Talking howdy!

well lets see what can I tell you about my self. i started out with mustangs. went to Jeeps built a few Jeeps founded one of the largest Jeep clubs in GA. switched over to Hummers (real ones not the H2/3's) had a fling with Unimogs. then went a totally different direction and started playing with Mini's had a 71 02 05 but missed playing in the mud. so after debating for a LONG time I decided i had enough of the Jeeps and i had done the "big boys" so i went with a 1998 Ford F150 XLT 4X4 step side 3 door! it was green but has been repainted black. its an OK job couple of places like sides of hood showing green but not too big a deal.

It has 117k on it and was well taken care of. receipts for most work/maintenance. regular fluid changes etc. I THINK it has a lift but im not sure. i do know it is running 315/70r17's suspension feels a bit "soft" but i have nothing to compare it to.

(edit: fixed pics)

well I have been going over it. seems it does not have any lift. I am thinking for now (due to cost) going down to a 33" tire. it is very clean under the truck. light dust no big mud clumps (maybe thats just me use to the Jeeps) engine/trans/xfer looking good no leaking fluids look great. rear diff is a bit "gooey" on the outside but is expected at 117k I am replacing all fluids (except trans as i have the receipt it was done 3 weeks ago and looks clean)





sorry if the pics are a bit big.

Welcome to the Forum Andy! The pics didn't show up (too large?). Anyway, if you get smaller pics, post 'em up so we can see what you are driving. All the best to you!
