YES!
Ham Radio is GREAT as an auxiliary or amending hobby. It really enhances a lot of other hobbies. But there are these F-ing Purists that just want to sit in their homes, rag chew on the 160 meter band with a guy that lives 5 miles away. Then they poop all over everyone else. It is sad...
Wasn't that an AMAZING blast of cool?
We were at the Anthem, AZ 3rd of July Fireworks Display and it went crazy cool on us. Perfect weather.
Only downside was it doubled the size of the #TigerFire with all of the wind and pushed it closer...
Yes it needs airflow, but low and near the hot tarmac it is the least valuable air flow because it is hot already and that intercooler behind it needs protection. Even with just normal driving it for a few months, I had some rock dings back in there. Covered it with a Putco Insert.
GODDAMNIT! There is literally ZERO reason Ford couldn't do this here in the states. The Aussies get all the cool stuff:
Wild Tracks
Bed Shutters
The Beegees
Mad Max
Nicole Kidman
AGGGGGH! All we get are open beds and the Kardasians.
One upon a time I had a truck. It was a 2007 Nissan Titan. Real nice Texas Edition. Gas hit $4.50 a gallon and the sticker on that truck said the estimated MPG was 10. I was babying it for 14.
I decided to sell it because it was 5.6 liters of go go and a giant vehicle for just carrying me...
We just got back from Dallas TX a week ago. Mom and Dad live on Lake Ray Hubbard. Sure our humidity is up but I'm still thanking God that it it isn't like Texas, by the water, with a huge canopy of oak trees humid.
By the way -on the way into Sky Harbor Airport in East Economy Covered Parking...
Here lately we have gotten to the really fun part of an Arizona Summer. You know the part where it's 115°F in the shade. Air temps coming off the asphalt in full sun are significantly higher. I've seen 122°F on the dash while driving. It's so hot that the Auto Start/Stop Feature has stopped...
Did you see all the cool shit they did to make the Maverick's bed useful???!!!???
And we have to pay $93.27 for a set of tie-downs that should have come with the truck in the first place? Da Fuuuuu****?
I'll toss this out there too - My Auto Start Stop quit working again the other day so I flipped over to the Fuel Economy display and looked at why. It said Outside Temp Too High. It was 94 degrees. I'm in Phoenix Arizona. Do you know how many nights we have where the low at Midnight is still...
No but I've received a lot of compliments on how tough my truck looks (and it's really pretty stock except bigger tires). Started out from guys. Then I started getting ladies commenting on it. Now I'm getting young girls at the gas station commenting on it. Only green I see is in my wife's...
So it looks like your skid plate skidded.
I'm not seeing the issue here?
It is there to "take one for the team." That doesn't mean it looks factory fresh all nice and cherry when it's done doing it's job. I'd say your plate is fine. Did it's job like it should and has lots of life left in it.
