Getting nickeled and dimed by F150
Man am I getting sick of it. I have a '93 F150 4X4 which I have dumped too much money into recently.
New 4X4 hubs
New front brakes, rotors and bearings
Full engine rebuild (302 V8)
New dual gas tanks
Rewelded bed supports
New tube headers and exhaust
Used offroad tires
Today I noticed the passenger front end is sitting a little lower than the drivers side. I pulled the tire off and noticed the shock and spring tower, which is welded to the frame rail, has rusted way and collapsed. I feel like I keep getting kicked in the teeth by a truck which sees little use but to pick up hay and drive through the snow. I am thinking of cutting my losses as I could be making vehicle payments with what I have spent on this truck the past 12 months.
Rant over.
