Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 411707, member: 3825"] I'm looking at a bunch of used trucks for the swap/stretch project. Presently the list includes a 2011 KR, a 2011 Lariat, my 2008 KR, a 2008 Lariat SB and an engineless 2008 XL. I need advise on 3 things. 1. I want a fully optioned truck when I am done, with KR interior colors, minus the KR seats. How much work and headache is it to upgrade an XL to that sort of trim level ? I'm suspecting that adding things like the backup sensor to a 2008 XL would be a major pain if not outright impossible ? I know its impossible to add OEM wireless remote door locks to a '99 XLT. 2. Given that I want to keep this truck for 10 years and I'm not too worried about selling it in the end, how much value should I put on starting with a 2011 versus a 2008 ? 3. How much value should I put on the air bag curtains in the 2011s ? If the difference between the best 2008 truck and the best 2011 truck was $2K or $5K, would you spend it knowing that if there was ever an accident those air bag curtains were there ? Before anyone answers, my bias when doing swaps is to start with a really good candidate truck, whether it comes that way or whether I make it that way. I'm not one to do a swap on a truck that won't be in really good shape when I am done. So I'll end up with the same level of truck no matter what I start with. Sorry I've taken this thread awry, but its easiest for me to ask these questions here, where everyone understands the context, rather than in a separate thread. Thanks [/QUOTE]
