I used to have one of the 1988 state troopers editions.....I made that paxton sing....when I bought the car at a state auction I only paid $150 for it back in 98.....heck of a steal for a car that only had 120k on it and needed tires badly....
Yea, it had brakes lol. Had to get rid of it tho. They changed the height laws many times and it became illegal to drive on the road. Constantly getting pulled over ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.f150online.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
The lowest part of the frame was right under the cab, I recall being around 2' from the ground there and by law I could only be 22 1/2 inches. Tried smaller tires, but it didn't look right. Sold it out right to a dealership who installed Mickey Thompsons tires to take the height down to legal limits. Those tires didn't look that bad, they were smaller in diameter, but like 19" wide lol.
I could of have done the same, but! - I would have still been pulled over and checked. You had to watch those guys measuring, - neither could hold a tape straight.

The kind of stuff that is difficult to stop eating, once you start.
Cooked my own dinner last night. A buger patty made from 1/2 lb of ground round, well seasoned fried in a skillet with chopped onions sauteed. Topped with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, lettuce and tomatoe. Potato chips. It was a bit messy but sure was good. I let the wife clean up.

The little girl and I fixed up some smoked pork chops last night along with boiled potatoes and French cut green beans....
