Forum Newbie from Cali

eponator · 12-11-2008, 12:27 PM

Hey guys, I've already posted a few times here on the forum but I finally got around to making an intro post!!

My name is Mark I'm from the LA area in Cali, I'm 23, and I love to go offroadin! I've owned a fair share of vehicles but my trucks are always my favorites! Previously I was riding around in a 87 standard cab longbed F350 with the old 8.1L Diesel. Me and my dad spent 2 years rebuilding that thing to where it started almost immediately on cranking!! I miss that truck b ut love my current beast. Right now I drive a 99' F350 4v4 Crewcab longbed (pics below) and this guy is my dream truck!!... minus the lack of diesel power that is

I've been drawing this truck since I was in elementary school and ever since I bought him from the GSA Auction 2 years ago I have been pouring nothing but love and sweat into em (besides the other necessary fluids of course!).

My father taught be everything I know about cars / trucks and has assisted me in everything up untill now! This truck is my first "Just me" real project. I've built a nice Dodge Intrepid (that was my sleeper) and had allot of fun racing around with that back in my younger years but theres allot more in mind for my truck.

B.B.M.F. ... Big Blue Mother F****R (my sister / friends named em) was originally bare stock (Government saves money this way I guess) with nothing power except the steering

. So far I've installed power windows / locks (Man it was fun running all those wires!) an alarm system w/ keyless ignition and my full custom built system (all accessories were hand picked and installed by me not some shop!) I've dropped a K&N cold air intake under the hood along with the Platinum 4 plugs but thats about all the engine work I've been able to do (limited only by $$)

Theres allot more in store for him I just need the time and cash HAHA! I'm glad to be a part of this forum and look forward to learning much and helping in any way I can!! I may not know all the technical terminologies but am very eager to learn and offer my assistance whenever possible! Looking forward to talkin trucks with you guys!
