I'm a Landscaper by trade, so I do alot of towing, stump/plant pulling, and pulling out the 2WD 1-Tons. The stump below was rotten, but still stout enough to prevent the Bobcat from getting it out, but I was able to idle it out. The picture with the 1-Ton Cheyenne in the background has a long story with it. While collecting bales, it got a little overloaded with a full bed and trailer and the entire truck and trailer sunk into the soft soil. I would love to say I hooked up a chain and pulled them out, but I couldn't get enough traction to do so. Eventually we had to unhook the trailer so I could pull out the truck then go back into the Cheyenne's ruts and pull out the trailer. It ended up turning a 2 hour job into an all day job. Lets see some of the stuff you all have done, I'm interested to see exactly what our trucks go through.

 

 

We dont wanna see those ugly, new fangled trucks in here mercedes...go back to your own forum...

 

Sorry... didn't even see where it was ! I just click on "new post" and go from there. I will take my REAL truck pics out, so yall don't have to be embarrassed and feel inadequate

 

Ouch! Newer body envy...

 

haha you have NO idea how dead on that statement is....

 

haha put em back man...i was just giving you chit

 

I do the same thing.
I've been kicked out of the Lightning Forum, the King Ranch Forum and the 2004 Forum more times than I can count.

Anyway here is my '99


They may look like a bunch of leaves but, it is actually a solid bronze sculpture entitled 'Chunk of Autumn'.
It was being transported by an '04 Ford when the frame gave way and my truck had to step in. Incredible but true.

 

I use mine as a daily driver. I bought it to move from Chicago to Joplin - hauling stuff and towing a utility trailer. Now that I'm moved, I don't really need a truck any more, but it does come in handy occasionally for Lowe's runs and hauling brush to the dump. I'd get rid of it except for the following factors:

1. I *LIKE* driving it. I like sitting up higher than in a car, and the driving position is more comfortable.

2. It's nice to have for those times where a truck is handy.

3. Resale value is terrible and it doesn't need any work and it's paid for.

4. I can afford the gas.

 

I know man, but I still looked like a jackass postin pics in here !


Odd.... I have a similiar story, but the other way around. Seems I'm always "steppin in" for those wimpy older generation Fords !

Also, I dig that "custom" rain coat you got for the front ! Pretty sweet.

 

I have the dreaded rearslider leak, the notorious passenger/driver window leak and the infamous windshield leak.

I said screw it, I ain't paying.

 

I use it for work im a pipe fitter so i transport pipe threaders, air compressors and all of my tools.

on the weekends ill move anything i want, just this weekend i moved a 6 piece bedroom set to goodwill in one trip it put a smile on my face.

gas sucks but owell.

 

...and yet you guys help keep it alive.

 

+1. I love being able to see over almost every car on the road. Major advantage on the freeway when you can see traffic slowing down way ahead of you

 

i use my truck as a DD, and any odd things i have to do with my truck. pulling cars out at the beach, lowes trips, fourwheelers, helping people move, blah blah blah. my mom drives a mercedes so when it floods and my stepdad wont give up his truck, i have to drive her places.



raoul i love your truck, and i have since i joined last year. isnt is a regular cab lariat, and a 5.4?
