Ordered an 08 FX4

Black Supercab 4dr
5spd Manual (LII shifter)
Torsen 4.10 8.8
Leather seats
Payload Package #2
Bed Extender & rear slider window

Man I can't wait for this truck, it's as close as I'll get to a LII. Hopefully rebates are good to me when it arrives on top of my D-plan
Do you guys know if I'll get 1 bars, I know I'll have C springs in the rear.

I'll keep you guys posted when it arrives

I'll be getting LineX shortly after I get it, probably won't be doing lift, tires for a while.
Even though I'd love to get some 'real' tires (to keep up in the meets lol) I'd really hate to waste new tires. We'll see.
Can't wait, soon I'll meet some of you guys

You can always sell your tires on Craiglist or something, thats what I did with mine.

He was askin $600 for it and when I called him about it some guy had just bought the D35 and was literally pulling outta his driveway... I was freakin pissed!

The local dealership here has pretty good deals on the new 08's. Almost as if they want to just give them out.

I seen a 08 FX4 , 5 spd manual, with leather buckets, power group, factory black step bars, bedliner, stereo package, and a few other toys for cheap. The monthly payments are nothing compaired to mine and with $0 down, 0% financing and incentives galore I'm ->..<- this close to just buying it..........but I'll own mine in June, so depending on if there's not to much engine damage (hopefully it'll just be the plugs and wires that need to be replaced) we'll see.

Who knows, anything is possible. Maybe a drunk driver will lose control and total my truck in the laneway tonight......then it'll be a write off and I'll just need to get another truck.....maybe an F150 this time.....who knows?
