Default finally got another truck

well its been awhile since ive been on here. About a month ago I traded my 03 mustang gt covertable for this 2002 f150 fx4 with a 6in lift and 315/75/16's. before I got it they cut the muffler out and put a y pipe in to run duals that turn 90 degrees out he side behind the back tires. don't really like that but I will change that later.its got a 5.4 with 190,000 miles. but you cant tell by the way it runs and drives.. this is my 5th ford. started with a 91 full size bronco then went to a 99 f150 2wd (totaled it) then a 95 f150 4wd that I traded straight up for the 03 mustang gt that I kept for 9 months but needed a more family friendly car because me and my wife are expecting our first son at the end of jan. so now ive got this truck.. currently no mods but they are coming. gonna start with HD headlights or a sct programmer. then new speakers because the ones that are in it if you turn it loud enough to hear with the windows down they crackle really bad..

Congrats, looks like a nice ride ( well at least from the front ) although with a little one on the way I would have gotten a screw. Even without young ones now, I would never go back.

Super cab back seats really aren't that bad except for head room.

LIAR!! Just kidding, yeah my first 2 f150s were scabs and now that I have I screw, as said I would never go back. I just love having all the interior room to keep my hunting gear safe this time of year or room for friends when going out. Try one , you'll like it.

My dad has a screw,I've ridden in it for years,my scab has a little less room but not too much. Plus with his tool box,he has like 4' of bed space.

I would've liked to have a crew cab but couldn't find one I liked or one that was willing to trade. wife also said she didn't like the idea of my driving our little one around in the mustang. ive tried uploading more pics but it keeps telling me upload failed... I really want to get a new head unit.. its got a flip out touch screen and it doesn't even flip out with out you having to help it drives me nuts!!!!!!

Yeah I love my scab, my buddies don't really complain unless they're 6 ft haha. A screw with a tool box could barely fit a push mower lol

Nice Rig - You will regret trading the mustang away in about 3-4 months

I miss the mustang already...but workin at the ford dealership I get to drive em every now and then...when we get used ones that we are gonna resell we have to make sure everything works right and is in good shape so we take em out and beat on em pretty hard to make sure that they will stand up to the next owner... the new gt500's are stupid fast and the boss 302 handle like they are on rails... im looking to buy a mustang with a blown up motor for cheap just cant find one that isn't beat up on the outside or the inside
