ADS shocks look cooler.

My first guess: a dirty ground wire somewhere. It's a time suck to find stuff like this.

I'd like to see the front fenders in person, on a Gen 1 with 0 offset wheels and 35's. That 2" wider shape will either look absolutely bada ss, or will look like a kid wearing his dad's suit.

Following, same issue on the P-side blinker on my 2012 3.5 ecoboost.

Fixing or replacing a section of a steel floor on a mass-produced truck is definitely not a deal-breaker. (We had three different roofs in 2 racing seasons on a '96 extracab Ranger race truck due to "driver error".) If the seller acknowledges the cost of the repair, and isn't gonna do it...

So what was cut out & replaced? Was it a portion of the frame, or the bottom of the cab?

Don't be like this Gen 1 guy (at 30sec in):

I thought that was a diving platform.

Hope your gas card is sharpened and ready to use. IYKYK

Sounds like what I did. My neighbor and I left Hesperia at 4am, the day after Christmas, and drove to Sacto to pick up a 2011 6.2L SCAB. Got back around midnight. And I was texting photos from inside the cab to some friends on the drive home. Took them awhile to figure out what I had just bought.

P-side front suspension is hung. Time for a nap & some Advil.

Driveshaft is back on. (I noticed the scraped section when I removed it). It's centered at 25.5" from the rear flange, and seems to be near the end of the (aftermarket) exhaust. Any opinions on if those scratches are from contact with the oem muffler; either it came loose, got bent somehow...

I still want to see that shltbag governor's picture on the back of a milk carton.

No one has ever physically checked the VIN when I've bought or sold within the state of kalifornistan; since I started driving in 1979. Should I just steal cars within the state to evade authorities?

But why? Where is the logic for treating a mass-produced, 50-state legal truck built in Michigan; like it is somehow different because it was parked in another state? It's just one more bureaucracy job-creating revenue source that should have been eliminated decades ago.

I bought a 2012 3.5 ecoboost from a dealer in Vegas in 2018, that was originally purchased in New York. The CA DMV office in Victorville treated it like is was some sort of exotic car. Wanted it weighed, smogged, and a physical inspection appointment with a moron that didn't know the first thing...

From the video:

I purchased a pair of them for my Gen 1, but they won't clear my Gen 2 shocks with the SVC coil adjusters, so I'm staying with the oem CV axles. I researched the axles online. Couldn't find reviews for an F150 application, mostly just cars & other vehicles that don't really articulate much...

Are those the "Trackmotive" brand of axles? And the shocks are on mid-perch? So it's a "lifted" truck with "aftermarket" axles?

That's gotta be below KBB. Just be sure it passes a smog test before handing over cash.

At 3.5% interest on my mortgage, (a total monthly payment under a grand), and free solar power, you couldn't get me out of here with dynamite.

Turns out I'm better at welding than I am at  painting. Oh well, it's done, and it's drying. The P-side front suspension will be hung tomorrow.
