Nice Trav! I haven't had any time to wrench on my truck for a while now, had to go on an unscheduled camping trip with the Corps up in Flagstaff. My Off didn't work and the mosquitoes won the war handily. My guys were joking about wanting to play connect-the-dots on the back of my head!
My current projects are to order new tires (stock 235/85R16's), I'm sticking with BFG A/T's. Other than that, I'm looking to get a Bestop shell for my truck soon, and a new black grill since the paint the PO put on the original chrome one is chipping off and looking pretty terrible. I move into my new apt tomorrow and will finally be able to finish my HID projector headlights (HID's should only be used with projectors) that I started before deploying. Then I'm going to call Safelite to fix a brand new chip right in the middle of the windshield. After all that is done I'll start getting some quotes for an exhaust and price out a BD tuner (the no start options should get me a discount on my insurance too!).

Sounds like you have a lot of fun to take care of. I get the fun of working on my F150 hopefully getting her running before winter along with the 92/96 ranger mutt dog project, and the 92 F250 project. Hoping to have those three running by winter but kinda doubt it on the ranger because of wiring crap. Suppose to go get a parts explorer tomorrow for parts for my explorer and the ranger.

Been super quiet in here lately, i thought i was having email issues since i hadn't got many notifications from fte lately.
I have not done much one my trucks, the rain derailed that for me....
I did have an interview Tuesday for a job, I think it went great, they came in a few bucks under my asking starting wage, at the end of it, the guy must have been impressed, because he said he is going to try to negotiate more money for me, but that I could not say anything to anyone of the other techs, because I will be the highest paid one they have ever started. It sounds luke the insurance premiums should be more reasonable, l hope, i am waiting for the back ground check, and they will email me the final offer over. They will be providing a vehicle for me so it looks like I will be selling the F450.
