I saw this page for the first time today....even though I joined months ago.
Wow. Missed that one. Anyway.....
Name is James.
I had an 01 F-250 4x4 V-10 Super cab that I bought new in Dec. of 2000...then I traded it in for my new 2005 6.0L after I drove a friend of mine's 04 6.0L and was VERY impressed (and that was bone stock). Had to have one; and it had to be a King Ranch; period. I waited until Dec. of 2004 and took the plunge. Saved up and started basic mods in March of 06.
This is my dream truck that I have wanted/waited for......even though I wish Ford would wise up and spray that COOL blue color that they did in the mid- 90's and 2003!!!!!!
My truck info:
2005 F-350 Fx4 6.0L CC King Ranch.
4" SS Diamond Eye turbo back exhaust with Aero Turbine SS muffler and 5" polished tip.
Edge Juice w/ Attitude for tunes & guages and SCT XCAL2 for controlling the tranny (all of the above installed by a local shop).
6" Fabtech radius arm kit with traction bars and 37" Cooper tires w/ 17" Moto Metal 951's.
I am an operation manager for a successful private lumber company based out of Portland, Oregon and have worked there for 14 years. I got my BS degree from PSU in 1995 in the Administration of Justice but like my job enough to have remained where I am (excellent work environment & upper management, good pay and job security).
I enjoy riding quads (Yamaha YFZ 450 and a Banshee) & camping with our toy hauler as well as competing in table tennis tournaments, working out and playing basketball periodically.
Married my highschool sweetheart in 1992 and we have 2 children (11 and 9).
She works for Kaiser and we both share a side-business to help pay for the toys.
....and I think that just about covers it!
Thx,
-James

Thanks all!
Mikeym; Sounds good. I sold my 01 raptor to get the YFZ. Raptor was a blast but was too topheavy IMO. Do you have the new fuel injected Raptor 700? I'll keep ya in mind!!!

yep, shes fuel injected. its not as agile as the yfz, but im too fat for mx anyways, i ride trails and drag, and love having reverse. we're tryin to figure out the nitrous on it now, but adam can vouch for its speed. cough cough, ironically his 450 is on ebay now...

the raptor (yellow), yfz (black), and the brute force
