Do you have the PMF on your truck? Great looking kit and very nice price. Will be researching them closer for sure. Thanks

rolltidediesel · May 25, 2016

Oh also, I have done the Sinister EGR kit. Added Flo Pro 4" pipe. Installed a S&B CAI. And also got a H&S Mini. Looking at possibly at a FASS system next. And a gear set for the added lift and tires.

Forget fass-go with h&s motor sports.

rolltidediesel · May 25, 2016

Thanks sootie. Ill look over to them as well.

Wasn't trying to pick bud, I'm not one to go beat on my truck off-road either. There are better suited vehicles for that lol. In fact mine almost never leaves the pavement and I'm ok with it. The whole giant lift on an IFS truck just never did anything for me that's all. Neither of your builds look bad..in fact the jeep is kickass.

Naw bud. Didn't take any comments negatively or to heart. Its a forum so its open market to conversation. I was utilizing forums a lot in the past. But my years of wrench turning and not so nice language I realized that unless you have been directly involved, it can sometimes become speculation on different modifications. Heck when I did my 69 Camaro build folks said I was crazy to put a COMP CAM in it and was taking away the true heritage. But for me it was what I wanted to do haha!

Hey, what the word from folks that have them on the skyjacker 8.5"? From Truck Trend, they noted positive remarks on it.

1: The Center caps comment was for the F150, not for the Jeep. I actually like the Jeep, it's practical for what it's made for, but I'm sorry there's no way in HELL you can convince me or anyone else that the F150 was capable offroad.
2: I was referring to the crowd that you're being associated with when you put a stupid impractical lift on a truck: The Daddies Money Crowd. I served 14 years in the Navy before a spine dislocation, glad to meet you.
3: Don't worry you can't piss me off, I've found humor helps in some of the sh!ttiest situations you can/can't imagine, so most of my comments are just good natured ribbing, you know, like we did in the military

At the end of the day, nothing anyone writes on here has any bearing on my life.
4: I didn't write the rules on how a truck is supposed to be used, I'm just sharing the general feeling on the look you're going for.
5: In no way did I mean any offense, but if you took it that way and felt the need to defend yourself: You may have a hard time here.
6: You're right, you're you and you know what you like, and my opinion doesn't mean crap. Build whatever you're going to build, paint it pink and put blue dicks all over it, doesn't matter to me, but I will comment on it! Lol
7: Don't put anything that says: FASS on your truck...
8: :toast:

1.The F150 wasn't built to be off-road capable. But to say use is none, would be laughable.
2. Isn't any lift technically impractical? Isn't any mods impractical? But yet we all are impractical spenders and buy crap we dont "need". But its the thrill and fun of it that just drives us. I guess all us gear heads should just give up and invest in government spending...LMFAO!!
3. To true. I think to many folks get wrapped around the axle with comments from random folks they have no clue who they are nor their experience. Also, thanks for your service and I feel you on injury. 5 deployments and now L4 bulge, SI damage and spinal arthritis. I feel you pain...pun intended LOL
4. I appreciate that response. Straight and to the point. I say, dont post on a forum unless you are willing to hear criticism.
5. Read #4 and I feel that I was only responding not doing the classic,

rant haha!
6. Interesting you went to dicks first....hey no judgement from me..Air Force now has training for that LOL!!!
7. Good to know. Seems to be the Starter jacket theme. Cool styles but fell apart after a few months...you know what I'm talking about. Dont act like you didnt have one

8. Finally, no way I could get frustrated right now. Just got notification I made E7:rockon:

int:

Notneb · May 26, 2016

Damn E7 in the Chair Force, you must have stood like... 1 watch or something... Jk jk, gotta give you flyboys crap...

You know us Navy guys, all about the D... phrasing... And I'm glad that you didn't build the F150 for offroading, I've got flip flops that have more off-road capability...

I'd have to argue that the mods we do to our trucks now are much more practical than a huge lift. For instance, all my mods aren't for power, but reliability. D3leting the EGR,DPeff, CCV and stock IC piping all addresses reliability issues. Sure the side effect is sweet sweet power, but I'm also not shoving oily soot into my engine.

Like you said, you're new to diesels, there's more to these trucks than just making power. But again, if you're just learning from FB, the general Daddies Money crowd thinks 700hp on stock internals with boost coming on at 1200rpms is juuuust fine...

I get that you're doing your own thing, everyone has their own style. But come on, that F150 just deserves to be ripped on!

swinky · May 26, 2016

Air force..... lol

So what they didn't let you fly planes anymore so you decided you'd lift your pickumup trucks and pretend?

The F150 was the heat:redspotdance: Pretend what? A truck could ever match a true off-road machine like a jeepster HAHA! No truck belongs on rocks or canot handle it with the elegance they can. You say Chair Force, I say from my last northern Iraq tour, Navy folks complain cause they gotta stay in a tent

ointlaugh: Naw, we all play a part for real. On the internals, I ain't trying to hit no 700hp. Even the knowledge I have would know that is just silly. I'm happy with about 500 and a nice stance. Don't need to go to baseball and football practice with kidos at breakneck speed. Besides, if your important people will wait

So when are you lifting your truck?

Notneb · May 26, 2016

We all said "500 is enough" at one point...

rolltidediesel · May 26, 2016

Im planning to order within the month. Still debating on tires on tires too. To true. We thinks it enough but once that is reached you think, what's another 100hp. It's a snowball affect lol

rolltidediesel · Aug 25, 2016

Update to the truck. Just ordered the 8.5" skyjacker, 22x12(-51) AWOL Death metal, 37x13.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Big thanks to Chris from Diesel Ops making it a smooth purchase. Hopefully, will get stuff in next week and start install next weekend.

rolltidediesel · Sep 1, 2016

Got lift installe. Getting rims and tires done now. Not a bad install even without a lift. 3 areas that took a bit was the pitman arm, brake line extension bracket and lastly was getting the 4link withen specs to at least make it capable to drive to alignment shop. All the parts are solid and instructions where good but could use a little more details. Will post up pic when new rims and tires get on.
