Arrow Fall truck projects!

Fall is here today!

What do you have planned for your truck(s) this fall?

I'm actually driving my truck to work right now, car blew one of the rear brake pistons apart. Truck still needs a muffler replaced under warranty, and the PS pump is getting pretty noisy, but it still is working ok. Also think I need to get the tires rebalanced.

Explorer just got new rear springs as one was broken. And this weekend or next week I need to remove the front diffferential cover and reseal it as it's leaking gear oil all over the front suspension.

Lots on the GO here. Replace the Ford Batterys with Interstates, Recon Cab lights, Snow plow stuff from the old truck, Rear Firestone Air bags maybe and maybe the 5" DPF back MBRP exhaust but I'm a lil on the fence with that one and mixed reviews on if it will harm the truck.

I gotta get the camper winterized and get it off the f250 and into storage. I wanted to get some work done to her but it never happened.
Ranger needs to get rustchecked/oiled before the weather turns. It's a 2007 and it's never been done from what I can see. Also thinking about snow tires rather than the Mud Terrains that are on it but moneys tight, we'll see. I did get a second set of ALCOA rims, so I should put them to work.
I took the hood of the '48 and need to adjust it properly now that it's back on. A bit of a pain to do so I've been avoiding it.
And as soon as I can locate a Clifford valve cover I'll have to bolt together my 300 I6 so I can do an engine swap on the F250 come spring time.

I did by a lottery ticket so maybe i can pay somebody to work on all this junk while I go out and buy more junk!
