North West BS Thread

The east coast is going in the survival mode in buying due to hurricane Henri reportedly could affect 40 million people. Shelves are wiped out of the usual supplies of water, batteries, lighters, gas, etc.

New York City is already flooding. High tide and surge..

 

Are they shipping yet?

 

Yep. They can ship now that they have the storefront opened and whatever business license they needed.

 

Can you repost the website? Got an anniversary coming up in a few weeks and need to do some planning.

Well @Green Thunder looks like I need to order some now.

 

Your going to drop that post and run? Details!!!

 

Ha!
Not enough seat time to give a full review but I feel like it improved the throttle response. That deep rumble when I get on it is perfect.

 

What size did you go with?

 

12"
Having it now, I would of been happy with a 10" but I think long term I'll enjoy the 12" more. I might pull the resonator off sometime to compare the difference there.

 

I drove around for 2 weeks without the resonator. Sounds awesome, but man the drone got to me. Installed the res, and I think it is a very good balance.

 

On sale at the grocery store. I really can’t think of why this not flying off the shelves…

 

Statistically, the weather forcast for 9 days out is accurate only 50% of the time. lol

 

We had a Forest River Grey Wolf 22 BH that was exactly like you described. Really loved that trailer, but did not use it enough so we sold it. Might check that model out.

 

Dealership called this morning, my truck was delivered last night! Unfortunately my salesman who I've been working with for months is on Vacation until Saturday. So I either wait for him until Saturday or work with somebody else to pick up.

 

Depends how well you liked the guy you were working with. A few more days wait isn't bad if you liked the first guy. If indifferent, go get it!

 

He's been great to work with, and we've talked every week for almost three months. Just not sure if there is any advantage to waiting.

 

Update. My friend is heading back to his place in the mountains. The closest hot spot is 5 miles from his place. The “cooler weather and 450 firefighters” saved his place. It was good to hear.

 

If I recall correctly, my sales guy was off for the weekend. I picked it up and another sales guy gave me the car books and key. No big deal. One less day out in the dealers parking lot and maybe not being used for test rides….

 

That's good news!

 

That's a good point, something I hadn't thought of

 

Totally your call, but I’d want the truck immediately. Phuk waiting any longer. Less risk of door dings and unexplained miles.

I ordered my F150. It arrived while I was in China. Hadn’t seen the family in a week and was running on caffeine and a few hours sleep after the 29hr return trip. Walked in, dropped my bags, kissed the wife and left for the dealership.

 

You guys convinced me, 6:00 pm tonight. I'll try and post one of my crappy pics this evening

 

Really good experience at the Puyallup dealership last night, not sleazy at all. They had it waxed and in their showroom delivery area when I got there. I think somebody may have driven it a little as it had 19 miles on it, but that could just be from transportation.

Truck is better than I expected, it's been a few months since I've driven one. Solid, smooth and no rattles or noise.

 

MOD TIME

 

Looks awesome, congrats!
Is that a Nightshade MGM trim?

 

Yes, Limited Nightshade MGM with the premium package and bed liner. I wanted either the Voodoo Blue like @jewsNbrews has or the MGM, so it worked out good. I also planned on replacing the shocks no matter what, so getting the Nightshade instead of the Off Road was a win for me.

 

Can't go wrong there

 

Nineteen miles isn’t bad. Beautiful truck. Did you have to tell them to not drill a front license plate mount?

 

Thanks!
No spacers or trimming, just Bilstein 6112's set @ 1.3". Tires are Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrain in 275/70

 

I did, several times to make it clear

The Salesman put a plastic sticky one on it before I got there as a joke. I laughed for about one second.
