First Impressions--WOW!!

OH....MY...GOD!!!! THIS X IS AWESOME!!!

Yep... in caps 'cause I'm yellin. This is my first experience with the X and what a vehicle.

Yesterday I picked up my 05 Eddie Gasser V10 4X4... drove home 225 miles... Pure joy!! My boys watched DVDs (ages 5-6-8) in the back... and wifeypoo followed in the Grand Caravan... Pure joy for her too.

I'll post some pics and more details when I get the time and when the weather is nicer...

...Here's what I have accomplished in the past week and a half (Xwise).

-K&N FIPK 57-2524-2
-M-2301-E FORD RACING Aluminum Fuel Filler Door
-OEM FORD Harley Chrome Tow Hooks
-Rancho Steering Stabilizer (current one has a leak)
-4 new OEM wireless headphones for my boys
-a FULL complement of charcoal Catch-All mats & liner
-4 new OEM centercaps for the wheels (it has Limited type on it now).
-Mobil1 for an engine oil change (filter too)

Researching...
--replacement head light bulbs
--replacement fog lamp bulbs (9005?)
--shocks...probably Bilstein but the ride was awesome (it currently has
Rancho adjustable on rear and OEM on front).

More to come...

Congrats on the new truck. The fog lights are 9005's, you can also use H10's to. Are you getting bulbs with blue tint?

Not sure yet... Why? Is blue the way to go. Thought I would go with Silverstars or UltraSilverstars

I got the blue tint and i love it. It also looks really nice if someone is driving your truck down the street and you get to see your truck driving. If you are going to get the blue tint i would deff go with matrix by gr motorsports. Summit racing sells them

These are the links to the bulbs that i am running, if your interested:
