Hi from Kiwiland...


New to the forum and Ford ownership so a quick Hi to all...
Not to many American trucks here in New Zealand so it's always gettin looked at...
It's an 02, 5.4 with 305x35x23 tires...
Converted new at 54miles to RHD it's done 60,000km ...
Was lowered and looked real cool but part of my deal to buy was lift it a couple of inches cause it was sittin on bumpstops front an rear, bummer for me they lifted it 4-5"...
Had it a few mths but know none of its history so if anyone recomends something I need to do it would be most appreciated...
Thanx... Mike...

Mike,

I think it's current height look just fine. You've got a nice truck, mine is also a stepside bed. Mine is a 1998 Lariat model and is by far, the most dependible vehicle I've ever owned. It rides and runs great at 100,000 miles (161,000 KM) on the odometer.

You have a nice truck maybe a little bit too much wheel for my taste but a nice truck nonetheless.

In terms of maintenance replacing all the fluids is a good start since you don't know much about the truck and how it was driven before.

I would personally also replace the bump stops just because who knows how long the truck rested on those old ones.

Thanx for that, I thought fluids would be a good place to start as well...
