Made 4.5 hour drive over the mountains to pickup the topper I bought through the 5g classifieds. I’m super happy with putting the ford magnetic gray on my truck. Exactly matches my rims, bumpers and fender wells trim.

Now I just need decide How to turn it into my camping rig. Been watching a ton of YouTube videos.

First pic was just after I picked it up and second when I got home. Rained all the way home.

? I used to literally pump cow shit from dairy lagoons at farms and spread the liquid CS over their fields. I’d layout 300 feet of 4 inch hose using a 6 cylinder diesel pump with an 8 in intake pipe. The impact sprinkler had a 1.5 inch nozzle that would spray about 150 feet. Then slowly winch it in to the tractor.
I can talk shit with anyone after that.
BTW I used to dip Copenhagen snuff at the time. I would leave home with half a can and come home with a full can… go figure.. job perks I guess..
Well I drove my F100 Ranger to and from work..

Had insomnia last night so I thought why not get up at 4:00am and wash it. ?

It was really the only time I could do it anyways seeing it's still scorching hot here and easier to do now than later when the sun goes down and it's 110. Figured while I was at it I might as well hit it with more 303 Graphene Detailer too.?

Cheated on it. o_O:shock:

We're heading to MX (dentist) for the day so Annie can get her posts implanted and I can get my impression for mine done. I have so many points built up at Enterprise I rented this (free) Charger for the day. It was either this or a Chevy Malibu. ? I figured I give MP2 a rest after the long vacation. lol

Just finished blacking out my mirror lights and parking lights. Was super quick to do, and matches my exterior a lot better. I have the livernois tune arriving tomorrow as well, super excited. Just in time for a camping trip.

Driver side is easy. Passenger side sucks!
Yeah I had a "fun" time installing my LED high beam bulbs cause of it.

Next time I have to do it, I think I'll remove the entire assembly as it's easier to do than popping that snorkel out. I miss the old chevy S10s/silverados. Two pins, pop the headlamps out.... Boom, change bulbs in like, 10 seconds.

If you were closer I would. lol I actually love detailing it and usually try to do it a couple times a month. This heat had been brutal this yer and we finally had a morning that was only 82* so it was a perfect time. It was so dirty and still had bugs plastered on the front from our trip so I had to foam it twice.:oops:

How much you ask? ?

Today, I changed oil and filter, rotated tires, installed 20 McGard black lug nuts and 4 Advance Wheel lock black lug nuts, removed 3 of 4 skid plates and power washed the underside of my truck. I'm going to replace all the hardware for the skid plates, so they didn't go back on.

And I ordered a Fumoto valve to go on with the next oil change.

I hit 10k miles today.


That's it. Nothing else. Seats still suck and **** up my back after more than 5 minutes of driving... But hey, transmission hasn't blown up yet so thats something...

Finally joined recently - but have been reading since last year. Ordered my 22 Christmas week of 21 and it arrived April 20 2022.

Best truck i have ever owned - mostly because I got exactly what i wanted, not something off the lot.

Did not do anything today - but what i have done since last year
spent way too much money as everyone says - but i wanted it all
hood decal​
rollbar​
custom decal on rollbar sides​
bumper step​
tailgate and grille decals​
light on the rollbar - not fully wired yet​
what is sitting in the shop awaiting install
switch pro​
dash tray mounting plate​
putco freedom blade - going on the rollbar - not the tailgate​

and now i am perusing posts to see what else i want to do - i guess it never ends

Hi folks, new owner of a 23 XLT Tremor (had it a couple weeks, and I'm really loving it)
thanks to Ford Credit rewards points, I put in a bed mount swing-out storage box, the sling to keep my dog in the back seat, and burned off points and got the first aid kit and roadside assistance kit. I also just finished installing the smoked Ford emblem, front and rear. If I may add, I don't think it would be possible to include more vague instructions, and the front was a royal pain in the back side. (I did find the video somewhere here which showed how easy the back replacement was). While working on the front, I managed to drop only 2 bolts and 1 plastic clip retainer, too!
No pictures of the rear right now, it's too dark out to take a decent one

Installed my Magnaflow Overland exhaust today. Bit of a pain in the ass since I’ve only done exhausts on motorcycles previously and had to go buy deep sockets and a hanger tool, but pretty happy with the end result.

One reason I really like this exhaust is that you can adjust the sound level with parts they include. I left off the NDT resonator and just capped the extension pipe off the muffler for now, so if it gets annoying or my wife starts getting irritated with me I can quiet it further. Sounds good right now though! ?

How do you like it, since you have some time on it?

Considering one, but I am not quite the exhaust installation specialist so I may need to find a friend who is.

-btw, I am in the East Bay too. Near Concord.
