WOW --- looks like a brand new truck ! How long will it take me to drive down there with mine ... hmmmm lol...
Very impressive ! Can't wait to see it all badged up ! How did all the light harnesses etc.. match up ? Looks like you got a real show stopper there ! Nice work indeed...

I happened to see a new Ford crew cab at a gas station. As much as I like my '05 X, and as "slick' as I think it is, damn ...those new Ford trucks are NEAT.
Still has a solid front axle, but COIL springs-the guy says it rides MUCH better than his own older EX. Improvements of all kinds, including more powerful V-10.
So I disagree - i dont think the term "nearly identical' is correct. I have never been a FORD guy - always thought they were the worst in terms of build quality compared to the others of the Big Three. My EX sure turned me around...and I like the new ones even MORE !

I'm VERY impressed with the work and the speed in which it was done!
However, that doesn't belie the fact that I think the 09 front end design to be hideous. I'll never like it no matter what comes after it.
The fender vents are cool though! It's just those headlights...yuck.
