New Member (2000 SR5 4.7L V8 AC)

Greetings TTE,

My name is Mike and I recently purchased a 2000 SR5 4.7L V8 AC with mid rise cap and 82k original miles. This truck is now my daily driver but was specifically purchased to build out a small camp kitchen with some sliding drawers and a sleeping area. I do a good bit of fly fishing and this will make getting out more often and further distances easier for me.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome from SoCal!

Thanks @Rgross2112 I'm in PA as well.

Thanks @Jim LE 1301! Heading up to NY tomorrow for some fishing

 

Welcome from Nevada

 

Thanks! @Ely010606

 

What part of NY?

 

Hancock, Fishing the Upper Delaware

 

I’ve made trips in the fall up to Pulaski for the salmon run, not any more, too pricey. What do you fish for in Hancock? Bass?

 

Welcome from So Cal

 

@Rgross2112 Trout! I've done Pulaski for Salmon once, it was a shit show lol.

 

Pretty amazing that you found a 00 with less than 100k miles! Sounds great!

 

@nordicfreak Honestly just right place at the right time, guy was selling it for his 94 year old father in law, in a lot with a sign in the window. Saw it the same time and got it for 11k. Feel super lucky, absolutely in love with this thing.

 

Completed the first round of my little camping fishing rig build out in this thing. Went with 3/4'' and this thing is not light. Looking for recommendations for something that will take some of the stress off of suspension as I plan to leave it in all the time. Sounds like an airbag spring kit in the rear might be the ticket? Thinking I'd want to run to separate fill lines to also be able to balance the truck for level camping, interested in any thoughts or advice folks may have.

Thanks in advance!

 

Yep, the last time 2017 did me in. Greed has ruined the experience

 

That is a sweet setup!

 

@Rgross2112 Thanks man! so far so good
