I figured it was about time I post up the hell my truck has been through and where I hope for it to go. I bought the truck from my dad two years ago. Basically:
1999 F150 4x4 Ext. Cab Short Bed
5.4L V8 Engine
Offroad package (shocks, skidplate, small lift)
Magnaflow exhaust system
We used the truck mainly to haul gear and a 4-wheeler to and from the ranch in Junction as well as to carry corn to the deer stands. We also used to wheel it out there on the rocks and hills and creekbeds. I'm not going to use this as my trail rig, just to make it a nice DD and still be able to wheel it over the weekend if I want to.
Here's how she used to look:
After some wheeling and whatnot she kinda got beat to hell and I figured I'd take this as an opportunity to make her nice and still wheel pretty well.
