Some mods are expensive and some are truly priceless.

Yes, this was free and probably what gives the most value to my truck - or at least my use of Soupie! =D

I proudly applied my 2024 dump sticker today and brought a few bags of yard cleanup in this year's first dump run (Kate got me a drone for Xmas, so maybe I should drone a dump run!). Me and Soupie, with guest influencer Cheech, becoming the next YouTube sensation ... one can dream ... =p

Not to say that I find joy in the little things, but I was pretty geeky when I was at the dump just before Christmas and asked if the 2024 stickers were available yet! And they were - best Christmas ever! =p

So, does this give you any perk's ? Does this mean they recognize you as a "Preferred Dumper" ?
An assigned special area for you to take your dumps ?
Or do they just give em out to anyone who has to take a dump ?

Does that mean you'll have a decked system for sale soon?

Asking for a friend. ?

No, the Decked is staying in. Between that and the utility of the SmartCap storage space, we are going to be swimming in it. Lucky for me too, another member here sold his Ranger and SmartCap, he couldn't sell the side bins (one full, one half) so I am buying them for a song. Should make storage concerns non-existent. I also have plans to build a custom cooler slide that will come out, then drop down so access to the cooler will be much, much easier.

Oh, I get the "nod" for Soupie when we roll up! =D

Not too many Race Red scabs who often have their mighty Cheech in tow. Let alone Soupie's distinctive, and oh so classy chain smile!

doubles as an engine step & curb feeler

It should be fixed now. Apparently, when you tag someone, there is a user ID and their name (the user ID happens behind the scenes) so you can fix one, but not the other. I just deleted the whole comment and rewrote it. That should be better. Don't worry, your account wasn't cloned, I just screwed up in a confusing way.
Not a problem, LOL! I just kept getting notifications and was thinking, wtf, that's not even me he tagged, LOL!

Some Forscan stuff:
-Switched to Ford Performance Logo ?
-Got rid of stupid double honk when engines running and key leaves vehicle
-Enabled silent mode (dark mode) for when getting out without lights flashing is prudent

I did notice the battery state of charge % was set for 75%. That was interesting since I thought I read they were using 70% from factory. They may be bumping that up a smidge.

I think Lariats were set for 75%. ?

Must be because of the Lariat’s extra amperage draw to power up the blinker fluid warmers in those fancy side mirrors.

Birthday oil change done today. My birthday so I celebrated by trying Pennzoil Ultra! Also had garage install black lug nuts. I had black center caps but despite Levittown Ford Parts saying it would fit, they do not.
I’ll make something with them. ?

Used #0000 steel wool and driven glass cleaner to deep clean the windshield. Yes, still scratched the glass but shouldn't be too noticable.(im at the point of just getting it replaced at this point due to severe wavy patterns)

Then installed wiper blades, again..

You can polish glass... With a polisher and glass polish.

I'm not convinced it polishes as much as it hides defects...

I like the car supplies channel...
