, but I want to do the whole front, bumper included. And thats the part that slows me down, because doing the bumper complicates things a little bit. But oh well, one day

Yeah, but if you do the bumper you don't have to trim the grille

On a separate topic...

I'm a fan of the Ventura PD's new SWAT vehicle. Look closely, and you can see that its on a 2011 Superduty body

I didn't realize the violence got so bad we needed a tank? Heck, just fix up a surplus unit from the middle east.

You can shop for your new Lenco AV here:

Ventura chose the Bearcat LE model.
