Love the rig bud. Been wondering how a color matched Ranch would look on the front of mine, seeing as how yours looks great and we have the same colors... I think I know what I'm doing here soon!

Had to have an MVI done as it still hasn't sold yet and it was up the end of this month... needs new rear brakes/rotors and swaybar bushings. Also will clean e-brake as it was sticking a little. Mechanic was astonished at the condition of the truck, I had to tell him that's what happens when it is a Texas truck.

I did see while they had it up on the lift that there was oil spray on/under the engine. Checked the oil and it was down a litre. Will have to clean the engine and track down the leak.

Nice work Mike. Doubt you will have to be concerned with debris from the back. Most cars there will sit way lower and hit your tow-hitch-bar. One of the strongest parts of the truck.
I'm missing the ak47 rack ? Oh wait... nevermind. lol

I loaned my DD to a friend for the week (LOONNGG story), which means I have been driving the EX as my DD.

$3.38 for diesel today which means I was under $150.00 for a 42 gallon fill up. 13.8 MPG in city driving conditions.

I know. I grew up in your neighbors country. They've gone overboard with all the restrictions. I think you can't even own a slingshot anymore.

Had my powermax turbo taken out ( I'm sending out to have painted in Blue) and borrowed a stocker for the estimated 2-3 week turnaround. There is a substantial difference in performance and sound, but still runs strong. If I timed it good my blue replacement DC alternator should arrive at the same time.
