Wannabe L's

[Red2002]

What's your opinion? I've seen so many in the past few weeks that I'm beginning to wonder if even mine is real. :)

Mega thumbs down on the fake Ls. I am suprised I have not seen more of them out there with the way this fake sticker having rice boy generation that is coming up these days...... Its a sad state of affairs gentlemen...

Please no flame here, but I saw a pretty grey supercrew the other day with the lightning emblems, and also the lightning front faschia(sp), lowered, with some what looked like the wheels that come on the Harley Davidson F150's. It was a beautiful truck, but when I saw the Lightning emblems, I got a little ticked. Also, with me not knowing much about the new Harley D supercrew with the L engine. Do they just look like the normal HD trucks(i.e. always black with the special badges, or do they come in different colors)? How could you tell if they are the hot ones?

Forgive me, but I have yet to even see a picture of one, or anything.

Up to this year they were all black, but no supercharger:burnout:

All of the 2002 HD are supercrew trucks, come in either black or grey, have a flame emblem on either side and are all blown. The only difference that I could see in the engine is the upper supercharger pulley is larger than the one on the Lightning.

Really ticks me off :flaming: that they put a supercharger on the HD, but it is heavier and will easily be smoked by a Lightning. Of course, they are easily tuned up just like the Lightning:burnout:. I don't think we have much to worry about there.:tongue:

I thought imatation was the best form of flattery? Looks are only half the battle :D As for the HD I like it, it won't be racing against us. it is a nice family truck with some much needed power.

[tliss]

I think the one that irritated me the most was the Expy with the Lightning badges I saw one day. Didn't even have any of the other Lightning gear...just the badges! Made me want to get out and pry them off with a phillips screwdriver!

The other one I saw was in Austin when I went down last summer for the Heat Wave. A guy entered the show as a Lightning, but it had the stock F150 bumper, a crappy exhaust that exited so far behind the back passenger side wheel you would swear it was mounted to the back bumper, and it was gold in color. The guy would not open his hood to show us what was inside, so you know it was nothing but a phony.

Lightning badges on phonies is a :nono: . Make me want to :vomit:

Most excellent use of smileys! You have won my vote. We shall pass an order to remove fake L badges on site. I will remove them with Mr. Gauge :tu:

[AggieSVT]

Thanks everyone. I am more informed on what the new HD's are supposed to look like. This guy that has this truck has eyed my truck, as I have eyed his truck, but we have been going opposite directions each time we met. I really thought the truck looked sweet, just didn't like the fact he put the L emblems on it. IF I have to sell the L, I think I will try to get one of those. I can take all my mods of my L and put them on the HD, lets see what that baby can really do:eek:

Hey tliss, where in McKinney do you live? We used to live in Eldorado Heights II off of Eldorado and Lake Forest. We were there for a little over 3 years. If I remember correctly, I saw that you work for Nortel. I worked there for almost 8 years until they got me last April. Since then, it has been a wild year!! I hope all goes well there for you. I know they are still cutting people left and right.

I was just at Payton Wright today getting our old Contour fixed (Cost 30% of trade-in value :mad: ) and they had the 2002 HD in the showroom.

I didn't notice any flame emblems but the "F-150 Harley Davidson" badges all had "SUPERCHARGED" in really small lettering at the bottom of the badge.

That will be pretty tough to spot from any distance.

Oh yeah, the engine compartment nearly looks identicle to ours...

[L8 APEX]

The pinstripe has a flame pattern to it on the bed I think..

[tliss]

I live in northern McKinney near the new high school. There is another member of this board that lives down the street from me as well. I've been working at Nortel for a little over 5 years now and so far so good. Hopefully everything turns out OK, but you never know.

You are correct, L8...the HD pinstripe goes down the side and ends up in a flame pattern near the back end of the truck. The HD looks sharp, especially in the new grey, but it surely is no Lightning.

[Mumbly]

[Lil Nicky88]

I live in Mckinney off Eldorado and 75. Right behind El Fenix. In the El Lago Apts. I don't know what's up with all of the el's and o's though.

[tliss]

Hey Lil Nicky88...you're right up my alley! I'm up by the new high school off of Wilmeth in McKinney. There are a few of us up in McKinney now. We'll ahve to get together one of these days. I'm heding down to Speedworks tomorrow about 10 to see what my trcuk gives me now on the dyno. If you're interested let me know and we'll convoy. I'm trying to get one other McKinney Lightning out there as well.

[AggieSVT]

Hey Tom,

I live in Lucas and need to take my L to the dyno. Where is speedworks and do you have to have an appt? If it is not raining in the morning, I might be able to go and see what I have at the rear wheels after my latest mod. If you get a chance today, shoot me an email at Doug.CTR.Bramlett@faa.gov

[tliss]

AggieSVT...you've got mail

[Lil Nicky88]

But the dealership is giving me some crap about not having a gasket for my intake so I can take my truck home till Monday. Sounds like they are running a little behind.


Can you believe that these ... buttholes... gave me a ford escort for a rental?
