Ack that's right, I think it's holeshotwalt that has the '70. I'm partial to our body style, however I prefer the split corner lense of the '71 to the '72.

No luck on the new inspection sticker. I did wait to put the new registration sticker on until after the glass was replaced though.

Used mine to haul in a scrap sable to use as my metal dumpster. Loving my back up camera! Back right up to the trailer hitch dead on and also can back the trailer right back spot on over the cement pad for the jack every time!

I can't wait to get mine back on the road. I knew I was pushing it with the spray and it finally gave up the ghost and blew apart hard enough to punch out the oil pan in several spots. Probably a good thing as now I have no reason to not do the upgrades and rewire like I've been wanting too.

On the Excusion side of the house, transmission parts are showing up every day. Billet goodies, ordered the converter today... Good thing too because third gear is good for a laugh and 2 seconds and then it's in fourth. Rapidly self-dismantling lol.

I just drove my Ex for the first time since 4/15 when i filled it up, Noticed my 80MPH vibration is back. Not sure what it is but it sure is annoying. I'm thinking about shotgunning things and replacing all u-joints to start with....

I should unlock the hubs also, don't think i'll be needing 4x4 any time soon.

Do you have pics of your head unit and camera install? Been thinking about doing this but would like to see it first. Also, what camera was used? I've been trying to figure out where to put it that looks OEM.

Not the Ex, but the F350.

This is what I spent 3 hours doing yesterday. Today it's getting new up-pipes, billet plenums, and all kinds of other stuff.

I will get pics one of these days.

This is the camera I got, great clarity btw! I installed it in the black hatch window trim next to the handle.

I'm really looking hard at the F650 lower dashes. I don't like the loss of the cubby hole though.

Looking on Riff Raff website there is only one pic. Under Google images there is a ton.

I think I've read every fte post on them though.

Do any EX guys have them that haven't posted?

I don't want them for round gauges. Just a clean way to mount 4-5 rocker switches. Kinda seems over kill though and, I want my cubby.....

I've been looking at this also. Looks like the best way to add extra switches and a couple gauges. Honestly, the price on Riff Raff looks pretty appealing to me..... though it gets pricey if you add a bunch of their switches. Last time I looked they were back-ordered though....

Cherry Bomb welded on. Exhaust tip for looks as well. Love the new sound! Welding shop fixed a broke hanger and a hole in the tailpipe while they were under the truck also.
