Hey guy, i havent been on for a while so i figured id give u guys a update.

in about last march/april ish i bought i 94 f150 supercab 4x4 5.0L 5 speed for 100$, i needed a clutch and some TLC. So working at an auto wreckers i was able to come up with a fairly good clutch disc for free :icon_thumby: so i got that all together and drove it for a while. About june/july i sold the ranger for 1200$ cash and decided to do the motor in the f150 for good measure, 500$ later i had a new 5L. my most recent activities have included a raise at work from yard guy to tow truck driver, a lifted rolling chassis i bought from work for 300$ and tidying up my current truck. lately ive been hanging around fullsizebronco.com . So heres a bunch of pics :icon_hornsup:

my old ranger just for reference:


my current truck: the last pic is the day i brought it home




my lifted rolling chassis: in progress




my tow trucks:

Welcome back...congrats on the promotion...sounds like you've made some progress on the vehicle front...

And I see you have the spotted brown steel plaque out your way...thought they didn't use salt in BC...it looks a bit worse than my undercarriage when I started...but as long as the metal is good it can be cleaned up and protected...:icon_thumby:

ya i miss the ranger, its gunna take alot more height and bigger tires to make the f150 as capable, as far as approach and departure angles go, but having the towing capabilities and the 5L is very niice
