Upgraded - 2009 FX4 to 2011 FX4

My new 2011 FX4 Luxury pkg came in last night and got it picked up, pics aren't the best but so far I am impressed with the improvements:

If anyone is good with photoshop, wondering if they could take the step bars off the pic from my 2009 and paste on the 2011. I'm afraid the brushed aluminum might not mesh with the new truck, but want to see what it will look like. THanks in advance if anyone can help me out.

Looks great! I can't wait to get one myself. I'd also vote to leave the steps off unless u need them.

Im guessin you got the 5.0. Post some pics of the interior. I'd like to see some pics of the dash and the leather seats.

I wish I could leave the steps off, but have 2 young kids and a short wife that require them. Didn't watn the painted ones that came with the FX4 cause I'm afraid rocks would tear those up and they would rust.

RangerRick, thanks so much for the photoshop, I really appreciate it, that's exactly what I was wanting to see.

I'll try to get some interior shots tonight and post them.

Thanks all for the comments, and for the photoshop. So far the truck is great, haven't really had a chance to test the 5.0 out yet, but the new message center is awesome.

Those wheels look like a nice upgrade compared to the old style.

Great looking truck! If you decide to put the steps on, you may want to consider getting them Line-X'd black or something along those lines.

I had the same thought, but the Line-X guy said if they are polished aluminum, they can't do it cause it won't stick.

I had mine done a few months ago. They sandblasted them first and then coated them. I've had no issues so far.

Hmmm, interesting. Do you have any pics? Maybe I just need to try another line-x dealer.
