I bought a big toy
Well i was getting sick of my old work truck, a very tired 95 Sonoma 4x4. Still runs perfect but can't tow for crap. So i thought since my business is doing quite well i'd do a little upgrading.
   Sorry for the dark pics, the sun was going down. Anyway it's an 01 F-250 7.3L Powerstroke. Holy mother of god i love this damn truck. I was incredibly suprised at how well it drives. I figured a full leaf spring suspension would be really rough but it's pretty smooth. Especially on the freeway, cruising at 85 you definately don't feel like your going 85. In the Sonoma if your going 70 , it feels every bit of 70 and then some. What i find hilarious is the big bitch gets better mileage than the Sonoma haha. I think the best part is i bought it from an older guy, probably early-mid 60's, who was the original owner. Incredibly well maintained vehicle at a pretty good price. I must say i'm quite happy  |

Re: I bought a big toy
Do you do concrete bug? I've got a HUGE pour coming up. Three car garage pad with a nice big driveway *
 . Jays hopefullynot going to be at that house much longer. Always fun watching him move 100 trailers to get to the garage * . Now we need to see pictures of the OTHER toy. A couple mile walk in a rain storm without a riding partner SUCKS |

Re: I bought a big toy
I'll have to measure it up for you. I bought a house near the detroit zoo. Think the money pit. Need to rebuild one of the foundation walls also. Its a 104 year old farm house. So it has a few gremlins. We've got a few concrete guys who do some work for us on Section 8's, but no one I trust touching my personal house. I may even be able to provide you with some labor.

Re: I bought a big toy
Very nice truck! The 7.3 Diesel was a great choice. I have the 6.0 in mine.
 Some of the best mods are an aftermarket exhaust system or straight pipe and a programmer.
