As some of yall know, this past October I picked up a 1988 Ford F150 XLT Lariat 4x4. Last Friday I had pipes run on it. I got true duals, all 2 1/4" pipe, Heartthrob glasspacks, and 3" stainless steel tips. Sunday my friends all pitched in and helped me lift it. It's a 4" Rough Country lift kit with coils up front and blocks in the back. Monday I got a new set of 15x10" chrome Pacer wheels put on a set of 33x12.50x15 General Tire M/T's I purcahsed from a fellow forum member. I absolutely love it!! It's exactly what I wanted and pictured when I bought the truck. I owe so much to my friends. They put in A LOT of work on this thing and I can never thank them enough.
Now for the pics!

Thursday I took it off road for the first time since the lift. Mostly trail riding and mud pits. We also used it to pull a couple stumps in a part of the woods where we were cutting a new trail. It did great! It flexed really well and the M/T's made a world of difference over the old BGF A/T's I had on there. I got stuck in one part of the trail and couldn't get it out forwards cause I slid into some ruts. My friend who's land we were on told me to back out. I was having trouble doing that so he just yells "you're gonna have to gun it" so I did, and bam... come flying out of the hole right into a tree. Just to add insult to injury it was the same damn tree that got my front bumper too. hahaha I tore the back one up BAD though.

pulling stumps to clear out a new section of trail.
