Mounty71's Introduction
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2016 11:09 pm
I've been lurking here for quite a while now and I frequent some other similar forums so some of you may be familiar with my truck. My name's Matt and I have a '00 Mercury Mountaineer V8 I've slowly been building and enjoying for the last 13 years. I've always had a thing for old Fords and one day I know I'll own a Bronco, but we've had at least one Explorer in my family since I was a kid and I can't seem to shake my love for them. I won't go into much detail about it since it's pretty well documented on other parts of the internet, but here she is:
The basics of the current setup are a pieced-together 4.5"+ LT kit, custom Deaver pack, and a Bronco 8.8. While I have a ton of fun with my truck the way it is, I find myself heading more into the mountains than the desert these days and (call me crazy) I have dreams of conquering the Rubicon Trail, so I'll soon be getting started on a 4wd conversion by way of converting to TTB. I've been stockpiling parts for a while and doing as much research as I can fit into each day. I've already been able to find answers to many questions here and I know I'll have more. I'm also still on the hunt for some parts so I'll be on the lookout for those as well.
