FireZapper's Purple Haze

Hey all, Firezapper here.
I'm retired from the Air Force after 20 years. Now I work for a company that assembles the chassis for mack trucks. I assemble the rear boogies.

I live in south central Pa. When I retired I was separated from my wife of 16 years. I'm now divorced and bought a home with my pop. My childhood home was in bad shape so we talked and got a better place. I have 2 girls (13 and 16) living with mom.
Me and my youngest

Enough about me....

What she looked like back in Apr 05. Bought her just too lift and play.

After a couple weeks decided to put the 30 9.50's off the beater on.

That was just too hold me over a couple weeks.

Until I ordered these.

Installing the lift

Oh and yes she will wheel.

[IAmTodd]

Hope to see ya at one of our runs! Don't forget the Meet and Greet coming up in September!

 

[FireZapper]

[FireZapper]

Have to figure out this speedo crap.

This is 70 mph... 513's and 34 LTB's

But she will idle on 4 low... Up a pretty steep grade on one of the roads near home.

Just some pozer shots.

Man thats steep!

What a climb

And I know I'm crazy.

20 years in the service does that trust i got 5.5 in and i am already considered nuts by the boys back home

Great looking Explorer and F150. Those 5.13s must be nice offroad.

 

[Paraphoe]

Awesome X. I also can't help but comment on your F-150. Dead sexy.

[bmxking5]

Sweet! I've heard pottsy does great work!

 

[j602]

Dayum. That's a hell of a cage. I guess you don't plan on hauling very much stuff/people?

 

[SplashMan]

The way he drives (offroad AND on), he needs it!

 

[FireZapper]

It's a wheeler. Spare parts in the back... The rear set is accessable but I'm going to a single racing seat in the rear.

Oh and Brian

 

[BigDakota]

Super nice looking Sport..Firezapper..The pit crew looked like they were working hard under the X ..I am assuming putting the lift in..was it as fast as the NASCAR guys..lol

 

[95offroadx]
