I may be a bit 'blind', but didn't your new truck come with upfitter switches?

In your photos it looks like you have 'em but it's hard to tell..

Upfitter Switches for $90.15

And it's only for the 05-07 Super Duty. Doh!

Here is the kit for the 2008:

I have them, but still haven't used them for anything yet. Probably going ot be used for a rear light and off-road light set when I get the bar for the front.

Good Luck with your new beast!

I'd drive it to work the next day.

I traded my last 2007 F-150 with 40k on it at around 8 months for $1,000 less than we paid for it - believe it or not. Coupled with buying the current 2007 F-250 PSD I drive below invoice and the $5,000 rebates available then, I went back to a diesel with a very minimal hit. So many people look at me and say "Man, I can't believe he is always driving a new truck". I snicker because at the miles I put on, I never have costs for brakes, shocks, tires, exhaust, tranny service, etc... and the trade differences don't cost too much more than what services would cost before 50k miles.

Good for you Freeky! I'm in the process of getting an order together. By the time it comes in, I'll be ready to trade - 50-55,000 miles, or so. I can't stand the limited colors out there and am having a hard time choosing. That's why I started early. I like the Dark Stone over Pueblo, but one of my favorites is the red over shadow gray two-tone FX4. I'm going crew cab again, and probably an 8-foot bed with 20's. I just hate spending that kind of cash for the company without getting my power sliding rear window - especially when the Lariat loaded the same has a few more bells and whistles for about a measly $500 more. Lord help me make a decision!

Not sure 'cause you quoted me, but are you liking my 2007 Toreador over Silver in my signature, or Freeky's black FX4?
