Ive got a 2000 F250 that i bought as a 2wd but quickly found out that was a bad idea. After getting stuck on anything other than concrete, including wet grass, I started tinkering with the idea of converting in to 4wd. Ive upgraded injectors to 238/100s and dropped in a 38R and now my manual tranny just isnt able to shift as fast as id like.
Here is the truck right after I bought it...
Then I did a couple minor upgrades, got rid of the goofy mud flaps, tool box, added a chip and some exhaust.
Then the big changes came. I found an axle off of a 2001 4x4 that had rolled and decided to go ahead and replace all the suspension, front and back with a 4 inch lift
Then came the fun!
As with any project there were some unexpected bumps along the way...4 Wheel Parts (WHO I DO NOT RECOMMEND) gave me the wrong pitman arm for my gear box and we didn't realize it til i was 10 miles away trying to get an alignment done and it stripped out the pitman arm AND my gear box! I ended up eating the cost on both of those!!! They didn't offer another one or any type of compensation for my $120 tow bill either!!! 4 WHEEL PARTS=:badidea:
Got her all fixed up and then the finishing touches...

Now Ive just got to get my built 4x4 tranny and then come more motor mods :rockon:
