I intended to do a members' ride for my truck way back when I bought it, but just never got around to it.
I did not buy this truck brand new! I bought it nearly new, but in now way did I pay what the original window sticker for this thing said. I found it at a Hyundai dealership in one of the towns in the DFW metroplex. I guess they'd had it for a couple of months and they had a killer price on it! It has LITERALLY every single option you could possibly select on the King Ranch 601A package with the lone exception of the extendable towing mirrors. That means it has heated/cooled/massaging seats, 360-degree camera, automatic parking, powered running boards, heavy duty towing package, FX4 off-road package (used to mean Rancho shocks but now only gets you flimsy skid plates) and so much more! I've never even driven a nicer vehicle, much less owned one (to be fair, the bank owns about half of it).
It's been bone stock for a while, but I'm getting ready to start with a few upgrades. I'm from Texas, and I'm white trash, so it will be getting a lift. But not excessive. Just a couple of inches up front, and possibly 1.5 in the back, just to clear larger tires.
Anyway, here are a few pictures.
I drove through an old rice field after a rain with highway tires. Needless to say, traction was an issue and I flung mud onto every surface of this thing.
Parked it in front of my fiancee's parents' house to let the rain wash it off overnight. Surprisingly, the HOA didn't say anything.
I really like the wheels that came on the '04-'08 Roush F-150 as they are true chrome and not the PVD coating they're doing these days. The PVD flakes and chips off and looks horrible if you're standing closer than 15 feet to the truck. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent the money upgrading wheels. Alas, I found a set for CHEAP here in Houston and picked them up. I'm going to buy tires soon, but the size I want is a somewhat obscure size, so I'm shopping around.
I have more pictures that we took back when the truck was purchased, but I don't have them uploaded yet. I'll do that this week.
