Since I lost that truck, I had an 04 Mustang Convertible for a while. Traded that for a 94 Full Size Bronco I had for a year and a half. I traded that to a guy on a HORRIBLE Deal on a 2000 F250 V10 4x4. Lost over $7K on that deal. Just yesterday, I rectified that situation and bought another 05 F150 X-Cab Lariat 4x4. So, I'm happy to be back in a truck.

What's up? No, I don't have my 08 F350 no more. Repo man got it when I moved back from CA. Spent nearly 2.5 years between crappy jobs and couldn't afford the $800.00/month payment or the $1600/month to own/insure/drive it no more. So, I had to turn it in. You didn't see it when I had it last... In all her glory... 8" lift, 38" tires and all. She was freaking BAD ***!!!

As for the 150 I now have, I'll level it out and get some 34" BFG ATs on it a.s.a.p. But, not until I actually NEED the tires. Later on, I'll do a 6" lift and 35s or 37s. Eventually it'll be a full blown expedition type rig.

I'm drooling a little with that picture.
If you level the 150 you can get 35s on it. That's what mine has right now.
I'd love to do a 4" lift but they don't make them anymore and 6" is just a touch too high to have to lift kids in and out of.

Sorry you lost your truck, Eddie. It was a nice one, except for that ridiculous gangsta rap music it played! Haha! The pickup is pretty much still the same as the last time you saw it when I towed one of your EBs. I just got new rubber last month. $1001 out the door for 285 E ATs. Borrowed $1000 interest free for 9 mos. Paid a buck and out the door. It still runs great and serves its purpose when I haul Clyde to CO or UT for runs.
I took the original 2.9L out of the Bronco II and swapped in a 4L from an Explorer. Did it all myself. 50% power increase. Runs awesome now. 5th gear has a broken synchro but you don't need 5th to rock crawl.
Here's Bonnie & Clyde in front of the Gunsmoke store in Denver on a wheeling trip last year.
Here are a few recent Puerco shots. 35 MTRs are 2 1/2 years old with not much wear yet.
