Fill er Up!

Got the truck cleaned inside and out the other day. Took in to the local Chevron and spent $92.00 at $4.119 a gallon. Kicker, I still had a 1/4 tank left

HaHa! I love this truck! Dirty or clean

Here's some pictures (First 2 are Cell phone pics)

I would say rough on the fill up.. but diesel is still 4.80, so no sympathy here

Nice cut outs, I always liked black trucks

I don't even drive a gas guzzler and I still unloaded my mark viii, which took premium. Must suck for you guys, especially diesel.

Btw, I now drive a accord. Not real fun to drive, but I enjoy the less expensive and less often fillups. I haven't even touched my F100 in a while.

Nice truck, are you in AZ by chance?

its amazing because when i bought my 03 i never intended to park it and have something else to drive. i too don't like driving a focus but it came down to that at least for the back and forth to work where i had to do something. instead of $100 a week i'm at that every three with the car.

$122.50 today to fill from 1/4 tank. Only the third time this week. I got stuck in the office doing paper wor a few days.

I desperately need to wash mine, seems like it rains everywhere except at my house and truck is filthy. Had to clean some bird droppings off yesyerday, now there is one clean stripe down the drivers door.

You don't get much sympathy for the 92 buck fill up. get a long bed truck with a diesel.

Nice looking truck.

99predator, I've been thinking about cutouts but don't want tires to look small with them. Yours looks good, what size tire are you running there?

It's funny you mention that. I was running 36's without the flares, when I put the flares out it looked really gay:



Right now, I'm running the same tire measuring 39.5x15x16.5
