Christmas Present to myself

I got some parts painted (mirror caps, handles, and flares), pictures will come tonight.

I have been back and forth about whether or not to keep the truck, but i've decided i'll give it another year and see where I am at next winter.

I just picked them up from the shop, and they look awesome.

I can't wait to get them on.

(I know, this is useless without pics, i'm just excited)

Me either! Probably going to do it Christmas weekend, when I have access to the garage at my parents house. My garage is too small to fit the truck in, damn apartments.

Thinking about upgrading to another F150, or something entirely new?

Either a 2010 or 2011 was what I was looking at. However, I want to see how the 2011's turn out. I'll probably get an early 2012 instead or a cheap 2011 next December.

I love my truck, but being in Wisconsin, I could really use 4WD. I would also like a super cab.

I really like the look of the new style STX trucks.

I was just about to mention the jimmi jammers. I want to get LT handles with the keypad and do the j/js at the same time.
