    What seats will interchange??

    I have a 2003 XLT FX4. The seats are fairly basic, cloth, 2 tone. I would like to upgrade the front seats with something with more comfort, side bolster etc. I am even open to recovering the right seats with Katskinz leather. Are any of the F150 years/seats bolt in, especially the later years??

    Anyone have the GoRhino grill guard on their 2nd gen?

    I am thinking of adding the GoRhino 3000 to my '03 FX4, I am wondering if you are able to retain the front tow hooks as it seems to mount to the frame using those holes although I did see one pic where they retained the tow hooks but was unsure if it was a goRhino or if they were fabbed on...

    Is there a write up on timing chain tensioner replacement on 5.4 2v's?

    So at one time I got a tank of really bad gas and that is when the problem first started. Truck ran like crap and then once I went through that tank of fuel it seemed to clear up.
