So been havin some fun with somebody who is tryin to **** me off. First somebody aired down the tires on my Chevy Colorado, then somebody loosened the bleeder screws on 3 of the brakes on my 88 F150 took it for a drive and no brakes! After that dad and I were taking his bronco to go make a payment on my Colorado and it just died but it sounded like it was bogged down as he was driving it. Figured fuel pump was weak. Well turns out somebody pulled the line off then bumps on the road knocked it completely off.
Whomever is doing this is messing with the vehicles that I have been driving to work. Pretty sure it is my new neighbors (drugies) because the only 2 trucks I have driven to work before they were here was my mom's envoy and the 92 F150 and nobody has touched those but dad's bronco, my 88, and my Colorado I have driven ever since they moved in. We ended up setting up a hunting camera where I park those 3 trucks so we shall see.

I hope you catch the b@$turdz that are doing this... If they were on my property and I caught them, well, lets just say that they might end up with lead poisoning...

Already talked to a few good buddies who are retired police officers and the whole issue is that there is nobody to go after right now.

can i get some opinions from yall? im in az also. i live in prescott. going up the 260 towards payson or going up the 17 from cottonwood to prescott in my 94 f350 with a 460 and 4.11 stock gears and 315-70-17 tires loaded with a jeep cj (3000 lbs of jeep on a trailer that weighs ~2000 and a lance that also weighs ~1900 lbs the truck is a damn dog. no power. like 20 - 25 mph up hill. im thinking of putting in 4.88's or 5.13s. am i crazy?
should i sell the thing and get a diesel. or sell the 35" tires and run factory size?
whenever the truck moves its got the camper and the jeep behind it. always.
thanks for any opinions.
