speaking of tow straps im in the market, whats a safe min weight rating??

 

no doubt...im not critisizing i was just bugging...but i want to do one with no welding involved...one piece is stronger than 2 joined pieces...on big *** chunk of 3" by 1" steel however long and bolt it down in a many places as possible lol

35,000 lb has always worked for me

but now with big tires i have a tendancy to bury my truck to the headlight before digging out that strap so im gonna want a bigger one...and 60,000 lb strap is a bit much but i want one just to say i have one...plus i recover a lot of tractor trailers from the snow banks at the shop where i work so i need a big strap for that

 

Bigger is always better.

Bigger recovery point wouldn't hurt.
Neither would a bigger recovery strap.

dang, 10 pages soince i wuz on here last. havent taken the truck to the mountain in a while but my popa did put a big **** scratch down the side of the tailgate while he was hauling furnature. i was sick to my stomach, oh well. we are going to our hunting club on monday. 40mile drive followed by a 2mile mountain climb. then there is all the trails on top. hehehe

 

Pics or it didn't happen. Lol.

 

this is a guy's truck i met today. it has a ford ZF tranny with a 302HO Engine and a 4inch lift.

 

Here is a update on my truck. I added a 2nd coat of paint to my trucks grill and i temporary fixed the bumper untill i buy another one.





One day this week i will take the running boards off and next year after jan a new dual exhaust will be installed.

 

Work in Progress

 

Flame paint job, havn't seen one of those since like the 90's lol.

 

I tried to go up a hill last night.
YouTube - F-150 Won't Go Up The Hill
I made it up before the video but I couldn't make it again.

 

I only talked to him for a breif 10 mins he got mad when i said i was going to do a 351w swap. He said a 302 can make more horsepower and torq than any 351w. My reply was simple "There is no replacement for displacement. After that he walked away. what struck my interest in the truck was the flowmaster exhaust and the lift kit not the flame paint job although its nice to see something unusual everyonce in a while.

 

they can....but then you dump that same amount of money into a 351 and it can make double the numbers that 302 did LOL

but i gotta ask...why the lime green grille?
