Added a cheap gun rack to it, rigged up a newish/haggard back cab light. Found the reason why my brake and anti rear lock light has been staying on. Tried the disconnecting the battery thing, no use. Checked a clip attached to the side where brake fluids go. Popped it loose and the lights went off, connected it again and lights came on. Popped it loose again and the damn clip turned to powder and fell apart, so I hope it doesn't effect the brakes.

From last night. After doing the self wash at the car wash and $6.25 later, it still looked like garbage. So I took it through the regular car wash when I remembered it was half off when you buy gas on Wednesdays! $20 later and a $10 car wash for only $5, and I got a quarter tank of gas and a nice clean truck!

Also, realized that A/Ts need to be put on before I try and continue going through mud haha it would've made it a lot easier last night! Either way it was a great time!

And a limited slip in the rear and you'll be good.

For my 2000 2WD could I put V6 F-150 coil springs on to lift the front?

Regular shocks don't lift a vehicle. They dampen road vibrations.

Why do people like putting f150 coils in there trucks? Why don't you just buy lift springs and do it right.
