Hi again. I just wanted to let you all know that I got the truck. Drove it the 150 miles back home last night and it did great. Lots of power and very tight while going down the road. I think I'll love this thing. Thanks for the guidance!

Awesome! congrats on the new truck. Let the modding begin!! unless you like money in your pocket you should run away from here fast. Only return if you have a problem and don't stay long! we can spend other people money like it going out of style! So what do you want to buy first, intake, exhaust, gauges, big tires, loud radio, Oh I know you need BTS tranny to start with. to hold all that power on those injectors, intake, exhaust, guages and monster chip you are going to buy next week! there I have now spent your lifes saving for you. that was easy!!

Then your going to need new tires, (burned the olds off with all of the new power from the mods tj listed), new paint job, stacks, Ranch Hand bumpers, winch, more new tires (just finished burning off the other set) new upholstery, radio, grab handles, block heater connection in the bumper (no more trying to find the cord) more new tires, lift kit, etc. etc. etc.

Then your goin to need a BDP stealth fuel and oil pump system cause your gonna upgrade to stage 3 injects. Then your gonna need a new turbo after you fried the first one with all that power, plus you'll need an intercooler from ATS to keep that motor and new turbinator cool while your burnin those tires off. Another new set of tires(cause you roached the last set you bought when you threw in those bigger-big injects) The list goes on and on. Glad to hear you got the truck. Like Tim-bob said, let the PMS begin, lol

I always need someone to spend my money.
Yep, wifey knows, I even had her blessing to buy it. She did give me a warning though. She doesn't want me to start upgrading like the last truck. With my last one, it was a 73 F100, 360, 4WD, before I knew it I was doing a power steering conversion, 10:1 390, and other upgrades. Got about $8000 into a truck. Never see that $$$ again. Its all a part of the fun though.
We took it out last night and she drove a little. She was cute, just over five feet tall and barely over 100 lbs driving a big ole pickup.

Be careful, Grasshopper.
A word to the wise.... Don't ever let her drive it again!!!!!!!!!! If she finds out how much fun you're going to be having while driving she will never let you go anywhere again. She'll just keep you home doing the dishes and she'll be driving YOUR truck all over the place all the time. Everytime you turn around at the kitchen sink she'll be gone and then when she eventually gets back home, she'll just say that she had to run up to the store to get more dish soap.
