Other things I am considering are power steering, front disk brakes, and AC. Just depends on time and finances. The old tank in the bed is full of crap it clogs the filter pretty quickly. I looked into getting it boiled out and the cost was more then the mustang tank conversion. Also, this way I get the bed space back.

AC is a must where you live. LOL Besides, it would keep the minion happy when she rides along.

Power steering and front disc brakes are both out of my area of ability. I drove a Toyota pickup many moons ago that had manual steering, and it was a PITA to drive.

The manual steering in this one isn't bad accept in small parking lots or sitting still. the minion doesn't mind the heat as much as I do.

It's been raining here most of the day. Cool front came through yesterday afternoon, and brought rain.......Right in the middle of me mowing the yard. Had to scramble to finish the front yard. Got soaked making a mad dash with the tractor back to the shed in the back yard!

Good Morning Gang.

Just back from Arizona. had a great time. The weather was lovely. Picked prickly pears at our place. Now comes the work. Most are going to my wife's friend to be made into jam.

Weather nice today here at home. Last night was cool in the 40s. I'm not looking forward to winter but I better start facing it.

I just ordered one of the Amazon Fire sticks that have the software to watch things for free. If it works I will be able to cut off the direct TV, and put that money to more truck parts.

I have a FireStick, but I don't think it has that software.

You can add it yourself but it can be a pain to setup properly. That is why I paid for one with it already programmed. The programs used are Kodi the full build, mobdro, solid streamz, and terrarium tv. If it doesn't work as well or as easily as I hope, then I can still use it as a normal fire stick.

Not sure. I won't have all the details until I get it. I will let you know. We don't really watch much on anything local that can't be found elsewhere.
Plus, for local channels, we could get a digital antennae.
