Default Standard new guy post. . . took me 48 years

Yep, I'm 48 and finally have two things I have always wanted in a single package. A full size truck and a 4x4. I have always had cars and two small trucks. Weird because all of my adult life I have been a powerlifter and 300+ pounds. Strange, no doubt, to see me wedging myself in and out. Got hurt at 42 and gave up competitive lifting but am still a fairly large guy. Spent the last six years into guns and reloading.

Today I bought myself a truck. I consider it a REAL truck. I am VERY happy! It did not cost a lot which works out well since I don't have a lot.

Here it is. . . 2001 F 150 XLT ext. cab, 5 inch body lift, 33" tires, etc. cool to me. Nice to be here:

Obliged to you guys! I think I will enjoy it here, do you guys help out with the inevitable and redundant dumb questions. I have little mechanical skill, well, actually, NONE, but I can learn if you guys will teach. I have an old truck and it will, of course, have aches and pains. I'll need help.
