it has been accomplished. bought my 2001 F150 4x4 4.6L in november 2007 with 128k miles, now march 2011 i am at 228k.

during those miles, only been in the shop once for a blown spark plug. engine and transmission is stock, and still with the original o2 sensors and maf, with my 87 performance tune i can average 17mpg with "spirited" driving and towing.

today i was able to celebrate 100k by towing 2,000lbs from one side of houston to the other. had about 10 boxes that weighed in at 406lbs and a pallet with 6 - 12" 280's (BIG *** metal flanges) that weighed 1507lbs, my tires were bulging like no other!

 

 

It's not over loaded until the tires pop or the receiver touches the ground

 

my tires were bulging! you can see in one of the pictures where it's bulging right at the bottom. i'm am very sure my bumpstops were fully compressed against the axle that whole trip!

 

...and that bad boy is from TEXAS ! ! !

Congrats. I hope mine does the same.

 

I'm really glad my truck doesn't drag *** from 2000lbs...

Congrats on the mileage. Mine still has a few years til I've had it for 100K (be at 195K then).

 

Seeing that pic, I initially thought "Holy riding the bump stops!!!", then I realized your truck is lowered and doesn't sit up all that much higher normally.

Congrats on your 100k milestone.

 

hey that looks like my truck. if your not on the bump stops you still got a couple 1,000 lbs to add. make sure your tires are inflated to pretty much the max PSI when you got alot in the bed.

Congrats on the 100K

 

Congrats! I hope those aren't P rated tires

 

lol, i've been thinking about getting helper bags in the rear, already have onboard air.
yeah, a lowered 4x4! its a good 6-7" lower from when it was stock (just put on lightning leafs today that gave me about 1-2" more drop.
when i was at stock height, i had a good 2 truck loads of dirt in the bed that i used to fill up our backyard, had to have been 2500lbs at least! i was on bump stops then too! and that was with 4+" of wheel well gap.
general grabber p255/70/16 @ 35psi
they've seen 125mph a few times ahahahaha

 

Nice. Truck is extreamly clean. Wonder whats gonna be in it the next trip?

 

Congrats! Less than 1,000 and my truck will be in the actual 100,000 mile club.

 

90k more and I will have put 100k on mine

Here's to 100k more
