Default f-250? pshhhh

Me and some friends where doing through the creek and came across two guys sitting in the bed of their truck. I pulled up and asked, "Yall ok?" They replied with"we got stuck." I said, "Don't worry, i am here" I backed the rover over and got the strap out. He asked....Is that fourwheel drive? I chuckled and replied "yes, is your's?" He said "well it was...but it broke." I put it in 4wd Low and pulled him out with ease. We all had a good laugh as he was trying to get the water out of his exhaust. I have some pictures from our trip to the creek. The f-250 pictured is not the one i pulled out but a friends. Its tough, but too long to trail ride.

Man you should have taken a pic of the truck you pulled out!

Pics look great!

Hopefully I'll be able to take mine out like that...

Question: Did you wash your truck right after that? I'm always afraid that I'll get dirt somewhere and it will be bad for my baby... I went in some mud once and now it makes this noise at only around 1700 rpms??? Could it be because of the mud?? It sounds like a belt is lose.. but it's not the high pitched noise you would normally hear..

Anyway, love the pics!

btw... these are pics of mine

I power wash the engine and the under carriage every time I go out. Your noise could be as simple as mud in one of your pulleys to mud somewhere in the brakes.

Bama,

Are those lights mounted to your front bumper or thru the grill?

the front bumper cover is taken off. (i know, i know) and i mounted those lights directly to the old wiring harness. But only do it if you are positive thats what you are going to do cause now i can't wire my old fog lights back up unless i do some more electrical work. Which is fine since my old lights got busted up. And if you hook anything up to the old wiring bump up the old fuse so it can handle 4 lights.
