This month I have decided that we needed to get a more mutable truck in for our Feature Truck.

I bought the truck in April, 2004 from the second owner. I flew to Fort Worth, handed over the money, and drove it back to Salt Lake City. It had a few modifications at that time.

The Truck of the Month is not only for those who have amzing rigs but it is also for those members who bring life to the forum. Those who are helping and show a concern for others here at EF. Its not about having a truck that has every mod you can think to have on it. Someone once said "well maintained, slightly moded, stock looking trucks are just as important to their owners and this site as are the others." This month goes to Sam. So everyone tell Sam what you think.

I received this truck in June of 2001 for my 16th birthday. At the time, I didn't think much about modifying vehicles, but slowly I began to add things in order to change the look of my Explorer. I started out with blackouts in the front and rear. EVERYBODY has gone thru a blackout stage, so don't laugh! This is the stock-est picture that I have: Later in the months, I added a system and some underbody lights. It seems so long ago. About 6 months later, I began to do some real mods. I picked up some 18 inch rims off eBay. It was more of an impulse buy than anything, and looking back now, I really don't like the rims at all. My tastes have done a complete 180 since this time period. As you can see, I had the...
