The led lights are cool under the hood! Is it possible to hook them up to the wires for the under hood light. My bulb has been gone for a long while now.

 

12 city 16 highway i think, i know the life AVG MPG on the truck as of now is 12.5 which is a huge step up from my current 8 MPG

 

I finally got the rear procomp springs installed and my Rancho 9000xl's. Amazing.

I could NOT get the shackles off... the bolt that holds them to the bracket were completely jammed in there. I ended up having to cut the shackle to get the old spring out and cutting the bolt to get the shackle off...

Will tackle the front tomorrow but it's already alot better.

 

Cold, so cold. So is the trick to 6.0 ownership, just don't look and you'll be fine? I know I enjoy the drive much more when the Dashboss isn't hooked up.

 

Same here, I use to monitor everything even around town driving. Now I just monitor on longer trips.

 

Nope, it went to the scrap yard a while ago. It's a shame, those rockers were in nice shape when I pulled the cladding off. But, I did cut the right rear corner out for someone and boy was it tough. That stuff isn't easy to cut, especially when there are multiple layers.

 

Totally agreed. I've got the MBRP planned for my 7.3, but in the mean time, I also have exhaust and intake mods done to my Cruze. The turbo spool whistle is as loud as a truck now, and I absolutely love it!

 

So a friend of mine just posted some photos he took of us staged for the 4th of July Parade. You can see my Ex all shined up, lined up and ready to go!

 

It wasn't today, but since I haven't been on in a while, here's a few things I've done to the Ex this year:

- Took it up north over the Fourth of July, put about 500-600 miles on it. Ran fine, no issues at all.
- Replaced the wiper blades. Went with Trico ExactFits, like the original factory blades were. The rear blade was still the factory one actually. Put a 16 on the back and twin 24s up front.
- Replaced the battery. Not a single issue with it and still started like new, but it was coming up on three years, and with a three year full replacement warranty at Autozone, I took advantage of that. Should be good for at least another three years now.

 

I'm in Southern California right now. I'm so used to seeing Ex's everywhere in Reno, NV. I've seen one down here so far. All I see are Priuses (Pri-i?) everywhere. It is nice to drive the largest thing on the road though.

 

I just got to meet another FTE member, Wallz (Wally) stopped in and said hello. It was nice meeting you, wish i had more time to BS.

Otherwise i just tried dodging rain drops today to keep the Ex as clean as possible.

 

Been mostly absent from this great site for too long and in that time some changes were made......

New shoes, 05 headlights, and I painted the grill insert

 

Welcome to So Cal. There are definitely more Prius's than Ex's but I'm here representing too. You will recognize me because I'm the one towing our TT. I'm going camping, I'm going camping

 

We took my Ex to go get my grandpas new to him '08 Sport Trac V8 AWD Adrenalin tonight. He doesn't have to daily drive the Oldsmobile anymore...just in time to have a new radiator put in early next week.

My uncle is on the way home from Seattle with his new GMC pickup, I'll be getting my new to me F-150 within a few days...its new truck month in the family apparently.

its a badass little truck! this is his second black sport trac

 

Lookin good Russ
