Jay MaGic's First Truck Build.2015
Hey Ford Fam my name is Jack Tran. I'm 22 years old this year and I just bought my first truck. I paid $3000 for her but she was rough when I got her. bald tires, no ac/heat, dirty interior, bad ball joints, alignment was off, rusted water pump...etc etc.. its been sitting for over a year so it needed a lot of TLC but hey no leaks and engine runs strong so thats all that mattered to me at the moment since I desperately needed a vehicle with a back seat for my 2 year old son. I also own a 2012 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 that I ride on the daily but I learned you cant put a car seat on a bike...Once I pay off my bike im gonna sell her and put all that money into my baby truck here haha. But anyways heres the updated info on my truck.

Bought a 180 grit block to sand down the tool box so I can paint it black. Bought 2 sets of clothesline hooks so I can mount this beast onto the truck after I finish painting it

If you are looking for a heavy duty front bumper and are dead set on a body lift look at tough country they have an option to get the bumper made with brackets that raise it 3 inches so it works with the body lift ranch hand bumpers will not work with a body lift

Thanks for the info bro I never knew this, and thanks for commenting on my thread bro! I was about to give up on it. I wanted admins to move this post to the 97-03 section since no one cared to see my thread lol

No problem and despite the lack of the comments people still look at the threads and if your truck turns out as sick as you want to make it people will notice. If you have any other questions feel free to ask we are here to help
