Kris,
Wow, I bet he appreciated the act of kindness. :thumbsup:
If my father wasnt so damn picky, I would love to do something like that for him..

Yeah, he enjoys the car, but on the downside, it's a little rough on his back since it's so low and shifts hard but he says it's not too bad.:)

I want a Lightning for a daily driver. I need to stop buying Mustangs and look for a deal on one. :unibrow:

They can be found for reasonable prices. I picked mine up for under $22K. Some out there are in the $18K area. '03 and '04 are most desireable because '02 and earlier had problems spitting spark plugs because the heads weren't threaded deep enough. The problem affected 1 in 4 Lightnings I believe, but it was a warranty fix, so it's probaly even more rare now.

Check out the www.nloc.net for sale section, that's where I found mine. :)

Nice truck.. wish they made it in a crew or at least extended cab.. I NEED the back area.. :)

They do; the Harley Davidson edition in 03 I believe started being made with the Lightning engine/trans (20 less HP).

Yeah, the HD F-150's were 4-doors with the S/C 5.4, but only ran 6psi of boost stock compared to the 8psi in the Lightnings, making them less powerful. Very nice trucks just the same though. A friend of mine just bought an all black one that looks amazing.

Kris

Those are really cool, congrats. I had a '04 with every bolt on that JDM made and I really liked it. Sold it to a friend of mine about a year ago and I saw it last weekend, it only has 4k miles on it!

Very nice SW! What kind of drop did you have on it. I have the Hotchkis springs, but it's not much of a drop. I love the way it looks, but a bit lower wouldn't be bad either. :)

What kind of numbers were you seeing with the bolt ons?

I can't believe you picked black! :lol:
