Well, after a brief hiatus from full size rigs, I'm back in one. I just traded my 1998 Cherokee for a 1995 F-250. Not really a Ford guy, but I couldn't pass up the deal. I went to check it out last Friday after emailing back and forth for about a week. A good buddy of mine is the head Ford tech at the local dealership, so I had him come along when I went to check it out. He gave me the thumbs up, so I swapped titles and drove it home.
I gotta say I'm loving the truck so far. I really thought I would get into the Jeep thing more, but it just didn't fit my needs and became unpractical. Bottom line is I like to have a bed to put 'stuff' in (i.e. firewood, dogs, etc.) without worrying about getting it dirty.
Specs:
1995 F250 4x4
7.3 Powerstroke
209K miles
5 speed
4" lift
35" Toyo MTs
4" exhaust
Warn hubs
tons of brand new stuff, including a clutch, glow plugs, cooling system
Base model (manual windows, no headliner, no carpet, etc)
The lift and tires on it aren't really my thing, so I will probably end up swapping the suspension out for something closer to stock. For wheels, I'd like to get something OEM, but nothing is really sticking out yet. Any ideas? And I still have my RTT, so I'll have to figure out where to put it. On top of canopy maybe? Tube rack?
My old Cherokee, will miss her:
