Well, 2 snowstorms later, I havent gotten stuck yet!!

one bad pucker moment-Ive never driven a stick in the snow, and stupidly downshifted to 3rd, throwing off the balance and started swinging the *** around. sawed the wheel to full lock both directions before getting it back in line. otherwise good! but black ice parking lot, bad!

and check out my awesome ground clearance in less than 2" of snow!

not to be a dick or anything, but that truck will suck for fuel mileage. my 06 F150 with 5.4 gets 17mpg on the highway. with a 3/4 ton youll be in the 13-14mpg range, if not lower.

nice truck either way. love the color.

I figured 13-15, far cry from my 04, but gas is $0.70 a gallon cheaper and no more $150 oil changes, Istill need a truck though and didn't buy it for fuel economy

plus this has potential to look quite sweet...


Some cafe racer bars, spoked wheels, bump the compression up to 9:1 from 7:1...
Only if you make a bucket helmet like Jeremy.

On the topic of mopeds...

that black one had a fried engine

found a minty one, seller dropped off the face of the earth the day of the deal

found another, but needs a new rear wheel, seat, sidercovers, etc

either gonna wait (rather have winter to work out the bugs), or buy one I found that needs trim work, an exhaust pipe, and the headlight rewired
