Good luck trying that with Verizon! If you take a discounted equipment upgrade, you are stuck with whatever plans are available at the time. In our area VZ has the best coverage by far, but it is like dealing with the devil.

Good morning guys!

My wife rocks a Note 3 and has it in her back pocket all the time. It's slightly larger than an iP6+. She's had it for over a year and not had it bend. I've even had it in my back pocket on occasion (holding it for her) and my fat butt didn't bend it. I've had the S3,4 & 5 in my back pocket for the better part of 3 years...never an issue. This might be a case where an aluminum case is showing their limits. The Sammy's are plastic and cheap. The iP's are much nicer looking/feeling aluminum. By we all know that aluminum is malleable and a softer metal. I'd be careful. This is going to be an issue. I just hope the iP6 isn't as susceptible as the iP6+ at bending because my daughter has one on order and it will be here in Mid October. She's a back pocket carrying fool.

Roy...congrats on ordering the truck! I'm very excited and envious! I'm certain you and Lynn are going to love it! Start looking for a used bumper to put on the '11 from conversion yards if you want to install that bumper on the new truck

Roy already stated that the new truck will receive a new moose bumper!

Here is a picture for Doug. We are supposed to get swamped with rain tonight so pictures of the LED bar lit up will have to wait. The rainy night will give me time to wire it up permanently.

That's crazy, and too bad for VZ owners; it doesn't seem right.

Dak, I'm not sure how Sprint coverage is by you, but they are now offering a flat rate $50 a month unlimited data and talk on the IP6. You may want to check into that.

I went out to fight the masses last Saturday to get the Baby (26 year old daughter in grad school) an iPhone 6+. It's a long story but I bypassed the hundreds in line by doing a little homework and making a few calls and was in and out of the Apple store in 20 minutes with the loaf of bread sized cell phone. I asked Baby if she thought the phone was too large and she said it was "stupid big and awesome". Now I have to get me one in November when my phone is eligible for an upgrade.

Good Morning guys,

Funny headlines. Took a picture of the beans one and sent to my wife. I'm sure I'll get a laugh from that.

We talked about the 250/350 thing last night and she had thought the 350 would cost significantly more. At the MSRP price, its less than 1k, with everything else identical to the 250 build. So, she has given the go ahead on the 350. Thanks for helping me spend my money

Brief build summary:
F350 King Ranch
4x4 Long Bed
Diesel (of course)
3.31 ELD
FX4 Off Road Package
Blue Jeans Exterior
Heavy Duty Alternator (Single)
Spray In Bedliner
Roof Clearance Lights (I had already wanted these, for those that were telling me to get them )
Tailgate Step (I'm not getting any younger)
Engine Block Heater (you never know)
18" Bright Machine Cast Wheels
Rapid Heat Supplemental Cab Heater (you never know)
Heated Rear Seats (for the kids...well, it's only been 4 months since we got married so not yet)
Upfitter Switches

I think everything else is just the standard King Ranch stuff. Not listed is the camper package which I am still waiting to hear back from the dealer about.

MSRP is 67,410 Hoping to hear a number that is under 60 for my own sake.

Another picture or two for the day of my Land Cruiser since you guys seemed to accept it Thank you for the compliments on it as well.

George, I ordered mine from my back porch while drinking a late night beer (since I had to be up anyways). Took 10 minutes tops and no line ROR. It was delivered to me by 0830 on release day.

Morning Gents.
Thanks for the pics Matt. My parents have 3 four-wheelers that could each use extra lighting. That looks like a good fit for their needs.
Jon, congrats on the order. If you think we were helpful in spending your money now, just wait until the truck arrives!
Have a great day. I have errands today that I may or may not get around to, so I may or may not test out the ride of the new shocks. I may or may not just be lazy all day long watching tv and eating bon-bons. (Probably not)

VZW has you by the short hairs for sure. I can't even add a line to my plan.
And I have been down the getting a new phone route with them before and you can't get one with a contract. Although they might listen now since they are here and my phones will only use the old towers that cost them money (3g) for roaming fees... Data and Voice...

MOST cell phone companies are not here. Thanks for the advice. I have been debating getting a 'droid phone as well...

The CPAP and sleep study test was not good. I do have apnea however, my BP was higher in the morning. And they needed so much pressure I felt suffocated.

Jon - Should be under $60K if all you are adding is a camper package. Between the dealer discount you should get and the incentives you should be able to get around $10k off. And then all of your states specific fees get added in of course. Congrats on deciding and good deal to get the supplemental heater, block heater, and rear seat heaters too.

That is one clean Toyota too...

Dak I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea as well but haven't done the testing. I roll so much in my sleep that a machine would probably make it worse. Let me know how you feel after some use. I may go ahead with the testing as well.

As far as phones go, there are so many good options out there now, you really can't go wrong. Getting the best carrier for your area is crucial though. For me, it's AT&T.

Doug, I wouldn't put these china lights on my truck, but for ATV and farm use, I think they are perfect.

Alright, took my 2000mg of Amoxicillin for my dentist apt (required for life after having a total shoulder replacement) and am sitting waiting for a cleaning, and I hope that's it ROR.
