Bye bye E55

Traded the E55 and some money for this '04 F150 Supercrew Lariat 4x4. It has a 4" Rancho lift, Rancho adjustable shocks, 33" tires, wheels, Air Raid intake and air horns (which are loud ). The truck only has 55,000 on it and still smells new inside. The known issues with the 5.4 Triton V8 have been taken care of as well. He took extremely good care of the truck and it shows. I did the trade with my roommate's boss who owns an MB/BMW indy shop. He's going to drive the E55 for awhile and half-*** try to sell it.

I'm going to miss the E55 some, but I was bored with it. I'm keeping the 19" TSW wheels and H&R springs from it. They'll be for sale rather soon. I want to do local only on the wheels/tires. They're 8 months old, have maybe 3,000 miles on them and the wheels are in perfect condition. The springs are still on the car and I should have them within a couple of weeks.

Your E55 looked nice! You must have been really bored with it.

I had it for 3 years and wanted/needed a truck. The car also photographed really well and didn't look that nice in person.

I have already ask him about the springs and he said the buyer originally doesnt want the car that low but would try it out. He then come back and said the guy decided to keep the H&R cut springs...so long story short, the springs went with the car
