Some mods are just more macho than others! =p

I never thought I'd be preoccupied with mice and chipmunks.

I blew and sprayed the engine bay, left the hood open in the bright sunlight, and put sachets of balsam fir and peppermint oil in the engine bay and now in the cab too. The botanical balsam fir oil is like fresh sawdust in the cab, not too bad.

I finished off the spray bottle of peppermint and eyedroppered pure peppermint oil onto the battery blanket.

Maybe it makes it all taste better! =D

I bet removing that engine cover and sending it to me will help keep the mice away from your engine.

I may just remove the whole truck and go to a simpler dump runner! =p

Bet you can get a good "butt dyno" feeling for the FP (foot power) output....:crackup:
And don't wear "flip flops" !!! Get a good pair of boots with some good off road soles.

Have you tried using 303 on the light cover?

That sh1t is like windex, it fixes everything.

I got upset today.

Someone slammed their door into my rear fender.

Hard enough to scratch it all the way down to plastic...

If I had to get a ding, I guess a plastic fender is a good place.... Now it won't hurt as bad when I get trail damage, I guess... That's what they say. ?

That's why I seldom drive my truck to work. We have 50-60 open parking spaces. I park away from everyone and like that TV commercial, some idiot in a 1975 Olds will park right on top of me and swing their 105lb door open as hard as they can ?:punch::punch::punch:
