My Ex album has a pic of them. When there not in use the rubberized loops unclick and the small smooth base stays fastened to the seat supports.

I love that you put the pig snout front grill on the piggy pounder.

Managed additional gauges, albeit digital monitoring and not the intended analog.

Went a custom route on the T500 and tried something new and different, good results so far.

Still saving for the turbo... Although I did decide the S369sxe is the right option for my application and intended use (cough, nitrous) whenever it finally happens. Plus the head studs, fuel system,..... ****.

Biggest by far will be ditching the 38R and going with a new turbo, either S366 or S369.

I got my hatch fixed, had the windshield replaced and bought a farm in Arkansas for retirement.

Well I got new tires. I bought a garage big enough to park the Ex in so I don't have to be in a hurry to fix the windshield. I failed to move to Arkansas after retirement though. Ended up with a good job in Texas.

I resolve to install my new rear leaf springs and shackles (sitting out in my barn for the past few months), and make custom air bag mounts to retain my Air Lift air springs in the rear for towing.

I resolve to purchase and install a new stereo, since my factory 6 disc won't play, nor eject the discs that are in it.....

I resolve to use the Ex to go camping more than the 28 nights we did in 2015

I did get my basket rack installed, and I'm 110% happy with it. Used it several times on our camping excursions.

Still haven't ordered a compressor for my on-board air. Did order a few of the smaller items I need for the setup, and the F650 dash for switches and gauges.

Still haven't installed my new Pro Comp rear springs. Still riding on the stock springs w/blocks.

Did install a 2 din stereo. Performed an exorcism to get my 6 CDs out of the stocker.

Did use the Ex to camp 27 nights. OK..... not as good as 28, but still a success in my book.

So far got my Joying head unit installed with backup camera. Need to replace rear hatch lock. Thinking about doing a front brake job with power stop z36 kit with pads, rotors, calipers, and lines.
