Thanks. The pics don't do the hill justice. It's one of those hills out in the middle of nowhere. Good 50' climb. Scraped the bottom side as I crested the top. Had to get some photos for the fun of it. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts. LOL!!!

I'm not necessarily "wheeling" my truck. But, I'm not afraid to take it "Offroad" as the name states right below the FX4 logo.

I'll admit.. I love my truck and I don't want to trash it. But, it is still a truck and I do expect it to do what it's designed to do. So far, I am only disappointed in the power steering pump. Which has been a problem for Ford for years...

Hear that. I've taken my pickup on some of the milder trails in the Ouray, CO area, which are basically 2WD dirt roads but with great scenery. It's seen its share of dirt in the Jemez Mts too. Elephant Butte beach once too. But I try and avoid wheeling it at all costs. Full size rigs serve better purposes as tow rigs IMHO but if you're gonna wheel it, don't overdo it. It would be a shame to break something on that bad boy due to playing around!! Warranty or not.
