I wouldn't ride a bike on a paved road anymore than I would a motorcycle. I'm not exactly a prude, but handing over so much fate to the common driver on the road is a bit much to ask of me. At least a motor vehicle offers me some form of fate protection.

I got this cool little Loki Thor! (The name cracks me up every time.) Battery jump pack AND 150 psi. tire inflator. AND USB device charger. AND! 300 Lumen work light ?

For $140 I have a feeling yours truly be using it on other peoples' cars more often than my own truck. But feels great to have onboard! I am looking forward to using it to pump up my truck tires faster than rolling out my pancake compressor. I also bought this to be able to pump up the tires on our photography carts. They are huge and when the tires get low they are a bear to pull or push. I got sick of having to drag aforementioned pancake to work so this is a killer option as well.

Right now looks like they are $120 and you get an extra set of clamps by using two coupons.

Just in time for some freezing rain and snow later. Much longer than my previous one and easy to reach the entire roof.

UPDATE April 5th:

It was great in fluffy snow but forget about heavy wet snow, it folded like a cheap suit and broke.

Throw that snow in the bed and haul it to the dump. ?
See, that's why this forum is so great!

Consider it done! (sorry Greta, my love for you is trumped by dump opportunities)

Found a wiring plug and power outlet to make my own bed power port harness for about $40 total.
They came in yesterday and got them soldered up and installed this afternoon . Tested it out by powering my RC Lipo Battery charging station .


Plug w/ 6' wire .
2019 Ford Ranger 12V Bed Accessories Male Pigtail Connector - Etsy

2 Flush mount quick connect power ports
Amazon.com: yarachel SAE Cable Connector - SAE Power Socket Sidewall Port, Solar Weatherproof SAE Quick Connect Solar Panel Mount, 12AWG SAE Cable with 8 Screws for Solar Generator Battery Charger : Patio, Lawn & Garden

I made the harness 36" in total length .

Gonna use the extra Panel mount for a quick connect battery maintainer when I decide where to put it.

I did get a “U”, unsatisfactory, in art in the first grade. I mean… who does that to a kid? :LOL: Must have affected me.;)
I got Ds in Conduct in second grade. That teacher also took my plastic gumball mustache and said I could have it back at the end of the year. She never gave it back and she must be dead now - wonder if I could sue her estate. But resentment? Me?

Still scarred and still poorly behaved. Some kids just never learn ...

I purchased the Ford black chrome exhaust tip and received it yesterday, I had the Magnaflow black tip, but the black coating failed after only three months after install. Magnaflow didn't want to warranty it, so I'm not too happy with them ( photo attached ). The new tip is good quality and installed without any issues. Purchased through Stage 3.

I got one too, but it is a GoRhino textured black to match the STX trim and holding up well. I painted my tailpipe and looks like you did also?

Me too David.

Not that long ago I had a look at my report cards from K-12. My mom had saved them all. In the lower grades, teachers used to include comments and their observations on conduct. Things like, “is an active child but often distracts others” or “does well but would do much better if he concentrated more on his own work” and “friendly and liked by others but tends to spend too much time socializing”.

Not surprisingly my most recent annual performance appraisals in the corporate world matched most of the comments, word for word. :D

One of the least expensive things I've bought in a while. lol Received my digital voltmeter that Rick @Trigganometry recommended so I can keep an eye on the battery. While I do keep it on a maintainer 2-3 days a week I'd like to see if I'm losing voltage and how long it takes while sitting off of it.

Also bought this magnet for my tag that reminds me my maintainer is plugged in. I already had the tag and use to lay in up in the dash tray. But after seeing David @subquark add this magnet to his I liked the idea better. Now I just stick it to the space between my doors so there's no way I'll forget to unplug the maintainer. See David I can spend money from your recommendations too. ?

I likes it! Now if I'd just use it every time! =p

I like sticking it on the side like you do and you can also stick it to the steering wheel.

Can that volt meter stay plugged in? Does it mess up the BCM or OPP or whatever that stuff is called?

If it doesn't, looks like I need this too! It'll look good next to the Launch Missile button!

Hmm, I'd have to get this one with red LEDs:

Great idea! I never thought about sticking it to the wheel. :like:
