Desert trucks don't run them.

 

yep, those little 'yota's do work awesome, I miss mine...

 

79F350,
most desert trucks don't run tailgate's do to the "race-look". But function also follows form, usually it's easier to access gear like spare tires or jacks or the cooler! I also did not like my bed and tailgate rattleing, so pulling of the 'gate and adding bed side support bars keeps the noise level down, and stiffens up the bedsides to keep them from sagging inboard. Rear visibility is also improved.

 

Hey hippy jr you might want to go grab a august issue of Petersons 4wheel &offroad. your truck is on page 27 bottom right hand corner. Looks like they snapped the pic at a ford show.

 

I'll keep my eye's open Red Neck Sr.

 

cheeto, thanks man for the info, the wife and kids think it's kool that the 'Hauler got a picture in a mag. Now go have someone hug you for me...

 

Steve will be out this way in Oct he can bring a hug from you. On your travels keep an eye out for a set of F-350 emblems for me. I need the ones that go on the cowl.

 

will-do. I'll be lookin'.

 

I ain't huggin your redneckedness!

I may be able to help on the badges though. As I've told you before - Ed has a few lying around...

 

Hauler,

you must have had some subconcisous influence on me and have become my internet truck mentor...Originally i owned a highboy, but now ive got a hot 2wd which will eventually get lifted, and a stupid duty. What a sweet sickness to have! (this is a dealer shot, the truck will be actually to me friday morning.)

 

NICE rig! That a V10? dig that color! give us some specs! did you sell the 4x? you inherit the 2x from you pops?!? sweet and expensive sickness, eh??

 

Sir,

4x stayed in the in family. 2x was purchased from Bullitt390 here on this forum, and it runs like a raped ape.

super duty - 2008 FX4 23k on the clock - 5.4 - 3.73's. Its going to be my DD and only see occassional towing, so Im hoping to get away with the 5.4 and 3.73's, but i may be regearing it to 4.10s or 4.30s.

 

nice! I dig my super duty, too. OK, now we need some pic's of the 2x!

 

As requested,

Highboy and 2x before my dad towed the highboy to his place.

 

wow, dig that 2x! Those stealeis happen to be one of my favorite stock wheels. They look cool with either stock tires or offroad-style meats. Whats under the hood?
