but i gotta ask...why the lime green grille?
well to be honest i wanted to cover up the cracks in the chrome and the fact it's duct taped together. my father in law backed into the grill and broke it. It's being replaced in the summer when the truck is repainted Dodge Electric blue. was going to paint it limegreen but have sence lost my taste for it. I also took the truck nutz off. My truck has ***** but i don't need a set hanging to prove it.

Can we say ghetto? Why not just pull a grille from a junk yard and paint it? I repainted my grill and it looks brand new.

that must be why i see so many chebbys and doogies with truck nutz...can you say compensating for a lack of something else? LOL

you can junkyard grilles cheap and paint them, it wouldnt even have to be chrome if your gonna paint it any way...but when you paint your grill, give it primer coat or two and then like 3 coats of paints and 1 or 2 of clear or the paint will peel like no tommorow haha

There is paint made for painting plastic. Its like Kyrlon or something. It plastic in the label. Works really well, only a few bucks for a can of spray paint.

Myself, I used regular paint and just scuffed the flaking paint until I had enough layers of paint that looked good and nothing flakes off lol. It has like two cans of paint on it.

Does this qualify for this thread? Not exactly wheeling, but it is an old ford doing stuff that trucks do, in a lightly offroad environment. I love this truck, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, just so you guys know we tried going around the park with our LS truck and it kept getting stuck. This one with the open diff did better, and they're pretty well the same truck. Someday soon I'll get some real videos and pictures.

Not trying to argue, but 9.5. has a point. My boss has a 09 F-250 4x4, lifted (not huge, maybe 4") with 35 mud tires on it. This thing is a beast. He gets stuck in places that I know my 95 F150 could easily get out of, no lift, with 31 tires.

Hey, awesome looking truck I like the rims, I'm that natescamp guy from youtube. I think your truck has motivated me to remove my sidestep. Now for the big question, how much mud is she going to be seeing?

haha, i'm only 15 and i've already scoped out all of the places to go wheeling within 350 miles! ha. I can't wait for some more videos of yours man. Are you still trying to sell your f150? Which truck are you taking the step side off of?

Thanks
