So jacked when I saw this. I just flew to Florida last week. Bought a black Ford myself and drove it home to Wisconsin during spring break. You've inspired me so much man. Love the channel, content, and inspiration. Thank you for everything sir
A friend of mine bought one new in 02. His was the dark blue I think it’s called True Blue. His came with the black honeycomb grill . He had the Swede seats redone back in 2020. He still has the truck with 140k on her. Sweet ride for sure. Still looks great and has been garage kept all its life. Did some mods to it .. 4 lb pulley and dyno tune. 417 rwhp. Ran a best of 12.6 @ 106 mph.
Even on vacation 🏖️🌊…..Chris blesses us with content as well as new purchase/build for us to follow along! Congrats on your new purchase, I’ve always been a fan of these as well as the 1st gens. Interested to see what all you do to it!
The hair dryer voltage selector is just a mechanical switch, If you where to use the this dryer in UK it will only allow you to use on the low setting cutting the current in half.
Watched this video (and your others on Lightning) a few months ago, and I took the plunge and got the Eonon X3 for my 2000 Lightning. Excellent recommendation! Just finished installing and figured out the boot logo. (wish could change the wallpaper to custom). I was spoiled with my 2023 Maverick, so I wanted something newer than the 2010 Pioneer that was in it. Most of the work was already done with the 7 in Pioneer, just needed to wire up the harness for the Eonon. Great vids, looking forward to more.
woohoo!!! of the hundreds of hours a week i watch YT the SVT Lightning is not usually recommended! i met a family who had 5 in the family, I met them early in my career as a mortician. we had them lined up in front of the funeral home for his service and had a prestine example, race truck, his daily and everything in between. mad respect!
@@ChrisSullivan69 Slick for sure. Congrats. Question about the stereo. Do they have one that works in the cobras? Looks like that screen is glass? I wanna upgrade my old alpine touch to something with Apple/android that has a harder screen with minimal/no knobs
"We passed 17 Dollar Generals", lol. My wife and I were just thinking the same thing driving the Vette around rural Missouri last weekend. Love this channel, Chris is the anti-Bubba.
Beautiful purchase. I’m in south Jersey and that’s a far drive for me to Sarasota. I can imagine that drive all the way back up to New Hampshire will be a breeze from pure excitement of the Lightning
I rode with my cousin when he got a new one in 02'. And it had crazy handling on lower speed tight curves in town. I was waiting for the back to break loose.
I also have a 2002 Ford Lightning that I got in the Navy in 2009. I have had it ever since and replaced the motor after the intercooler pump quit while it was hot and it grenaded the motor.
Hell yeah.. Congrats on getting a lightning i had a sliver 01 a few years back and miss it. Wish i would have never sold it! But i do still have my dads gen 1 lightning! Sweet trucks for sure!
Hell yea I just love all the vehicles that u been getting lately. All of them are my favorite childhood cars and truck and I can't wait for what u have in store for us on that lightning. Keep up the great work my friend and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
nice FL outside ext paints def a good spot to buy cars for those of us from the northeast. bought my mustang in brooksville and drove it home to nh a few years back.
Hell yes! I’m familiar with these and JLP parts. I installed their cold air kit on my best friend’s 2001 Lightning. He gave me an H&K USP .45 and in exchange I bought him the JLP cold air and installed it. I won!
@ChrisSullivan69 hey thanks so much chris, i greatly appreciate it, great truck btw, my dad had a red one, it was kick ass and a whole lot of fun to drive! Much love from the bahamas 🇧🇸
Welcome to the Lighting truck club. Hey, my double din radio is trash, and I just yeeted that shit out and installed the original, so Ima check that radio you got out looks nice.
Finally you’re doing a truck build brother👍 great choice and nice find . I have a 10 second 2020 F150 crew cab so I’ve been waiting for you to do a truck build 😃Can’t wait to watch you do your transformation on this one , should be fun ! Im an hour away from Siesta , that area is super nice ! Enjoy!
I Grew up with Johnny , good dude and knows his stuff on these Trucks , whatever he did to it believe me it was done right You got a steal and a half 👍👍
Wow that's awesome Chris, for sure one of my bucket list of vehicles too have, awesome pickup, man did the owner spend some money on it. Can't wait to see what in store for it, safe travels bud.
Just went out to get some food, came back home to watch some youtube and I see this video. Good way to end Friday night! Keep up the great work dude! We have to see some more of that 69' cruising!
Man your content is so amazing I have a 02 lightning as well and I can wait to see what you do so I can get some ideas! Favorite content creator by far!
I’d pull that center seat and install a center console simply for the storage and the better cup holders and more sporty look. Good buy though. It really deserves to be given some good loving. It’s “CUSTOME” 😂😂
@@alexdavis6566 New to me, found a 2010 GT500 that’s lived its whole life in Texas (I’m from the rust belt). It’s really well maintained and cared for. My neighbors however will want to end me with this vehicles exhaust. 😂
god i've always loved the 2nd gen lightning. have to admit. im not a big fan of the later wheels likes on this one, the honeycomb grill and earlier wheels had a much better aesthetic imo.. beautiful truck bro congrats and cant wait to see what you have for us with this thing
I first saw the 2nd gen in a magazine back in 1998,I knew I wanted one. I finally bought a new red one in 01, I still have it and it only has 10k miles on it. Never driven in rain, and I only put about 1k on it in the last ten years.
sooooo badass cant wait to see more videos on this one! i've been wanting one of these since i was a kid, but theyre always high mileage and still very pricey! maybe some day
Traveling everywhere and still got a video out, my husband is so happy
🤝
The fact that you got a Vette Terminator AND a Lighting !!!!! Like bro got all the best badass rides !!! Pls never sell those 🙏🏽
Dude save some bad ass vehicles for the rest of us!!!😂😂
Can't stop wont stop!
He is saving them!
I shed a tear when the motor week clip came on.. Talk about nostalgic!!
NOSTALGIAH
I’ve purchased 3 Lightnings 2000 , 2002 & 93’ .. all flew out from Utah to Oklahoma , Michigan & Oregon best feeling when you see it in person ❤
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Bruh... the fact your old lady allows you to keep buying cars is incredible. Mine would murder me! You're a lucky man!
Better to ask forgiveness than permission lol
@@ChrisSullivan69 Note taken lol!
Bro it’s your money you guys are sad as hell lol she owns you
@@ChrisSullivan69makes sense
Sometimes we know better !@Termn8cobra
Cool new truck! Glad to see the family along. I remember your brother from the picnic table videos. Can't wait for more on that project.

