Smack in the middle of Illinois

[Musick17]

Not many places to wheel here. Anyone wanna hit up the corn fields?

Hey guys, my name is Mason Musick, and im from.. well, just about the middle of no where. I live in Lincoln Illinois(30 minutes north of Springfied) and im a senior in highschool. ive been an actual member of the site for about a year now. i never started using it til just a couple weeks ago though.

Ive been driving my 2000 xlt 3.0L for a little over two years now. i received it as a gift from a very close family friend after her grandfather passed away. they wanted someone they knew and loved to keep the truck driving.

the truck was used to transport donated organs from Chicago to St. Louis regularly as a part of the Gift of Hope organization. That rolled the miles up pretty quick.

My ranger was completely stock when i got it and.. its still just about the same. ive added some heavier duty shocks to it and a pretty nice sound system, no subs though. im no thug =]. I strapped some 265 A/T's on it and those are fairing pretty nicely for me. I bought a light bar for the front, and personally i like it. some KC lights would look awefully good on it though.
Ive got a 3 inch PA body lift that ive had for a year that needs to be installed still. My dad is reluctant to help me since my older brother rolled a lifted toyota.

enough rambling. time for a couple pictures. i dont have many so bare with me. ill start from oldest to newest.

What's up? Lincoln!

Welcome to the site. You'll find this site is a useful tool.

There isn't much for wheeling around here, but go up north a ways, and you'll find some spots. There are some other IL members that wheel, BrayD, Explorin94, and JohnnyU. I'm working on getting my truck wheelable.

Btw, I know your step brother Andrew. If you ever need a little advice, or need help fixing something.....I consider myself a semi-Ranger expert and I am a mech. in training, but have a few certs under my belt, including a Ford one.

BTW, those destinations kick ass in the snow.
