Well another truck gone. I sold the '99 F-350 because I decided it's not 100% what I wanted. I loved the idea that it was a 50 (what I'm looking for), and the body was totaled so I wouldn't have to worry about using it as a work truck, but I wanted literally the other side of this truck. I wanted the crew cab long bed manual diesel version of this. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted and I actually made money on it lol.
This truck was a 1999 F-350 Lariat 4x4 with 125k miles on a 6.8L V10 engine with a 6" Rough Country suspension lift on 37x12.5R16.5 Super swampers (when I bought it, it hat 37x13.5R17 Cooper discoverer STT's).
The day I got her:
Doing some work:
That MPG though:
My brother hit my truck with his Mustang:
Last day:
It was fun, I got to total some dip sticks truck and he unwillingly got me a "new" bumper (don't brake check big trucks people). Good times, but at the end of the day, this makes it all worth it:
She sounded sexy too

What a monster of a truck, I really miss the build and toughness of older trucks. My buddy just bought a Denali HD and got a 6" lift on it and a few light bars and stuff and it looks mean, but I would take this work horse over it any day of the week.

I'm kinda in between about a million different options lol. I might sell my F-150 and buy a 2011-14 F-150 with the 3.5L, but then I thought if I'm spending that much money I may as well get a new F-350 with the 6.7L diesel, however in April I will be working out of state and no longer need a truck bigger than a 1/4 ton (Ranger, Dakota, S10, etc), so maybe I should start looking into cars for fuel efficiency. But if I look at cars I lose a lot of space, so I might look at SUV's. The twist to that is my brother wants to upgrade so I might buy his Mustang off him since it looks semi decent and gets good MPG.
Yep, too many options lol, either way nothing will happen until May at the soonest, but I'll probably be waiting until this time next year when I have amassed a lot of money and evaluate what I will need. I'm kinda looking into the big SUV's like the Suburbans, Escalades, Excursions, ETC. but right now I'm changing my mind every week lol. First world problems over here

I think you would like the mustang. Fun to drive, the sixers get good gas mileage, (gas is cheap af rn anyways) and its a head turner. Something new for ya too.

I've driven his car a lot, we drove over 500 miles in it for work and his foot has been giving his issues, so I've been driving him a lot. I like the gas mileage of the car, but it's too damn low for me lol. I'm 6', 250 so getting in and out isn't the funnest experience. I'm leaning to a smaller SUV like the Ford Edge / Explorer, or Chevy Equinox. I haven't looked around too much but I could buy any one of those vehicles right now lol.
As for the video everything will be cleared up February 17th. The person is trying everything they can to say it was my fault because of a few reasons. They got hit with a couple of tickets when the cop came, one was for the brake checking, another for impeding the flow of traffic, and another for driving without insurance. They're trying to claim I had my high beams on and they couldn't see so they was driving slower lol. As of right now the accident was their fault and they owe me for a bumper, and they get to figure out what to do with their rig. I'm trying to say don't worry about the bumper for a tax write off because I found one for 20 bucks lol.
