I saw post #1 and immediately thought of that dip**** and his poor truck


there was a picture of his truck with the errant run-away tire laying nearby. can't find it anymore. that is probably the worst you'll see a 04+ F-150 looking

 

He beat the absolute t-total hell out of that truck! I think he even primered it before it was all over. He ended up selling it and buying an old 70's F250. Poor guy didn't realize that you can't hardcore offroad in an F150 with only a lift. He was constantly breaking stuff.

 

The sad part is you could totally clean it up and morgan's truck could be any used F-150. Makes me glad I bought mine new.

 

 

yep...and that is why I don't buy used trucks anymore. my last one was a 1994 F-150. I found out after the fact the guy had welded a Class V hitch to the frame and the bed had been removed. I found cut welds above the axle where a 5th wheel hitch would have been welded down. it also had some serious heavy duty AAL springs installed.

externally looked great though. and passed all of the surface "What the hell did he do to it?" checks.





really wish I still had that picture of morgans truck without the tire.

 

Not an F-150 but was a rough truck, beast would go ANYWHERE

 

I hit a big bird going 70 and got my truck full of guts and feathers

 

You said "Rat-Rod"....

These are pictures from an Easter car show, last year maybe?









A little different than our Buffed and chromed money pits!


I'll add a little F-150 Content for you guys.
This one was at the same show, I wish I could talked to the owner,
this is by far one of my favorite F-150's ever.





Hella negative camber!



Who needs ground clearance!



Yay, a chance to ***** pictures out...

 

That one dude with the blue single cab STX 4.6 with rize lift and 37s was even worse. That poor truck went through multiple engines because he took it in water well over the hood. I saw it for sale online...I've never seen tires that cupped. I think Dirtbound was his user name but not sure.

 

I have had two new vehicles, two used vehicles, and one used vehicle that my Dad bought new and gave to me when I turned 16. My second used vehicle had countless problems, like it was fully abused.

 

I do alot of detail work for a construction co., that has a fleet of F-150's ,350's,450's,550's with 200-300K hard miles! I will try to get some pics!

 

i have rock chips, bird crap, lots of road mud and raccoon blood on the bumper, tires, rims and somehow on the rear bumper.

Got the truck 9 months ago and so far I think I blew 2 struts, and have to tighten all the interior panels now. Damn gravel roads and spring conditions.

 

A real rough truck, look at my damn rake.

 

In December of 2008, I purchased a loaded 08 F150 Supercrew 4x4 that was wrecked hard in the front and has differing amounts of damage to all other body panels except the Tailgate. I got it with 12K miles and replaced (and painted) the entire front clip. I bought it for 9,000 and spent less than a grand shipping and for parts and paint. It was Built in April of 09 and wrecked in September or October 09. I have about 28,000 perfectly trouble free miles on it now and it has been great. People who I meet either think that I am a idiot or that it was a great deal. It stickered for 37,000. I and was able to pay cash for it by selling another vehicle. So I ended up with a basically new truck with no payments. I have no plans to fix any of it.