I haven’t even watched it yet, just saw the title. I’ve been patiently waiting for it to land in your driveway !!!!!!!
Nice to see your genuine excitement over the lightening.
love the obscure trucks like this, and the Dodge Ram SRT 10, the early 2000s were the best time for trucks and SUVs
Preach
I love the passion in every vehicle you touch. Stoked for the future with this one!

Completely random note, but super cool, to see you’re in a pattern of Florida’s we visit every summer. Such a neat area!
You had us waiting all day bro! 🙌🏽
Worked as fast as I could lol
@@ChrisSullivan69 Slick for sure. Congrats.
Question about the stereo. Do they have one that works in the cobras? Looks like that screen is glass? I wanna upgrade my old alpine touch to something with Apple/android that has a harder screen with minimal/no knobs
This is the only way to do a family vacation. Cheers brother.
Wish i could take a few vacations like this 😅
"We passed 17 Dollar Generals", lol. My wife and I were just thinking the same thing driving the Vette around rural Missouri last weekend. Love this channel, Chris is the anti-Bubba.
It was 10 of us that watched the floating picnic table video! 🤣 Always wanted a SVT Lightning! WICKED cool!!! ⚡️😎
😁
I love a Chrome kenne bell on that lightning ❤
Love that ur into the cars of my era.. 90s to mid 2000s
Beautiful purchase. I’m in south Jersey and that’s a far drive for me to Sarasota. I can imagine that drive all the way back up to New Hampshire will be a breeze from pure excitement of the Lightning
Congrats on the new project man! Setting the example that hard work pays off 👊. Have a safe trip back, looking forward to future content
Hell yeah! You got a Ligthning finally😃This Is going to be a good one! I have a 2000 lightning my self here back in Norway! Keep up the good work
I rode with my cousin when he got a new one in 02'. And it had crazy handling on lower speed tight curves in town. I was waiting for the back to break loose.
Some guys have all the luck, what a steal! Congrats!
I also have a 2002 Ford Lightning that I got in the Navy in 2009. I have had it ever since and replaced the motor after the intercooler pump quit while it was hot and it grenaded the motor.
Fuuuuuck yeah! I had a Dark Shadow Gray Lightning. You are going to have some fun
Bad ass ride bro
Shes a Beaut Clark! great find! Looking forward to the exterior polish
This is awesome. I have an 04 and it's my baby. Can't wait to see what you do.
🤝
“Objects in mirror are losing” that’s a clean touch I might have to take that idea 👍🏻😂
You officially have my dream car pair with both the Cobra and Lightning! Can't wait to hear that thing rip brother!
Hell yeah.. Congrats on getting a lightning i had a sliver 01 a few years back and miss it. Wish i would have never sold it! But i do still have my dads gen 1 lightning! Sweet trucks for sure!

Cool truck Chris! Looking forward to more videos on this.
That's awesome bro!! I also had a 2001 black lightning, bought it brand new in 01.. i miss that truck, would love to buy another one

Real nice trucks. I just sold my 2001 Lightning. Those wheels are 01-02 only. 03-04 had their own as did 99-00.
As a lightning owner I’m loving the content alongside the cobra content
awesome Chris surely a bucket list truck I own 03 Terminator would be nice to add it to the collection wish you luck on the new project
Thanks 👍
Congrats man, that’s a nice one. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I always liked those and the Harley 4 doors.
You and me both!
Looks like the start of an awesome build, looking forward to it!
Thanks!
Can't wait to watch you PPF the interior and exterior of the lightning.
Gonna PPF the headers so they don't get scratches
@@ChrisSullivan69 Have to prevent those scratches so you can pull the PPF off 2 years later.. along with the paint under it
put ppf on your ppf so your ppf don't get scratched
Love the lighting looks great for the year! Hope you make it home!
Hell yeah, one of my favorite vehicles ever, so pumped for the content on this one!!!
🤙🤙
Awesome video man, how do you find your music?
Ive asked several youtubers this and never get a answer. If you find out lemme know please..and ill do the same.

Wheels are a must…… those regular donuts are too dang small for a vehicle of that stature.

Always liked those trucks. This one’s got a lot of potential 👍🏻 looking forward to seeing the Blue Cobra though all polished up and ready for summer 😁
You and me both!
One of my few dream trucks!! If I can get a Lightning\ TRX/ SRT 10 Ram I shouldn’t have to worry about truck spending for a lifetime lol
Hope you have a safe and carefree drive home .. Cool truck, I’ve always wanted to pick one up myself..
PS - Nice box cutter ! 🤣
I knew it Chris I knew you would buy one soon I commented that on one of your videos
sooooo badass cant wait to see more videos on this one! i've been wanting one of these since i was a kid, but theyre always high mileage and still very pricey! maybe some day
the sun tan looks good on you Chris..any plans to relocate to one of the best states in the Union? think of the benefit for your vehicles..
