Thanks. I will probably stick with the stock rims and make em shine during the summer. I would be tempted to buy some to nice rims for cheap though.

Over 24 inches of snow in spring. I was not stuck in these pictures but I got high centered later.

Oh man, I would so be out playing in that snow. Lol. You need a L/S! Then you wouldn't have gotten stuck at all.

Lol. My dad won't let me go out to play! I'm proud of my truck though. It barely got stuck while I saw so many full sizes in the ditch and stuck.

My dad had to make an emergency run to lowes and I waited in my truck for him. While I was waiting I saw a guy in a ridgeline go through the biggest snow drift in the parking lot. Needless to say, he got stuck. I would of towed him out but he already had someone on their way.

Trucks in rough shape. It has a bad cylinoid, shot vacuum hoses, and a leak in the differential. At least $1100 dollars in repairs. ):

What happened?

I would think you could do most of that yourself for A LOT cheaper. Vacuum hoses would just be pulling the old ones off and hooking the new ones up. Solenoid, depending on which one it is, would probably be fairly simple. Differential is probably just the gasket, so that would also be an easy fix.

During our huge storm I noticed that 4x4 would just kick out. And I got stuck at school because no 4x4. I told my dad it was that the hubs weren't engaging (hense the vacuum hoses). I said let's just buy manual hubs but no, he takes it into ford. My dad won't do anything to a vehicle by himself. He says "I'd rather have the professionals do it" but then he complains to me about the price.
