Lets see those trucks!

**** man, tough spot.... can’t say I am.... sorry bro. I will say that I too have owned such style wheels in the past...
On the plus side, they are at least more at home on regular trucks than legit off road rigs.
THAT’S a BEAUT!
Glad to hear it, lol.
already got it or on order?
Yeah, loaded it out except moon roof, stickers and engine block heater. Still waiting on a build date though.
much better
Fastest I’ve ever gotten to a deer stand was in one of these. Asked my buddy if the Baja mode was actually worth a shit…he looks at me with a kneegrow please look while switching modes and punches it.
Now, we’re rolling 4 deep and myself and another buddy are in the back seat. This MF’er is doing 110 down a ****ing goat trail and rapidly approaching a 90 degree turn. He didn’t let up till the last second, and I just knew we were gonna flip this bitch several times and die. He did take out a couple mesquite bushes in the process.
Let’s just say I was very impressed, even though I almost shit myself.
My problem is not being in control when doing shit your pants events. Did the sand dune excursion in Dubai and I thought I was gonna die for about 2 hours straight. It's like a roller coaster than never ends...lol.
agreed. My cousin and I went on a Hummer tour out in Utah, since we were the only ones that came out to that early morning tour he took us places they can't really go with a whole truck load (it's been a long time but I wanna say their H1s were stretched for a couple extra rows). Us with no experience in places like that seemed sketchy AF.
Agreed. If I’m gonna die doing some crazy shit, I wanna be the one in control!
Only other time I thought I was gonna die was in the back seat of a buddies cobra with his father in law (whom I didn’t know was a professional driver) behind the wheel. We were again doing about 120 on some side street in a shit hole part of Dallas and his ass is headed straight towards a bridge embankment. I’m back there looking at this rapidly approaching wall of concrete like hey…Hey…HEY!! To this day I can’t figure out how he did it, but he slammed on the brakes with MAYBE 200’ to spare, down shifted, and fishtailed that car around all in what seemed like a second.
They both knew they were gonna scare the shit out of me and were laughing hysterically. ****ers.
I personally feel as though my F-150 had a better ride. The Ranger, while comfortable on the road, does ride a little on the rigid/stiff side.
*Edit* I didn't see Sid's comment until after I posted mine. I believe his assessment is spot on.
Yes please!
God, that is a beautiful truck.
Wow, what a difference? How much detailing work did you have to do?
I like the wheel choice!

Thanks Bob!
I did a bunch of hand polishing and that made it look way better. It wasn’t till I got the “detail” guy from my work to give it a good buff to get it looking like that. If I would have gotten a true detail professional to color sand and buff it, it would come out so much better. I say “detail guy” because I work at a new car dealership and they do an alright job, they don’t spend hours on a car like this truck needs vs a new car with good paint to begin with.
I got lucky finding those wheel covers! They’re my favorite for that period on these Ford trucks.
I have other pics that I tried to upload but they’re to big apparently.
