That’s gotta be the best feeling.
Every single day you drive it from here on out it's like it's paying YOU back.It's officially paid off!
I'm not allowed to get a bike. my leash says no! if only I had of got it before we fell in love at 19 lol!Every single day you drive it from here on out it's like it's paying YOU back.
It's a money tree, in a way.
That's my warped way of looking at it anyways.
I remember back when Diesel spiked for the first time and my daily driver suddenly cost more than $100 to fill it up. I protested by buying a KLR650 to commute on. Although I paid cash, they were advertising the bike for $52.00 per month.
I immediately pointed out that ExxonMobil was buying this bike for me and that every time I passed by the station on the way to the office that I'd salute them.
I put 48,000 miles on it before giving it to a college kid who needed transportation. I still say I never paid a ¢ for it.
Congratulations.![]()

But I want a bike lol... My little bro just got an Enduro ... But he's not married...Ummmm. I was NOT suggesting.......
But, let's say you buy some new tires for the truck in the months ahead? I say the truck is now funding its needs itself.![]()

Awesome. I have about $385 left on mine. Just going to wait it out. My interest rate is so low I won't notice it. I just bought a snowmobile last weekend so that is the new hobby.It's officially paid off!

Glad you love it, and welcome to the site!First post & in answer to the thread title, what I love about my truck is that it`s a King Ranch. I`m on my 6th F 150 & this `15 is by far the best, to me.
Ahhh... the ever controversial topic of “boots up or boots down”.These!.....Bilsteins-Woop Woop
LOL it should be down so if water or mud gets in it wont settle where shaft and piston seals are at. I know there are drain holes but why even let dirt get on the rod that close to where it goes into piston? but it doesn't effect performance at all either wayAhhh... the ever controversial topic of “boots up or boots down”.
No argument here. I called Billstein USA, they told me boots down and more specifically to put the shock in the position where the Bilstein sticker was readable when standing back to look at it. I did say controversial topic, right? They’re monotubes should work either way.LOL it should be down so if water or mud gets in it wont settle where shaft and piston seals are at.

Power, acceleration, handling, fuel economy, transmission, looks (Magma Red STX 2WD crew).Hey guys. We talk about horsepowwaaaaaas and tunes and whatnot here incessantly. Obviously we all love our twin turbskis and the power we get from them. But, in the end, our trucks really are more than just a motor.
Let's talk about that other stuff. Our trucks have a ton of features. I came from a '99 with a manual tranny. The power windows and mirrors we're really the only "options" it had, and before that an '87 with manual everything. As you can imagine, my 302A had me wide eyed in awe of the features this truck has.
What do you love about your truck? What options can you no longer do without? What does it have that you couldn't care less about?
My favorites, that I'll always have from now on, are the heated seats, backup camera, and remote start.
Tow mirrors. I bought the truck with standard mirrors. I thought I could deal with them since it's a half ton this go-round, and I don't tow that much any more. Nope. Never again. I won't leave the lot without them again.
In bed lighting. LOVE IT. I'm often loading up for a job early in the morning, or late the night before. The in bed lighting is invaluable. I will always have that, or add it, in the future.
Large screen head unit. I love the large screen, but it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker for me. If I found the right truck and this was the only thing missing, I could deal with that. I'd probably just do a tablet head unit upgrade.
The backup assist looks neat, but I still haven't even set it up.

Boots are down. If you just look at the directions it says the wording must be ledigible. You can only read the items with boots down. Luck for you, the rear shocks are easy to replace. Just make sure you fully tighen the nuts with the weight on the tires/suspension.These!.....Bilsteins-Woop Woop
Yeah, and make sure you don’t get those front ones upside down.Boots are down. If you just look at the directions it says the wording must be ledigible. You can only read the items with boots down.
