Hey guys just joined here...My husband and I fish IBSP...Heres are buggy on da beach

Welcome !
VERY NICE TRUCK!. Thats the crew cab i guess. Looks very roomy. Ive been noticing Fords more and more.When my Toyota finally gives out, this may be the next truck I look at. Have not decided on a color yet though.
Best of Luck with it. Im sure your family will share some very memorable and happy times with it on the beach in the coming seasons.

thanks, weve had the kids on IBSP this past year in october when we had those few warm days, they loved it, I didnt get much fishing in, but my husband went out on the jetty and fishing while we played

its a nice truck, we just got it...hubby is a chevy man, but he liked this ford ;) since we have 3 kids it works well...he wasnt sure about how good the 4 wd was but it proved to be really good on the sand even the soft areas...(from going around stuck ppl)

i am still wondering how ppl get those huge RV's out there...i've seen a couple of them with 4wd, nice! I told hubby thats my next vehicle

Very Nice..
I have a 98 150 ex cab short bed, run it in the sand here on CC.
I air down my fronts to 12#, rears to 10#, goes anywhere.
I use it a lot to fish the beaches here.

I also run a 4X4 motorhome... only problem, is work interferes, but my wife and kids get to use it a lot

97 Jeep 5.2 V-8. Not as cool as my old Wagoneer but love it anyways.

Nice truck Femangler! ;) Which engine do you have: 4.6 or 5.4? Ford makes some great trucks. I've been eyeing up the F-250/F-350 with the PowerStroke for some time now, but just can't seem to justify the $43k+ to the Mrs.

And I see you 'aired down'!

Surfster: Sweet truck and front rack! How is engine cooling with that cooler? Seems kinda high and blocks air flow to the rad.

First I'd like to apologize for stepping on some toes. I forgot this was a buggy forum and didn't mean to post mine under someone elses post! Should have started my own thread!

I'll do that now. Again sorry for stepping on Ford toes! BTW nice rig!
