Official Weight

[95F350XL]

Decided to fianally bring my old engine and trans to recycling plant today. 351W missing 1 piston, and my E4OD with no vlave body parts which I forgot to throw into the truck, ended up being 640 lbs. Truck weighs 5780 with me in it empty. Lol. Heavy truck. Last time I was there it was more 36's are heavier then the 33's lol.

If you're like the rest of us, you are probably low on fuel, too

Lol, you know you are a _________ (fill in whatever) when you spend as much on your rims as the car is worth...

Damn dude! $200?! Find me a deal like that!!

 

[95F350XL]

Lol, yea if I could. I got it from my co worker. The alternator went in it, which killed the battery. His mom drives it. She swares that the trans was going but it was prob just the car dieing when the battery had enough. So I got an alt, and a battery and she runs great. Orig trans with 209K and it shifts better then my truck lol.

No can do. Didn't you notice the color?

 

[Skandocious]

Yeah, color is maroon, not rrrr..... rrr... you know.

Well the hooptie needed struts and mounts up front so I figured id throw some lowering springs in it also. The newer 17's made it sit too high and looked more goofey then it already is. So here are the new pics lol.

She is almost up to my standard.

 

[mrfixit]

All it needs now is ESCORT BADGES lol

 

[95F350XL]

Ive been thinkin about that lol. Escort GT had a turbo in Canada or the Prot GT i dont remember. Maybe its time to stuff a 302HO in it.

You're missing the point of a $200 beater... As long as it starts and stops, you aren't supposed to throw money at it except for gas.

Once "standards" come into play, it's a car, not a beater...and then you're in trouble, 'cause it's going to keep costing you.

Though, it may still be enough cheaper than your truck or 'Stang to be well worth it...

 

[95F350XL]

Lol i got a beater standard lol. Is that any better? Its not going to get too much money, just what it needs, and that was what it needed. Like the F350 needin 36's and long tubes lol.

 

[mrfixit]

Lol i got a beater standard

Say that too loud in some circles, and you'd wind up dead, in jail, or both!

 

[95F350XL]

Lol geeze. I better watch out lol.

I've heard of Toyota but Toyato?! NEAT! Lol.

 

[95F350XL]

Ha that thing is a pos. At least mine looks good lol, to an extent.

 

[Skandocious]

And I'm sure yours gets much better mileage. Plus I'm not driving to freakin Idaho to pick up a beater. 10x as much in gas as I will paying for the vehicle.
