motor and motor mounts, transmission, driveshaft rear end and all that good stuff if u want the 5.4l... maybe more.. i dont know

Well im gonna start working on it now. see what i can come up with.

Its sat now for awhile im gonna pull out all the plugs agian and and clean her up. Then install new plugs and wires. run some sea foam to clean her out.

It will run fine except theres on cyclinder that knocks. Hopefully i cant get it fixed.

Any way yes i had fun. And Dirtbound we were heading out to the main hole but Jon couldnt get his truck though the small trees there after the washout.

Raancho was definitely flooded more than i have ever seen!

the black F150 is minimonster13's truck. I has a 3" Body Lift and 35" BFG TA KO's

and yes i did hit that hole pretty fast. as of right now its looking like i have a dead cylinder. hope to get it revived.

Im about to take it off the trailer.

I made it though the wash out but i didnt know if he could. cause it was deep where i went though and my TSL's helped alot in traction terms compaired to the BGF TA KO's.

That hole (I'm going to call it "80mph hole") ain't the "wash out". The good thing about "wash out" is it has a hard bottom
