Took the Ex and the fam on our 100 mile round trip grocery run that we do about every other week. This is the first time with the SCT street tune, and I think the Ex like it! She purred along like a champ, the best she has ever felt going up and down the coastal mountains. Having a well built and tuned 6.0 is a thing of beauty! Oh, and I ended up with a 24" light bar, guess what is going on the bumper tomorrow afternoon if the weather allows it. Pics once it is done.

Installed a 24" LED light bar today. Here it is all together...

Switch on the dash



Mounted turned off





Switched on. They are crazy bright when looking directly on, but not to bad from the side...





Enjoy!

Where have you been?!!

Come spring i need new tires for my new to me F-150. Stock size is 275/45 22" and i want to upsize and go to a A/T tire. Cooper offers a 305/40 22" but i'd like just a little more height both Nitto and Hankook offer a 305/45 22" so thats my reasoning for asking.

I have been really really busy, work - family illnesses, funerals - just been a really long 4 months. But things are settling down. BTW the EX is running great haven't done anything to it except change the oil.

And to stay on topic I didn't do anything to it today, she has been in the driveway all day to make room for a 95 Honda - my youngest son's car that needed new struts put on it - the EX just regained her parking spot.

I'm sorry to hear of all the negative stuff, i hope things calm down for you and level out. I know rough patches seem to go on forever sometimes

I'm glad to see you posting, i was wondering how you were

Had to hold my mouth "just right" have the pry bar in just the right spot and the BFH to get the old ones off - definitely on the PITA list.

Thanks and definitely a rough patch in the road, thinking I'm back on the smooth highway for a while now though.
