I SOLD IT! Ford really let me down, the frame was rusting to pieces and the underside of the truck ripped off one day when I stepped on the side steps....not to mention everything mechanical started to break down once I hit 115,000 miles. The biggest blow was taking it to Carmax because the Ford dealership offered me $7,500

HELLO TOYOTA!



New Truck!

You are concerned with frame rust and you bought a Toyota?

Toyotas are rust buckets . . . But if you're happy, that's all that matters.

Had the joyous experience of changing ignition coils in an 18 degree garage since the truck started missing in cyls 1 and 8. Knew I should've done the COPs when I did the plugs. All is well now with the 5.4.

I like the Harley mod on the tails Kmac! Very nice man.

I can't remember when I started my truck. With the 10 degree weather we have had that means it won't start when I go to try it probably . Time to start bringing the battery inside the house. Salt on the roads now, so i'm inclined to keep the truck on lock down.

Thanks! I tried to do your YouTube video on the leaking one and snapped a corner off, so I just went and bought some haha.

Oh, that thing's staying on lockdown until spring haha.

Finally got back home a couple of days ago, but am just getting on the computer. This is the load, first picture taken at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The second picture was taken behind 30 miles of traffic on the I40 west right after the 84 to Las Vegas, New Mexico.





The drive was miserable, traveled 2,344 miles from Fort Bragg, North Carolina to Las Vegas, Nevada. But she held up really strong, the entire trip was a test of some of her capabilities. Man I love my truck! Except not she has an exhaust leak and the cup holder doesn't slide out anymore, lol.

I know how that drive is. I made the trip from Toledo, OH to Camp Pendleton, CA a few years ago with about 4,500 lbs of stuff in the bed and cab of mine. These trucks will take it without even breaking a sweat. I just recently made the trip from 29 Palms, CA to Camp Lejeune, NC by myself too. Got to love the military life! Lol

It's not on private, so creep away!

I bought them. I tried opening the stock ones up and destroyed one of them. It literally got hairline cracks every single time I put the screwdriver in, then a piece of a corner exploded off

Glad to see you post again! Got stuck in some traffic almost as bad as that in Ohio over the summer - not fun at all!
