Hey everyone!
Been on here for a few months and have been semi active learning how cool the site is and giving some feedback on builds and such. For now Im introducing my truck and giving you some insite on my plans/needs for my truck.
For starters:
1998 F-150
4.6L
4x4
Glasstite Shell
Michelin A/T's
HID Headlights
CB
Ride-Rite Air Bag system
Brake Control
Thats about is as far as aftermarket stuff. I bought the truck with 108xxx on the clock in December 2007. The Engine was replaced at 50xxx miles for some crazy MAF malfunction. I now have 198xxx on the clock. In the last 10k Miles I have rebuilt the rear end and replaced the front end.
This is my DD so I am going to keep suspension mostly stock. My needs for this adventure rig are as follows:
Keep it as my DD
Be able to tow a small boat (18ft) to Mex. I am very into spearfishing and diving so this will be my main Mex adventure rig for spearing trips.
Be able to handle the roads in mex but also be able to handle the terrain of the south west states (CA, AZ, UT, CO, NM, NV)
I will be sleeping in the bed
Be able to hold all my gear (obviously)
So here is the list of NEEDS:
Fix a head light (bulb went out)
Add additional lights (HID & LED)
New shocks
Bed Storage (above head or below, still undecided)
Blue Sea Fuse box to bed for power of lights, radios, music, etc.
Roof rack
Thats all I plan for right now. Future will be custom rear bumper, custom roof rack, winch, etc. Future future plans is SAS
Thats all I can think of now. I will obviously be updating this thread as it SLOWLY comes together. Here is a pic of trunchbull as it sits now.
