Just wanted to drop in and say hello.

Here is what made me want to join this forum:



That's mine! That pic is about 8 months old.

'99 F-150. 4.2 V6, 5 speed manual. Got some minor cosmetic damage to places, but I'll be fixing that soon.

This truck has been through a lot. It's just a few hundred away from the big 100K mile mark. The only addon I've bought is a radio. At about 92K miles, the clutch went out, which was replaced. Only two bad things about it: Not 4WD and no cruise control.

Right now, I'm in the process of replacing the fuel pump. It went out on me about 2 weeks ago and I haven't got around to fixing it. I usually work long hours that make it impossible for me to do anything outside of work, which really sucks.

But, about me. Graduated from a technical school in 2009 with a degree in Computer System Software and Application Support (the long name for just simply: Computer Repair.) I consider myself a jack of all trades. I also believe I've mastered a few. Computers especially.

I work for US Foodservice as an order selector. Best job I've ever held, and also the highest paying.

I look forward to hearing from everyone. I'm open to suggestions about what to do to that truck. I'm thinking about putting a brush guard on it. The next project, however, is new speakers. I just cant seem to figure the door panels out...

 

Holy good God large photo, welcome to the site!

 

That's a large photo? Lol. It was 4000 by 3000 before I cropped it.

 

welcome to the forum!! what direction do you want to go with it? lift or lower it?

 

I haven't been wanting to do either, really. I've thought about lowering it some, but I've just never felt the need to do anything with the height.

 

Were you standing the next county when you that pic?

 

well i was asking if you were going for the street look or the offroad look.

 

In all actuality, I was standing in a different city. If I remember correctly, the city park (where I took that picture) is right on the line.

And str8t six, I'm more of a street person. I've tried taking that truck off road, and trust me, it wasn't a pretty sight. I liked gettin it dirty, but I didn't like the fact I had to get it towed out...

 

Welcome! That's one big a$$ truck, I mean Pic you have there.
You can get a set of 2 inch drop Shackles for the back that will level the truck.
They cost about $50. I personally just like the looks when they sit level.
It seem most people want to raise the trucks, but I like the street look better

 

Welcome!

 

 

 

welcome!


door panels are a cinch, yours should be very similar to mine

Welcome! What's the origin of your name? I also fly the sims quite often when I dont have the $$$ to go up IRL.

 

Patman, I don't have power windows, but man, that does look easy! I think I found out what I was doing wrong.

Raptor - I'm pretty big on flight sims, of course, lol. FSX especially.
