So the grandson and I are working on a little truck for him to drive when he gets old enough. I discussed this with his mom....dad isn't actively participating so someone has to take up the slack.
Anyway, I presented him with the idea to learn to do mods and build something he can drive when he...
After going thru the warranty process and refusing the first replacement for the same line in the molding.... I got my drivers door panel replaced under warranty and am very happy with this one. I had no idea they were so expensive.. retail on their warranty ticket was $642..WOW
Is anyone who tows on a regular basis that is "pushing the envelope" for tongue weight using any sort of air bags or air shocks to help the "SQUAT"? If so what are you using and where did you find/purchase them? Thanks
I was actually on TV last night.. an early BD present to me... lol
I was on Discovery channel, Memphis Street Outlaws JJ da Boss Arm Drop show.
I actually crew one of the cars of the show on a full time basis.. Dennis Bailey's Silberback Gorrilla Camaro.
They came to the shop and filmed us...
My Blend Mount for the Escort 360 came in today. It looks to be a real nicely manufactured piece. Install took about 5 min with the hex wrench they provide. It seems sturdy enough and with the weight of the 360 it appears that it will work quite nicely. It basically is a C style clamp machined...
Pulled the trigger on the bed lighting kit from Ford. I opened it up and looked it over but decided to wait to install it when I could get on it and stay on it until completion. The instructions, ALL 26 PAGES, seem to be pretty clear. Install time says 45 min... I'll believe that when I see it...
I normally turn it off anyway... but I forgot today while I was driving.. It took me a while to notice it.. the indicator comes on when at a full stop but the engine doesn't shut off.. Guess I'll swing by Ford next week and get them to take a look.. Has this happened to anyone else?
So I took my first road trip today. Maintained posted speed limits pretty much 70mph. As you can see..the ACTUAL mpg is nowhere NEAR the advertised! So far my only gripe with the truck..j/s
I inquired if they would be offering a kit for the new Ranger and we exchanged emails and I was told that their current kit for the 09-14 F150 is the correct length and would work. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet but wanted to get this info out for anyone interested. The kit is $59.95 It...
I went ahead and ordered the drivers side grab handle kit. 30-45 day delivery time. We shall see what the quality is when it gets here. I'll post back whenever that is.
It FINALLY quit raining here so I knocked out the leveling kit this morning. TOTAL time was right at 3 hours. Understand I had NEVER done one and was OVERLY cautious. The instructions are pretty straight forward. First off raise and level the front of the truck.. don't try to raise just one side...
As title line states.. I added a Ford bed mat to the Ranger today. Pt # KB3Z-A-A . That spray in bed liner is nice but a tad hard on the knees. This should help with that problem.
As stated in the title line my RC kit arrived today..IF it will ever quit raining in Tn I'm hoping to get it installed soon.. more pics to follow.. stay tuned.
