[QUOTE="OBSprerunner, post: 1377511, member: 25716"] Hello all, My name is Matt, I'm from Orange County, CA. Nice to finally register on PSA. [IMG]https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13178859_10208330520153660_8806001532805754349_n.jpg?oh=d3f87e8cc3c3503adc1e88f7ba03249b&oe=57C8F19A[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13321808_10208514249586781_738165752203485799_n.jpg?oh=5131e3a31f371506c9f779b17a9d9a46&oe=57E4362C[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13315541_10208514249506779_7876320326485172443_n.jpg?oh=41fdf6973bee48fe7738082c56f305a5&oe=57D20A60[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13339458_10208514249546780_4761506358933393636_n.jpg?oh=6e855161c17be13535fbd898ac3e993f&oe=580F91EB[/IMG] Little about the truck: 1996 F-350 XL Crew Cab Long Bed, 2WD, 5-speed. 356k miles as of now. Purchased the truck in VERY clean condition, was maintained well by the company I got it from. Owned it since December, put about 2000 miles on her and haven't had any major issues. Being from Southern California, I grew up around prerunners and desert trucks. I've built a few of my own previously, but always wanted a big diesel Ford that had the prerunner look, and the capabilities to get me around my favorite desert destinations. I wanted to keep the truck true to it's era, a 90's OBS prerunner. I owned a 97 4x4 prior to this for a few months, but sold it because of impending automatic trans issues. Found the manual truck a day later. Front suspension is 100% custom, chromoly extended radius arms, equal length and extended 1976 F-350 I-beams, King coilover conversion in the coming months. Steering is extended, but I have a swing-style steering setup in mind. Truck is sitting at about stock 2WD height, but thanks Hanneman Fiberglass fenders, I can stuff the tires and still turn lock to lock. Rear of the truck is near stock, but will be adding airbags and new shocks to make towing easier. Currently on 37" Toyo M/T's, Ultra Type 164 chrome 8-hole wheels. Exhaust is 4" straight pipe, stock downpipe for now, 6637 Intake mod, PHP Hydra with the 14 canned tunes they offer for the manual 96. Truck has a ham radio built into the stock ashtray area, and I've got a 2 gauge pod A-pillar. Planned mods: Prerunner style tube front bumper with skid plate 5 round HID auxiliary lights on the bumper Chase rack with spare tire and fuel can mounts Amber cab/clearance lights Baby swamp injectors Banks Intercooler system EBPV gutted pedestal 3" Downpipe E-fuel King coilovers in front (lifted about 3 inches) King reservoir shocks in the rear New 3" lifted leaf spring pack in the rear Airbags in the rear 40/60/40 bench seat in front Regear to 4.10 (currently 3.55) On Board Air compressor Auxiliary in bed fuel tank with nozzle I'm sure there's more, but I can't think this late lol Little about me: I'm 26 years old, been working in the Off Road industry for 4 years now, but have been an enthusiast for many years. I'm the owner and founder of a small business called Off Road Trader, LLC, which is a website that is a 100% free service to the off road community in the USA for buying and selling their off road parts and vehicles. Think of it as a classifieds site for trucks and Jeeps and everything in between. I'll post a link below. I also work full-time as a Tech Line Specialist for Magnaflow Exhaust. It's my day job, and I love doing it. Between the regular job and my business, I enjoy my spare time in the desert with friends, surrounded by dirtbikes, jeeps, trucks, and all things off road. I bought a diesel truck so that one day, I can build another prerunner have a tow rig ready to go. Thanks for all the info, as I know I'll be asking many questions about my old girl!
