Back to winter

Well looks like our nice weather is gone for awhile. Back to the artic circle again. Kind off slap in the face after the last few days off nice temps. Oh 05 Supercrew seen one off your trailers on the road the other day just happened to notice the decal on it. Hope you got that big order under control. With all this bad weather Im sure its taking a toll on everything including trailers. Trailer sales should be good for quite some time. JD hows that truck off your doing? Hope she is running well.. Stay warm guys

Ya we have a few trailers that run around here pretty consistently. We are slowly getting things figured out.

And this cold snap does not make things fun that is for sure. Staying warm is virtually impossible in this state but it sure is a nice thought

No kidding it's quite chilly out there this morning. I need some new glow plugs for the 7.3. We put the new fuel pump in this past Saturday at work and tested the glow plugs because unless the block heater is plugged in, when it's cold it smokes quite a bit until it warms up. Found out only 50% of the glow plugs are working! The other 50% are dead. So now it is time to pull the valve covers and just replace all 8 glow plugs. At least they are cheap parts. I migh re-ring the injectors while the valve covers are off too - just to know it's been done and they aren't leaking too. Otherwise I'm still really enjoying the truck. Hoping to get the windows tinted next in a few weeks.

So I'm looking for another 2004-2008 F150, TONIGHT WAS IT! I'm sick of my damn mustang gt already, yeah I know winter's almost over and once summer comes I'm gonna regret selling it, but oh well. I LIVE IN NEBRASKA, it does rain and snow. I was going around a corner tonight and decided to step on it a little bit it went sideways twice then into a 2 foot tall snow bank full of soft snow and then my dad in his 2008 F150 4x4 had to come yank me out with a chain, HMM SIGN FROM GOD? I think so.

I had a 97 f150 4x4, sold it for a 2002 mustang gt, then traded that for my 2005 f150 4x4, then traded that for my 2004 mustang gt, see a pattern lol?

I'm unemployed now, but once I find a steady job, I'm getting back into a truck again, a ford only too.

I'm looking for a 2004-2008 F150 4x4

Grey or Black cloth inteior OR black leather interior
crewcab, short box 5.5 foot bed
under 80,000 miles
5.4L V8, automatic obviously
I really would prefer Black, Silver, or Redfire(dark red), no two tones
4 wheel drive on the ****, not on the floor.
factory cd player/radio. split bench, the center part flips up
fog lights would be greatly appreciated
has to have power windows, power locks, doesn't have to have power seats, so probably an XLT, FX4, or Lariat.

I really want to find a lifted one 6" to 8" suspension lift with 35" or 37" tires (gonna be impossible to find around here I think, I've searched and searched)




The reason I was so specific is because I know Ty works at anderson ford incase something like this would come into the lot, post it up on here. I found 1 2007 redfire f150 at rusty eck ford, with some gay chrome wheels on it, but the truck is clean with low miles, but I can't stand those damn rusty eck radio commercials lol. Well sorry for the novel, but I had to b*tch about it to someone.

2005-

You are almost as bad as I am too. But now I have both a car and a truck, although my car is a pos escort - just gets me to work and back getting 35 mpg.

There are plenty of trucks to choose from. Don't be afraid of the 00-03 body styles either like my last white truck. They are very nice trucks as well.

Ya driving was terrible yesterday it took 2 hours to get home from Omaha yesterday.


And on a side note I don't know if any of you know what a Five Guys burger is but they have one up in Omaha now on 132nd and Dodge.

It is probably my favorite place to get a burger.

Yes they have amazing burgers!! Got held up again on the interstate today on the way to work from another accident. Saw a carfire Saturday, got diverted Sunday and was slowed down today. Haven't had the best of luck driving on 80 lately
