Hmm...... it would appear my 4x4 may not be ready....
It's getting pretty close, but the front driveshaft is out, and the rear is fixed.
slow....slow.... progress being made, I hate favors!!!

You got those new rims John, we could toss 2 of your old tires on the back of the "Rowdy Ford" 2wd 5spd 97 step-side MONSTER!!!!
and then ya'll could take turns pulling me through wet grass, lol.

I will be in a Ranger at least though.

btw: is it just me or are your trucks very very similar?
I can't believe nobody in all of the Kentucky,Tennessee, Indiana, area are not game for wheeling.......

Frank, you would be surprised how close our trucks really are...both are same color (John's has graphics, but both same factory color), both have the 12/95 manufacturing date, both have same motor/trans/tcase combo, both have same interior options/color...

Welcome Permit?

Found the issue on 04...... simple and easy, both axles.
Now to get them done...... completely.

so it's lookin like the infamous "Rowdy Ford"
will be the vehicle of choice, 2wd 97 5spd... with one of those exhaust leaks that will make you black out unless you roll down the window.
