Here in AZ the officers don't seem to give tinting too much notice unless you go full limo tint all around or have something else going on with your car.
Ask your tinter to show yo
Got a dual exhaust installed yesterday. And a set of Amp Research power steps a month or so ago.

Looks good. I have Amp power boards too. Amp has a stainless steel trim strip that is for a different set of boards but they also fit the ones you have. I put them on my boards. I think they really make them look sharp.

Thanks George. I do have the stainless strip on my F150 Lariat steps but this truck has no chrome or stainless.

Those were the days for sure. Also when I purchased my F150 in 04, sticker price was 36k.
$1,000 less than sticker price for my King cab Frontier base model(with tech package).


I miss sticker price of those days too.

Bought a new F-150 4x4 short bed, manual tranny with ac, 302 V-8, black with red interior, in 1985...it was just over $12, 000 out the door.
First gear was a "granny gear" and it would crawl up a wall in first.

My 05 f150 was 36k. My 22 Ranger was 36k and has same capabilities as my 05. Back in 05 what kind of capabilities did the Ranger have? Just curious if .Gov would stay out of our lives how things might be?

I'm on the fence of Bankers and the billionaires have more pull in how things are today.
But I do see government as a threat as well, just not as deep.

My wife used to work as a crisis counselor. They needed a grant from the state of Illinois to to basically expand and help more people, have better training, ect.

Illinois elects to give Rivian over $800 million instead... So again, helping the rich out per usual.

Tony, I still have a couple of my old window stickers from previous F150's. From 2009 - 2013 the msrp really didn't change all that much (about $3,100 over 4 years) unlike today where they increase throughout the year.

Sounds like someone looking for nice job after they get out of government. :(

lol A lot of stuff I had to save for business and taxes because they were write offs. But I will admit I got lazy when I was in AZ and went years without shredding my older files. I took me almost 2 full days to shred just my stuff (the shredder would overheat when doing to much) and had almost 3 large trash bags full. :facepalm: It was easier when I was back east because I had a burn barrel and just threw everything in there. I wont make that same mistake again!

Installed a new Black Horse Grill Guard. Very strong and fits close to the hood. I worked up a hood latch release by wrapping a coated wire around it and routing it to the side. Also have a problem with the sensors alerting on the Guard frame any time you are below 5mph. Think I will cut out those sensors because I don't use the them..Other than those two items it is exactly what I wanted for trips thru deer and antelope country.
