yea i was waiting on my friend to upload more from tonight. and get mine, thats just the one we took the other day.

edit: pics added. i know some are done at night, so they suck, but gives an idea
yes im aware the marker is burnt out. and i gotta fix the 3rd brake light, it doesnt light up for braking, but will light up as a taillight and door ajar light

and the 2000 is my friends. same thing, different year
 






I like it. The new wheels and tires will make it look much better.
 












thanks guys. im loving it so far.
just trying to track down wheels now, chrome would look better.
4 37s with 95% tread are $500 shipped :cool:
only cause my buddy is getting a set, so its discounted some. i mean 8 tires, better get a discount! lol
 






nice i like it a lot
 






Looks good! It's impossible to find them that clean up here. The only two bad things about them are the 16.5" wheels and the lack of siping, but you really can't beat the price for them!
 






:thumbsup: NICE TRUCK :thumbsup:

non-turbo with a stack :scratch:
 






once i get the 16.5x10 wheels ill be set, itll be humvees from then on.

i still smoke quite a bit, so i enjoy the stack
 






first repair already. blowing fuse #17. controls the gauges and electric transmission shifting. so with a blown fuse the tranny doesnt know when to shift and only my speedo works(since it works by cable)

tracked it down to a ford TSB and they made a new shifter to fix the problem. the wires coming from the OD selector(tip of shifter) rub on the metal and short out causing #17 to blow. pulled my shifter and sure enough that was it.

by a miracle ford has the new shifter in stock! $76, online its $50 :(
but the plus is i can do it today...
 






so i got a new shifter from ford, $76.
put it in and everything works again! i have a working wait to start light now too!
 






new(BARELY used, if at all) tires are here!!
i lied in the above post, got all 5 for $500. my friend for 5 for himself also.

might mount them on the 12 wide wheels i have for now, use the money from the old tires to buy wheels with.

how big are those? the tread looks exactly like the ones the military uses on hummvees
 






thats cause they are the ones the military uses :p
37x12.5r16.5 goodyear wrangler mt military oz

do the rules of the explorer still apply for this truck in axle gearing?

stock 3.55s and 37 humvees. the explorer would be 5.13, but what about this truck?
i know someone that had a f350 with 4.56 installed after he got 39s. so thats making me think its different for this truck

4.10 or 4.56 should be cool with the amount of torque you've got with the 7.3. Especially since it's mostly a DD. Any pics with the tires on yet?
