I agree! I’m still a ways from retirement. I have two trucks, an old beater (02 F150 253,000 ml.) for hauling firewood, trips to lumberyard, quarry, etc. Last year I bought a super clean (02 F350 7.3L CC DRW 8’ box) in anticipation of buying my first TC and then later a 5th wheel.
But even now- what’s my truck do? Keeps me busy!!!! But is turning out sweet:
Pulled Bed, replaced support channels
Dropped tank / hutch-Harpoon Mod
Added Load Lifter 5000 air bags on back
Pulled rear axles, new seals, new rotors, new calipers, new brake hoses, brake job
Pressure wash, wire brush, paint frame (POR-15)
Pull front axles (4WD)
New u-joints, New hub bearings, rebuild auto lock hubs, Timbrens on front
New brake calipers, hoses, brake job
Tuner with tow modes
Mishimoto A/T cooler, gauges (Pyro, AT temp, Boost, Fuel Pressure, Scan Gauge 2)
Built a custom front mount for snow plow & 17,500# winch (farm use)
Ahhh - the. $$$$$$$$$ tcost to go camping ?? Still better than the sticker shock of a new truck- Lol
Getting ready to build custom frame mounted hold downs.
Been looking at new Palominos like the HS 8801 so I can still pull my 18’ fish & ski. Plan is to visit the dealer this Fall!
