Back in a Ford

TexasPlatinum · Sep 2, 2015

Well, after 7 months of being in a Duramax I realized that wasn't for me. In February I traded my 2012 6.7 King Ranch in on a 2015 High Country Duramax, put a retarded amount of money into it and realized I wanted another Ford. Used to be on here as 2008Badlander but cant login to that account so im making a new one.

Anyway, traded the Duramax in on a 2015 Platinum this past Saturday. It is leveled, tinted, and has some Fuels on it now. Will be going to 22s and 35s on it and removing some of the extra weight under the truck very soon. Also, I'm from Victoria, Texas but working in Carrizo Springs.

Here's my old 6.7

Here's the Duramax I traded in

Nice trucks. I have family down in Edna, just north of Victoria and I was born in Carrizo Springs.

All nice trucks. I'm from Inez. Cool to see other people from the area

Thanks guys! The duramax was nice, but I think the Platinum is nicer!

TexasPlatinum · Sep 3, 2015

Edna and Inez are right around the corner from me! I technically live in Mission Valley so you may know where that is.

I spent a lot of time in Three rivers, Victoria and Carrizo Springs for work and cant say I miss it much. Welcome to PSA, looks like you've had some nice trucks!

I think I had 1500 in it with the lightbars. I didnt get their bars, I got some 40s off ebay for like 200 bucks

Badass man! Welcome from Houston!

I know the feeling of dumping a lot of money into a truck hahah.

How did you like the STMW on your old 6.7? Thinking about picking one up

Definitely worth the money. If I wasn't picking up a Tough Country bumper so cheap I'd definitely be getting another STMW.

Sweet! Which light bars did you run? I'm trying to decide if I should do Ridgids or go with a slightly cheaper setup. Definitely not eBay

TexasPlatinum · Sep 4, 2015

Rigids were too much lol. Ebay special for me, they worked great and were bright enough for me. They even had a warranty, but I never had any problems with them.
