New guy here

Hello everyone. I've peaked around this board once in a great while and decided to finally sign up today. First off my name is Jim and I live in Waterloo, Iowa. I have 2 Ford trucks right now. I've had my 2003 F150 extended cab long box 4x4 XLT for a little over 2 years now. It's stock except for a K&N air filter, 3" body life, 2" suspension lift, and dual exhaust. (side note, it's for sale).

Then this week I picked up a 1999 F250 Super Duty extended cab long box 4x4 from the dealership I work for, for $3500. It had a blown out plug, but after a few hours of hard work and the correct insert tool it's up and running. No big plans for it right since I need to get rid of the F150 first.

Well I hope to learn something, and have some fun and meet some of you guys someday. I hang out a lot on mustang boards like MustangCentral.net and Midwest Mustang Association since I own a couple of them bad boys too!

Welcome to FTE. I have a Mustang, too. I was hanging around some of the sites myself but kind of at a stand still right now until I get back from this deployment. Want to do the work myself. I've got an '02 F-250 at my dad's place while I'm here and getting some work done so been a little more active on this site.

There is a lot of valuable information on this site and a lot of great sponsors that will take the time to help you out, DC Special went above and beyond getting me some help with a lift kit for mine.
