The wife wants a set of after market gauges, a new steering column (tilt and smaller wheel) and use it as a daily driver. In the end we want to be able to tow 8000#. Any body know where to pick up a correct grill and aftermarket instrument panel?
FTE has a classified section. You might be able to locate the parts your looking for there?! Otherwise, you can go online & order a FREE parts catalog for that year truck through "Mac's". They have everything you'd need to build a vehicle from the ground up! (except for maybe tires)

Goodmorning Guys & Gals,


Welcome to the first Monday of Fall.

Let's hope the weather stays warm for a few more weeks. I haven't had much of a chance to ride this summer, so I'm praying for some nice weather so I can take the Ninja out before I have to put it up for the winter.

Anyone going to Street Vibrations? We'll be there! We're not going into Reno, but we'll be at Carson Harley Davidson for awhile & then probably hit the butt huts for their celebration before we head up to Virginia City. I think the V.C. titty parade (where men/woman earn their bead necklaces - it's rare see a guy flashing though) starts around 1 pm & goes until it's too cold &/or dark. (normally 4-5 pm) Don't know if I'll participate or not. I've gotta work up the nerve & the weather plays a huge factor as well! Maybe after a few drinks.

Hope to see ya there!

Hi gang, I have been away. Bun now I'm back since my buddy Steve Bricks made some moves and restored my missing post notifications.

Is there any doubt that Donna is the greatest chapter leader ever? I think not.

Donna is the Street Vibrations next weekend? I would like to see you guys up at Virginia City. That would be fun.... especially since I missed you last year.

Beautiful day today, I am hoping for lots more before the weather turns cold.

I have been reading all the wild horse news, thanks to Donna. Interesting, if you care about wild horses and keeping them wild, look it up. I am an animal lover myself.

Mornin' all!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Going to be busy for me at work since it's our "anniversary" sale week this week.

I did find out that I scored a 100 out of 100 on my Criminal Justice paper and quiz. Yea me! LOL

As a side note, since moving, I found my 2003 F-150 service manuals (factory service manuals) and don't need them any longer. I was thinking of posting them up here, but wanted to give the NV crew a shot at them first. No sense in having them sit around collecting dust.

Let me know if you are interested or I will then post them up here on FTE, if I'm allowed to (I haven't checked into the conditions on the "for sale" section - i.e. if I have to be a paying member or not)

Hope everyone enjoys their week!

Thanks for the compliment. So glad that everything is finally fixed.
Street Vibrations is this weekend. We'll be going to Carson Harley & Virginia City.

Goodmorning,

Happy Hump Day! Hope it's a great day.

So, who's going to Street Vibrations?

Here's a couple pictures for you to get you motivated...(the last one is from Jimmys Birthday) Like the etching he did on his windshield?
