Good thing it's not my daily driver...I don't even get 10mpg. My tires should be in about 4th grade now seeing that they are 9 years old. When it's time for new tires (soon) I'll probably go to a 16" wheel and stick with 35's. Maybe I'll check out those military hummer tires though. Decisions, decisions...

If you look at the picture of my truck you might notice a car seat in the back. My daughter is 3 and my goal is that she learns to drive it. The truck will be 40!

Here you go guys. I've been posting around a little but bought this truck two weeks ago. Hard to believe it's been that long. There are little things that need to be fixed but overall I love it and seems like a very solid truck. Some glass packs are going on soon!

That is a clean truck, but I do not understand the infatuation with glass packs. I understand the fact that they are cheap but that's it.

The exhaust note sounds good to me on a old truck more than say a flowmaster.

Yes, I have some and am open for affordable 35" options as 37s are a bit tall for everyday towing. Great for normal driving with occasional towing and regular offroad though.

Nice I will one day myself. Though my daughter is younger and my truck older.

Here's mine. I bought it back in December of last year. A 94 XLT 4.9/e4od. I've wanted a 4.9 truck for a long time and had never found the right one. As soon as I saw this one I had to get it.

They are good MUFFlers. That's all they do is muffle sound. They do not have a good exhaust sound at all.

Wow Chavist, that is a clean truck. Don't think I've ever seen that color combo before, but I really like it.
