....and now for something different
Picked up a leftover '11 in December. Threw a few mods at it and it's just the way I envisioned it. Don't see to many standard cab/long beds these days. Perfect for a DD, a couple with no childrens, kayaks and a motorcycle......

The Sterling Gray was real close to the Dark Shadow Gary that my wifes' '07 Focus was. I really liked that color. It was either gray or Race Red. My dealer had one example of each on the lot.

Thank you for the welcome. I did the bumpers with Plasti-dip as well as the replacement grille and grille shell as they were gloss black as supplied from the manufacturer. The texture and color are a perfect match to the OEM black plastic pieces and the coating is proving to be very durable.

Yes and yes. I had a 2000 4x4 extended cab with the 4.6 in it and this V6 feels far superior to that engine. I use this as a DD and don't tow anything so it was a no-brainer for me. With the 3.73 gears and limited slip it's great. I also run a 5 Star tune with a tweeked exhaust and AIRAID intake as well.
