    My life is now complete...

    I finally bought my dream truck...an 02 True Blue Lightning. Needs a little work, but she'll be a keeper. Came with 4lb pulley upgrade that has been tuned, C&L cold air and that's about it. I'll be getting new grill, headlights and fog lamps tomorrow from the Ford dealer and it's shine and show ready. I'll post pics as soon as I get to it.

    I've seen that truck before I like that color. Oh and make sure the truck is actually tuned for the 4lb pulley they may have just installed the pulley (I believe my brother spoke with the owner before he sold it if it's the truck I'm thinking about, just want you to be safe!).

    I got him to include OEM grill, headlights and fog lights for the price he was asking. Thing drives like new with no rattles and it's tight. I'm 46 years old, so she'll be babied now.

    I got almost everything on and it looks like a LIGHTNING again up front. Ghetto look is not my thang and it had regular F150 lights in front and I had to pull out some strobe lights . Blue oval was not with the grill and when I get it in tomorrow, I'll share some pics.

    Horn on the darn thing don't work and is all I need to fix...when I trip the panic button on the remote it won't work either so something wrong under the hood. No biggie though.

    Congrats.
    Lightnings are great trucks. I've driven the snot out of mine since new and I've never had issues with it.

    You should bring it by our Dyno Day on Sunday and have the air/fuel checked. There will be a couple of other L's in attendance.

    Browse the Autotrader and Craigslist, they're plenty out there for sale. I found some nice ones for about $12K, but beware of scammers wanting your down payment.

    Nice.
