I'm not sure what you mean. I traded it in for the F250 almost a year ago March. The pics look nice but it needed work. I could smell anti freeze whenever I drove it, the fuel tank leaked, the quarters were rotting away, and it had been in a couple of accidents. I was looking for a new job and I wanted a dependable truck and the Bronc had been my Good truck. I found the F250 and fell in love. It's what I really wanted when I started college. I would have kept and fixed it but the driveways getting smaller it seems.

I see then that you are past the honeymoon period with your love.

I hope your marriage lasts and doesn't fall apart.

Thanks for the story.

Yes and please keep us posted on your project.....

Nice trucks Brian.

What has been your experience with running the over sized tires in regard to the longevity of the suspension, steering gear, axles and such?

thanks bud!! i honestly never really had any major issues all i can say is keep everything maintained and check everything alot more than ussual when running lifts and big tires just to be safe!! as far as axles go no probleems there i have 4.10 gears and a locker in the rear the only thing i am changing is i rebuilt a ford 9" rearend with a disc brake conversion oh i almost forgot i always have afew universal's on hand lol they tend to go every now and then but like i said all in all i have had no major problems but steering stabalizers are a must when running such big tires and 12" of lift

Hmm...I can't say that I remember seeing that truck specifically. It's certainly a good possibility. I will keep my eyes open for one. You can recognize my truck without too much of a problem. I also have the CT Chapter ford sticker on my back window.

Here are a few shots of my truck at work plowing in the winter:

2006 F250 Super Cab Lariat
20" Harley wheels wrapped with 35" Dick Cepek FC II's
Daystar leveling kit with F350 rear blocks
8.5' Fisher MM2 plow

You can see some of the hideaway whelen strobes behind the grille in a few of the pics...
