I would of asked me the same question hah! I have an MS251 that I usually play with. However, I like to try new things and this m18 chainsaw has really impressed me. I like not having the standard issue 2 stroke stench when I go to bed camping and not having to keep another can of gas on the truck is pretty nice. The Milwaukee is compact, has the power to save my butt in the woods and it’s always ready to go.
I have two friends with electric saws and the new technology is pretty good - can't cut as big of wood as with a gas saw, but they are pretty impressive. One of the saws even has an interesting chain design where you can sharpen it on the saw while it is running. The running time on them just keeps getting better and better, too.

The two cycle smell can be pretty intense for sure.

Until you’ve tried one of the new battery powered saws you wouldn’t believe how well they work and how long a battery lasts! I know they won’t replace a gas saw for everything but they do a damn good job for what they are. This thread got off topic in a hurry! Lol
I have used them and they are amazing for what they are. And yes, I'm sorry, I made this thread take a wrong turn....

Back on track: I installed the studs on the Rough Country 2.5 in spacers for the front coil overs. Should get them installed next week.

Hi Folks,
Some of you might think I'm crazy or nuts, today I took off the wheels (one at a time) washed and polished each wheel. I do this every year to my vehicles, usually in the fall. Did my wife's Escape last week.

Not sure if I want to do a full exhaust set up on this truck yet and couldn’t stand the ugly tail pipe so I got this black tip on amazon

That looks good! Which one is it, and are you happy with the fit?

Put my cup holder liners in and stubby antenna on. No more catching the door opener arm when I back in the garage!

Cleaned windows, installed new wiper blades, took off EcoBoost badge, cleaned throttle body and catch can. Tomorrow interior then gonna pull the wheels off for the pre salt detail

I should note that this is the first time I’ve pulled throttle body to clean since truck was new and have only had the catch can on for about 500-600 miles. Truck currently at 12,500 miles, and there was an equal amount of oil in catch can as what I wiped off throttle blade
