Important

[macgyvr]

Basically the same thing as what I've got, but 4x4. 1997 F-350, crew cab long bed, DRW. As I think you pointed out before, Ford did not build them that way, but this one is an Arrowcraft conversion. I believe they started with a 4x4 SRW and converted it to DRW. High mileage but seems well maintained, should be picking it up tomorrow night.

The party is me driving out to Tyler's place to pick up his slide-in camper. Finally going to join the club. Then of course that turns into staying for a night or two, which turns into drinking, and pretty soon it's a full-on farm party.

Sounds like a good truck. Yeah its either a converted dually or coverted 2wd, there was so many that people thought ford did it from the factory. I wish I could justify your 2wd, I'd have it around just because...

Truck campers are cool. I don't make very good money decisions all the time, but my truck camper was probably one of the best decisions that I made. If I hadn't just taken almost all of Sept off at work, I'd consider the party.

my Monte SS is becoming a money pit.

New radiator, new MAF sensor, new plugs/wires, new water pump, new headlights, and I found out today after doing a compression test that the miss i've been feeling is a bad intake valve. back fed the cylinder with air and it was rushing out the intake.

got a guy that's gonna put a new/used head on next week for $250ish,


all this puts the cost of this car at 1 nice XJ and $840.

things to fix - fans aren't kicking on, the a/c needs charged, and a couple of tires by winter.

I thought I used up all my bad luck after the bounder. fuk!

I wish you would've consulted me before making this 'deal'

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the local battery rebuilder?

going to pick up a new toy in the morning...

when you showing up fool?

 

[XJosh95]

Anyone put the lower xflex arms from rough country on a 3 inch lift?
website says 4 to 6 inch. Is it possible to put them on my 3 inch lift?

I do have those on my rig now. They're pretty good at 3", actually had them on with a budget boost too...There is a thread somewhere that tells you how long you need your LCAs to be with what lift. There's a lot of room for adjustment. And I do have the RC long arms still in the box. I'm a lazyass.


Edit: I should have read further down the thread...

bonfire party the night of the 21st (as long as they dont reinstate the burn ban in the county) all are welcome...even Flex.

Cheese "burnin'-n-boozin'" Man

You know, I am really disappointed I can't make this. I figured the toughest person to convince I needed to fly to Missouri for a weekend would be Meganne. She told me I needed a vacation. Don't know what she's trying to say... But anyway, I went to clear it with my boss and (long story short) we're having a lube-a-thon for Make a Wish Foundation Sat. the 22nd. They *need* everyone on board to do these $15 oil changes...

Edit: My store GM told me I could show up to work that Saturday or go to Muhzurruh and be unemployed.

I hear last year they had to do lot and employee vehicles to make the quota. I guess they just sat around shoot the she-it all day eating hotdogs. Glad to know I'm giving up such a great weekend to sit on my ass at work.

Easy choice there!
