Mr. Truckles- 97 Mountaineer NJ

Hey guys the name's Phil, My friend Shawn and I have been building up this 97 Mountaineer ever since his '01 sport met it watery fate.


It's got the 5.0w v8 and and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it's a 97 "1/4" so it has the Gt-40p heads on it. 4.10 limited slip d2 axles

We decided to go with just a simple TT & Shackle lift until we invest in the 4" superlift or a SAS, but we did get some monroe coilover shocks and threw a set of 31" Firestone A/Ts on the stock 15x7s. In addition to the shackles I decided to also make a safari rack and front skid plate for it. Lot's more to come.

Because there are rarely any people in our area willing to bring their trucks onto any real off road terrain we set ourselves up for self recovery with a winch, Hi-lift jack, boards, spotlights, compact shovels and all that good stuff.

Anyone in NJ that wants to kick it in the sticks hit me up!

1st time in Wharton State forest after the new 31s. :)
