Alitte bio first. :

this is my first truck so i figured i would make it the best out there(in my opinion lol). IM currently for the next 6 months @ Ft Polk, La. ( active duty army). But also have family in houston so i will be there just about every chance I get so would like to meet up with other Lighting owners. ( some houston people might know me from the car meets with my v6 stang ( listed below)

Well i joined a few weeks back when I was looking to buy a new toy. Found 35thpony truck and started talking to him back and forth and he made the whole ordeal go very smooth and as fast as he could on his end.

I have a 2005 S197 v6 Turbo with heads and Cams thats getting a make over at a the moment. So i decided I wanted a new toy. I have some old pics but ill post pics of it in the shop LOL.

Nothing better then a Turbo Beast

I have some pro style pics finished up of the Truck but I gotta wait to post those as i still have to make another post on my stang board.

As T.Gear.Head said I will take good care of it. Nothign to hack away at expect routine maintance and a few things i have to get serviced.

Well to cut this short here are some quick pics i took when i picked the truck up :

and heres a few teasers of the stanp at PMP shop in North Car.

Nice rides and welcome to the site. You are gonna love that truck man. I've got a little sports car to and I don't even drive it anymore because I am always in the L. Enjoy!

Looks great... It should be in the 630 range on 17# and pump gas.
