Mine was last year, I live 2700 miles away so I didn't make it. My friends comment when he went to his was "I wish I knew everyone was sending their parents, I had nothing in common with them." :blush:

I haven't had anything in common with my high school class since we graduated.

So was mine. This year we had another get together at a park, "The Class of 71 is 71". We had a 50th birthday party too. That was at a bar owned by a classmate. Man, I feel old!

I have a lot of friends form HS I still keep in touch with and see on occasion but I have no desire to go to any go the reunions. Probably because I hated school and couldn't wait to graduate. The day after I graduated my dad gave me 3 choices....."You're going to school, the service or getting a job" he said. I got a job and never looked back! lol

My goal was to improve all around performance on my FX4, without impacting mileage and daily drivability, as well as keeping it stock looking enough that the average person wouldn't notice. It got Eibach Pro-Truck shocks and struts. Just went with the 3/4 inch lift on the front. Very noticeable improvement over the FX4 parts on fire roads and potholes. Improved the handling a good bit. Added the grill (Ford PN) just because I liked it and Diode Dynamics driving light kit for Rangers to help see the wild life that wonder every where. Deer, coyote, bobcats and javelinas with the occasional bear or mountain lion as well. Thanks to a wheel weight destroying one of my mostly worn OEM Hankooks, I had 4 new Continental Terrain Contact AT's in 265/70x17 put on. About 1/2" wider than stock and a good inch taller. Never heard of the category but they are on road all terrains. Puts them between all season and AT. Seems quiet so far and feels a little smoother on rough pavement. Very happy with the way it turned out.

I like it. Less is more and your truck looks good Dave the way that it is. Thank you for your help with the lights in the bumper on my truck. I know that they are not what you have and suggested. But they work and look good to. Thank you for contributing to the mild build up of my truck.

You're welcome! I went with Rough Country lights, they are what Lone Star Conversions could get. I let them know when I started buying stuff for my truck that this was a budget minded build lol.

The last step is selling it, and buying a new thing to tinker with. Looks good and good luck not doing anything else to it lol.

For all of you who laughed at the "Last Step" in the title. :LOL: I blacked out everything I could. Ford badges, decals, lights, etc. Added a set of OLM headlights that were really cheap on Ebay. I guess you could say I got what I paid for with those as they are malfunctioning bad enough that they are getting replaced with a set of AlphaRex Nova's soon.
