New(er) Owner.

Hello all. Im new to the site and figured id post up what I purchased back in the summer. 2000 F-250 Gasser. It has the small 5.4L but does the job for me. (If I had a choice it would def. be a PSD) Its mostly stock besides the lift and wheels/tires. Clean interior, but no so pretty exterior. Truck is rough on the outside but has just a hair over 200k on it. Right now im over seas and dont have it

But I still like to share.

Future plans:
Getting the rust fixed
Seat covers
Cat-Back system (probably Gibson)
Different lift (6" to a 8")
40's
gears
Take the louvers of the window and tail lights.

Purpose of the truck:
Occasional trail riding
Hunting
Haul small loads (i.e.-cars)
Everyday driver

Thanks, I'm having problems finding my short bed. My bed is beyond salvageable unless I go with the 5" bush wacker flares, which I dont like the looks and I also think by the time I get the flares I would be half way to getting a bed price wise. It sucks because my work truck is a 7.3L PSD and a 6.0L PSD. So I have gotten spoiled over the past few years of driving those.

Picture of it in action. I def. need gears and some better tires. This was a "one" time event because I hate water, would rather be on the trails or fields. But when you have to go scout locations for the deer, there's only one way to get there.
