The little thingy said to introduce myself...so here it is:

My old man bought a '98 F-150 Lariat xtra cab (basically every option sans 4wd, the 5.4, and fog lamps) in '99 as a demo model....

He gave it to me for a steal when I got back from Iraq (I had to pay off $2500 in student loans...) with 179k on the ticker.....in the past month I've hit almost 184k and still runs great (and gets as good mileage as my 93 Wrangler!)

Since '87 my dad has always had Ford Trucks, and my first vehicle was a '90 Ranger...

I have a few plans...mainly the stero system I'm piecing together (couldn't really do much in my Jeep with no top....) complete with video and all that stuff...maybe even an on board computer...

Otherwise intake and exhaust, maybe a few inch lift and some BFGoodrich tires when the kellys that are on it are done...

Personal info:
Student/Marine from Chicago. Testing for Fire and Police now that I am back , going to try to work full time while I finish my degree. I play rugby, ride my motorcycle (honda right now...working on the Harley funds....), jetski and boat during the summer....and drink all year round!

That's it...

Salud,
AJ

oh yea, my handle....it's nickname from a few years ago in the desert....long story....
