Wanted to Say Hello.

I wanted to say hello and get my feet wet in the forums. I just picked my beautiful black 2014 F250 up a week ago Wednesday. We took it on a trip to Lake of The Ozarks last weekend. Used it to pull our PWC home. The big 6.7 didn't even know it was back there. :-) So far I am really pleased with every aspect of the truck. Very smooth and quite. Fuel tank size was a bit of a surprise but works fine with out travel distances. I'm really proud of my new truck! Hope the picture posts.

Brian

Thank you very much! I spent quite alot of time reading on this forum before I purchased my truck. I learned some very useful information that helped considerably during the shopping and purchasing process. I wanted to wait till I had my truck and was able to post a picture of her before I joined the forum. :-)

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I took a vaction day Monday and had a "truck day." First was the install of the spray in Line-X bedliner, then the Line-X tonneau cover and finally the front side window tinting. Tuesday I changed the oil (thats a lot of oil!), oil filter and fuel filters. More detailing and cab time with the owners manual in hand this weekend. Need to get the hands free and voice commands all figured out. Program garage door opener also.

Hi Brian, nice rig!!! How dark did you go on the front windows? I've been led to believe the rears are 20% from the factory...sound right? Did you just match them? Max in Kansas is 35%, but most if not all shops just match the factory...if thats 20%...so be it.

Thanks! Enjoy the ride!
