I'd take off the wheels and clean everything real good as well as getting the rear end fluid replaced without a doubt. Set out a sprinkler to soak the undercarriage and than go at it with the pressure washer.

Damn!

Couldn't you find somebody a little bit closer to install a lift?

WestVaco would burn you at the stake if they still owned that ground.

(I'm assuming that's where it is given the tree planting)

If not part of the new Fed. WMA... in which case they will still burn you at the stake.

Boy it was a pain in the *** cleanin the underside of the truck. Mud was caked in every single little crack.

I just found out my high beams do not work now. I guess I'm just gonna have to get me an old Hi Boy to take out in the mud.

I am probably gonna have to change gears eventually, but I'm gonna stick an Edge and a Volant on there for now and see what happens.

These pictures are for you Josiah. It was pretty wet and it was raining so most of the mud washed off, but you would have been proud to see someone else puttin these Mud Grapplers to use. I don't have a video camera but I'll try and get one sometime and put a video on here.

..... snip
why are you sorry for getting the Hulks/Mud Grapplers. Poor performance, too much noise, etc?????

I think there's a yellow truck on here with em as well. Maybe you're right though and it just seems like everyone either has Hulks or Moto Metals.

I really like them (Moto Metals and Hulks)and thought hard about getting either too. In the end, I just sorta blindly chose the ones I did... I originally had my heart set on the Helo Maxx's, then I saw them on and hmm, not so much

I agree it is probably because they look good and so far are proven... no one around here has a truck like mine.. I've seen another F150 with a 6" Fabtech and a 3" bodylift, but other than that... zip, zero, zilch!!! and the only reason I saw that one is the shop owner asked him to bring it by!!!!

It's nice to be different.... left outta the gate this evening and realized as soon as I crossed past the guard shack, *****, my ID's on my desk... quick U-turn and when I pulled up to the gate and asked sweetly if I can run back to clinic for my ID and the guy starts to say no, another guard says oh hey ma'am, truck's lookin' good I remember you from this mornin'... let her thru!!! the other guy was like ok, I don't remember u I was checkin' out the Nitto's!!
