All,

Just traded in my 2006 6.0 F250 Lariat Crew 4x4 for a 2011 FX4 SCrew Ecoboost. Been lurking around and searching to get up to speed on a new forum and learn about the new rig. I appreciate all the info that everyone has been posting!!

Truck is totally stock currently, but in about 2 weeks I should have a Quick Lift, 18" Method rims and some BFG's.

Once I install the shocks, put the wheels and tires on and get it aligned I will post some pictures.

Coming from a Diesel, besides the truck being super quiet to the point it is hard to tell if it is on sometimes, the turbo 6cyl made the transition very nice.

Cheers,

Rob

Thanks for the welcome.

I looked through the instructions on how to upload a photo and it said to find the manage uploads icons in the regular post reply. Couldn't find them for one reason or another.

Ya, new guy issue. I looked through the FAQ's and can't figure it out. I have a photo of the old and new in the same spot on my driveway, but....

This is a test link to a snapfish, don't really expect it to work but I figured I'd try.....

New Truck

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

Rob

When your typing a reply, just look for the yellow mountain icon in the tool bar (usually the second icon in from the right). It will open a prompt and you just drop in the web address of the photo. The easiest thing to do is upload your photos to an album on this site or use a photobucket if you want more privacy.

Or you can just type [IMG]______[/IMG] and put the URL location of the picture in the blank space

It should look something like this when you are done:

[IMG]www.picture.com[/IMG]

and the picture will/should show up when you save your post.



The silver and 20's looks great by the way!
