I converted and I love it! Bought a new FX4 :) (new here)
Hi everyone. I have had my new truck for about a week now. I think it is time to introduce myself 
I used to own a 2002 Chevy Silverado - decked-out. Two weeks ago, I was T-boned. By a POS Honda Element. The dude blew a red light and hit me doing 50mph. I dislocated my left shoulder, had to go to the hospital by ambulance, yada yada yada. Anyway, my old Chevy was totaled by my insurance, finally, and I went new truck shopping! (I had just paid off the Chevy 2 months before the wreck).
1. I hate the new Chevy body style - that was out
2. I don't like the front end of the Dodge's
3. I REALLY LIKE the Ford's. (Been wanting one for years, but I was planning on keeping mine for a couple more years.)
So, I found exactly what I wanted, found out where it was and bought it
I still have some stuff I want to do to it..... but here are a few pics of the totaled out Chevy - the front picture shows how hard this a-hole hit me - the front tires are aimed out. The frame of the Element went through my door, punched a hole in the floor and came inside the cab.
My very wise choice for replacement:

Anyway, I cannot stop myself, I keep ordering mods for it. Just ordered the bed cover tonight (had one on the Chevy and loved it!)
