im going with all OEM parts. i didnt want too dump alot of money into it when i plan to rip everything out.

You never answered the PM you never answered it but its really a MUTE point right now. I took alook at the ranger and they wanted 6k for it and it wasnt even setup the right way. It had a 1' block in the rear, whats with that....

Sure here it is doing some hill climbing. To most of you, the hills may not look that difficult but trust me when I say they are as you (Josiah) would understand. Don't forget to watch in high quality.

muddin' is just about having lift, and being able to throttle through. it is a lot of fun, though. i agree that trails are more challenging, and require more of one's attention span. i've started to take a chain saw to hack things out of the way.

my truck has acquired some battle scars, a section of the cab pillar near the bottom has had a scratch down to the primer, the gas tank skid plate has some deep scratches on it, and i messed up a rotor and brake caliper offroad once.

in my opinion, a person taking a stock truck offroad on 32's is using their truck in a more purposeful way then the guy who has 35's on 6'', and uses it as a mall crawler.
x2!!!!! I used to offroad all the time in my mom's stock 98 expy - my dad eventually gave it to me, but then bought me the f150 as a graduation/birthday/getting into college/Christmas/anything else he could think gift for the rest of my life... lol

Hmm It's nice that your parents have given you at least 2 vehicles. I started to wish I had generous parents too, but then how could I have learned to triumphantly earn my way to the zenith. You lucky you were born with the golden spoon in you mouth, don't take it for granted.

yeah, I'm really thankful I was given the F150. And I was really thankful I had the expy too... but the expy's 4wd didn't work when it was given to me, and i had to get pulled out many times... and dug down over my muffler one time on the beach.

Now about that golden spoon in my mouth... Never had one of those... my grandad used to run a radio station after he got out of the army, and then my dad was the first one to make it all the way thru college... and he worked his rear off to support our family... we've had our hard times, don't get me wrong, and we're really careful about what we do w/ out money... Now I know you're gonna look at my photos and say Im an idiot for doing that in my truck, but I always try to be careful where I go, and not damage anything... plus he knew I love going offroad, and that's one reason he got me the FX4 package.... I just wanted to clear up... I had a stainless steel spoon w/ some water marks on it... no golden spoon here.
