I like those bumpers but I know they are $$$$$.

If you want them make sure you call roadarmor direct. time to time they have deals like 20% or free freight, which is a great deal. 4wheelparts wanted an extra G more then what i paid for the pair directly through roadarmor.

I already posted pics of the new truck, but here it is with the Tigé. I also added flares, topper and power steps since the last post. If you haven't seen power steps, they are awesome, extend out when door is open and retract under rocker panel when door is closed. They come down lower than nerf bars, so my wife loves them. I was supposed to be boating last Saturday and the best I could do was wax and move the boat to the summer side of the garage, taller door with out having to fold tower.

Just a little biased, being from the Detroit area. Anytime a see a sweet truck that is built by one of the big 3 I'm greatful. Thanks!

ok i got the UGLY this last week with the old F150. its an 05 5.4L 3v 88k miles. i was aware of the problem with the spark plugs breaking off in cyl. head i followed the ford T S B and still broke the first one off in the head. got on the web to find a kit to remove broken plugs its $600. call my old boss at the ford dealership he said he had kit and use it everyday bring it down and he would see what he could do for me. i am also friends with the tech. that would be working on my truck so i knew i would get a fair shake from these guys. well 3 broke 5 didnt= 6hrs labor(discounted) plugs at cost shop supplys to replenish part of tool kit that is throw away $110 all for a grand total of $626 bucks for a job i should have been able to do myself for under a $100. so if you own an 04-08 5.4L 3v or mustang 4.6L3v beware when you need to change the plugs it could and from what ive heard WILL get UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if ford gets out of this without a recall or class action lawsuit i will be amazed. the problem is already spreading like wildfire from what i have heard and seen on the web. a ton of people have had to spend thousands to have the eng. removed tore down and broken plugs removed because the dealer didnt have kit yet or didnt know about kit. or maybe just wanted to make money who knows for sure. this was my first ford truck and i really have loved the truck up until now. its not really the money but i dont think ford is stepping up and taking care of their customers so this will be my last ford . for them to turn their heads and not admit there is a major problem when they KNOW they have produced an inferior product and step and fix it is crazy.

Sorry to hear about your spark plug problem. My freind had the same issue with his truck and I started a thread about it 9/23/07. I'm glad you got it fixed.

thanks. but actually this is a different problem then the blowing out problem. ford is still trying to figure out how to design a spark plug i guess. your friends blown out plug comes out and strips threads my plug unthreads but leaves the bottom half of the plug in the cyl. head.

Here is a pic of my truck and me trying to change the spark plugs on the Powerstroke. I couldn't find them, will look again later.
