You should have seen the rim on my mother in laws truck after I had to cut one of the lug nuts off that had rounded off, it was ugly.... Bad ugly.

I put a set of Westin Nerf Bars that I just bought for $50 on my truck last night. The seller said they came off of his uncles '88 F-150.

Front bolt installed to Cab Body Mount Bushing. I still have to change out the front cab body mount bushings with the new polyurethane ones that I have. Hopefully, I will get to that sometime by this spring or summer.;

Sorry, I forgot to take any pictures of the passenger side installed. I think my wife will really enjoy using these to get in and out of the truck. I think this is a good investment for $50.

I'll be sure to check it out tonight when I get home, I can't see pics on the work computer but I am sure it is awesome. Trying to get things squared away here at work before I head off to school. The change of pace will be nice, other than I hate being in a classroom. Might not be a bad deal after all since it looks like it is going to get colder again.

Good work on the bars, that looks awesome !!!

Manfred- I have a mandatory class for the Army so I can get promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 4 in October. Since I have been a Warrant Officer I have been running a motorpool, keeping the trucks and stuff running up and down the battle field. This class is directing us more towards the manager and planner type role that I will be doing as a CW4. Hard to give up the hands on stuff, stressfull but very rewarding.

Good luck. Some people can never make the adjustment.

Whooooooaaaaaa Nelly!! STRONG wind gusts and a LOT of rain already today. The field is flooded along the creek and I have water running through places on my property I have never seen it. Its waaaaay to warm (62*) for the end of January - this is a dangerous set-up. Currently tornado warnings just SW and just NE of here along the front and this thing is just creeping through here.

The ground is SATURATED from all the rain in the last 2 weeks. With all this wind, I expect to see some trees down and will not be surprised if we lose power.

Wow, it is really pounding out there. Gonna fire up the GoPro and see what 'wild weather' I can capture.

Be careful up there guys, I see on the news that north Georgia has been pounded by rain and tornadoes. A tornado just missed one of the shops up in North Ga. I see it is slowly heading this way. We are dry and really need the rain but not the bad stuff. We have had a few sprinkles and strong gusts today, so far.
