"washed" it even though I know it'll get dirty again in 48 hours.

Can't wait til spring so I can get hands on.

I heard Instagram angles are all the rage.

And yes my $400 phone seems to be a potato with picture taking.

I finally pulled the trigger on the step bar filler from the Ford accessories website. Normally they are priced at $739, but they offered a 20% discount for December and I had some points to redeem and it got the price under $400 with tax and shipping. Frankly I’m kind of meh about them now that they’re installed. I guess I was expecting a little more than a thin piece of aluminum and some rubber stripping for the price. I’m going to keep them, but I feel like I’ve been taken for the price I paid. They were fairly simple to install and I think they look pretty good, but I wouldn’t recommend them unless you can get a deep discount.

Makes total sense. Luckily I don’t have to worry about snow and ice where I live, but I definitely think they’re going to collect some crap off the road. I feel like I’m going to be washing debris out of them quite frequently. My truck isn’t a daily driver so it shouldn’t be too bad though.

Got the 1st emissions test yesterday...$25.00. Our state requires the 1st test on a new vehicle after 4 yrs. Requires re-testing again every two years afterwards:

We had emissions and safety testing every year back in MA. IIRC AZ works similar to NM but it's the 5th year after a new vehicle purchase. I'm not sure how it works here in AR.

Now you have to work on something else! :oops:

I've so far never had to have any form of inspections done on any of the vehicles I've had. New or used.

I've resided in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota.

$25 for every 2 years isn't bad at all though.

Okay if you drive a nissan don't shut the fuel door too hard when it's cold out...

(One of the clips broke apparently. Ah well. rest of the truck is solid tho)





Early merry Christmas btw.

What magnets are you using to hold the liner? I put strong magnets on my filter but I don't think they're strong enough to hold the liner up.
A forum member recommended these. They've worked out great. I still use one pop fastener at the top.

That is cheap compared to Oregon. $226 for two years for us in the Portland Metro Area. I have to do my truck by January 2nd. Why should we even have to DEQ our new trucks when they are made to all DEQ regulations?? OH that's right it's all about the MONEY!
