Rowdy's 2003 Ford F-250 XLT 4x4

[JoeyGowdy]

I sold my 1999 F-150 v8 Lariat 4x4 (285k miles) for $6,500 and bought a 2003 F-250 v10 XLT 4x4 (160k miles) for $7,500 with a 12" Skyjacker Lift Kit and 44" wheels/tires... just waiting to get it transported from Tifton GA to Hickory Flat MS via uShip.com just wondering if yall thought that was a good upgrade for the price and all.

I found a guy at a tire company that will order a set of 42x15 TSL Bias tires and mount them on the 12x16.5 rims as an even trade for one of our E-Z-Go gas utility golf carts. Loaded them up and dropped them off at his store, should be ready to pickup by Monday... woohoo!




The Bearcat 350A Scanner and Cobra 29LTD Classic CB arrived today... mounted them:

We picked up the 42x15x16.5 tires yesterday and tossed them on... yeehaw!!

[JoeyGowdy]

It turned out better than I thought - full turn both sides no rubbing, 96 miles by 12 gallons (25 gal tank), barely hear the tires sing, right-rear has a bad lump or needs a tire shaving or something and will be replaced tomorrow (looks & feels like this at 40 mph).

Great looking truck mate, love the tires, although I would prefer a different engine like maybe a powerstroke cause I don't care much for the v10 but other than that I would have definately bought that beast for $8,000 without even having drove it! How come I can't find deals like that? :P

that truck is awesome i saw the videos of it on youtube and that was a great deal you got on it too.
