New to Ford, bought a 96 150XLT Lariat manual. Testing the water...anyone dig crazy chicks with a truck that wants to offroad like a mad man?. So far my truck is stock but I plan to get another one and jack the ballz off 'er and it will be a 4x4 with a minimum of 38" mudders. I will get some pic's up in a few days when I finish fixing it and can move it.

 

Howdy and welcome Demonz454bb, Hmmmmmmmm crazy chick that wants to offroad like a madman nope don't beleive anyone around here would be interested. LMAO!!

Thanks for the welcome. I plan to rape the forum for info and make my truck(s) meaner than the driver, lol.

 

You must be mad. You have a 96 Ford, yet use 454 in your name??? Just ribbing ya, welcome to the board.

 

LOL, just a little crazy...lol. I use 1 screen name for several forums but the reason being I chose Demon and 454bb is because i will have a big bad Demon carb and a 454bb in my Iroc...I'de like the 572 but money doesn't grow on my trees, lol. But if you feel the need to rip on me...how about I 454 power my Ford....lol. This is a pretty calm forum, and established forum with good people minus a few I will comment on in the appropriate thread, but...if your up for some friendly trash ripping...I'm game baby, lol.

 

And thanks for the welcome.

 

96 is a good year! what engine 5.8 or 5.0?

 

I've been told the 4.9. I'm a biot confused though, on the side of the fender it says F 150XL and underneath that it says XLT Lariat. I don't know what the hell I have other than a 150, lol.

 

OHH you have the sixer ,good engine,not a power house but very dependable,if you are going to put a lift and tires on it I would look into a better tranny ,the original 5 speeds are not to strong,if it,s a lariat it should say on the top of the glove box in the cab

 

Ya, it's just the 6, but it was only $1400, lol. I would like to throw this truck to the mud and see how it comes out but I will get another one to play with and get retarded on. On the dash it says xl and has an xlt emblem what looks to be glued on, lol, I don't know. I should have the truck fixed today and plan to get some pic's up.
