where is that?

did u build those bumper? they look pretty good!
 
I think the wheels and tires look fine bro, but nice flex. I have heard about Disney, should head down sometime, would only take me a few hours to get there.
 
well you can't really tell in the pics but the two rears are past the wear markers and hydroplane like a boat. and the only way I have the wheels on there are with a lug change wheel spacer and I don't have the right lugs for the wheels.

Most of you should know that for some reason ford went to a metric stud and a washer lugnut combo well my spacers I have still have the standard 1/2 20 so I put a big thick washer behind it well on road it worked fine but off road they wanna back off some times so I am going to get some 38 13.50 tsl sx and some new wheels to fit the truck right but needless to say the truck is parked because of the lugnut issue just don't seem to safe
 
ya, i used to hit up the Washita every other weekend when i lived in Sulphur. good times!
ive even done a few trip to the Illinois river in that area.
 
I think I have a build spec. some where but here goes again...

6 inch ebay lift that I beefed up the brackets on
35 front out of a 93 exploder w/ warn hubs and spicer joints
Rear is still the stock 7.5 both axles with 373s
Stock 2.8 and 5 speed trans with 1350 case
lots of fender trimmings home built bumpers from 1/4 rectangle tube

Goin tomorrow to pick up a 8.8 31spline with disk from a 2000 exploder and maybe even get the 302 I have a 1354e case for making a doubler out of but why I was at the salvage today I found a 78 hi-boy that has a 205 under it and one in the bed so that might change and I need to find a c6 or 4 if I get the 302 just say I got a lil more of an itch to build more on the truck after finding a cool bunch of local guys to run with
 
I believe the 8.8 is a smidge wider than your 7.5. You might run into some tire VS fender on the back once you put that 8.8 in.
