Default Hello everyone

Hello and thanks to the webmasters that make this possible! I am BUUL, I am from CA ,at 17 I left home and sailed the seven seas as a member of the Seafarers International Union from 1976 until 1990 when I got a land job with the NY Dept. of Environmental Protection. One of the first vehicles I bought as a landlubber was an 85 F150 with a 3" lift and 35" BFG All Terrain Tires. An odd vehicle for a city guy but my dad had 85 acres in the Catskills and we had a lot of fun going off road up there. I sold it in the late 90s and have had two minivans, a Ford Windstar and a Honda Odyssey. I had a Taurus SHO and wagon. But the minivan will be my driver and I just bought a 2012 F150 with 4x4 and the 3.5L twin turbo V6. It is a Supercab with and 8 ft bed just like my 85 but what a difference from the old truck to the modern F150. I am now in Florida and will use to to off road to camp and tow my King Quad ATV to all the riding areas. As with my boat, my ATV my 1948 Farmall Cub and 1976 Honda CT 90 I find these forums extremely helpful for advise and am happy to be a member
