If I had it to do over I would of just bought a lightning that had plenty of aftermarket products available and could keep it in a kit form so to speak. Unfortunately I found out the hard way with this truck that upgrading past the P1SC and adding custom built engine that I was in the class of No Kit Available. Truck is a Frankenstein and shops that usually just install prefabbed kits like procharger and others that all you have to do is follow the directions they send you don' want anything to do with my truck. Been there done that. I ordered the truck before it was even available to the public because stepfather was in upper management at Ford dealership. Sold a 1967 F100 that I helped build and regret it to this day and unfortunately the 1997 truck kind of took its place. Yeah it' a pain in the you know what and hard to work on but it is what it is. Just hit 100,000 miles on truck not too long ago and it is still nice and straight. Like they say you only live once and I do have a truck you dont see 10 times a day.

This is where I made the cop laugh I pulled up over the curb into the parking lot then took my shoulder slammed it in to make it drivable and so it didn't tear up the door I did scare the old lady by slamming my door and yelling sob and walking up to her door as she rolled up her window until I knocked on it and asked if she was ok I then checked out the damage no antifreeze and no tranny fluid I was happy and best of all I got the ticket lol

Time for a dash cam... well technically a bit late but now you have motivation to buy one lol check out the douchebag of the day thread, they've been talking about dashcams for the last week or so... also linked a thread about dashcams.

Lol. Those little trucks w/22r's use to be good little 4wheelers, mud trucks because they were so light. They would go like hell through the mud. Unfortunately they were under powered once you threw large tires on them. Cool thing about those little Toyota trucks, you could throw a Buick V6 in them without a problem...then they would go just about anywhere the jeeps did.
