Happy Monday afternoon. Late to the forum today, very busy. Raining here today, but the weekend was great. I actually got tom color with the sun on Saturday. Have a great day guy's.

Hello everyone, I did some more investigating today regarding the brake caliper rubbing my rim. I found that ther is a difference of 1/8" in backspacing. Called Centerline and emailed them pictures showing the difference in measurements. I told them I didn't want to go through the inconvenience and expense of shipping this rim to them. Sales person is going to get back to me tomorrow with a killer deal, so he says, I may end up with a matching spare.

So my Vehicle Inspection didn't go that bad. Repair a ball joint, replace a cracked leaf spring, get ABS dash light off, have DRL working with light switch in off position, install rear lights to go with roof lights as truck is wider. Truck height is just legal for width. So around $1000 in repairs.

Evening everyone! With myself being young I kind of am mixed up when it comes to measurements. I use km for long distance and km/h for speed. I use inches for short distances, I use pounds for weight and for liquid I use mL and liters 
.
Some of us got lucky and are both handsome and handy!
Nice kills Trent. My 2010 F150 was actually pretty quick. With a cold air intake, superchips programmer and no exhaust muffler back. It was faster with a 6" lift, 35s and stock gears than my buddies 05 F150 with a 4.6, my sister and brother in-laws 07 F150 with a 5.4 and faster than my work truck which is an 07 F150 5.4 also. I'd still like to put my diesel up against your F150 just for fun
I also think its hard to believe that a 231hp truck can beat a 365hp truck that weighs the same but it does happen. Maybe the Ecoboost wasn't running right? Maybe the guy had no clue what he was doing? lots of things that could have happened to decide the outcome.
That's good to hear
. Evening boys n girls 
Shut the sheds, closed up the cave, trailer locked n loaded. Great weekend!!
Off to a job in Oakbank tomorrow. Drywall, move a fan and tile floors.
Interesting start to the season, all indoor work and I primarily do exterior renos lol.
Wife tells me, If I can't be handsome, may as well be handy :P
Time to pour a glass of Pepsi, bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie with Mumzi.
Have a great evening to all you guys pampering their mums!!

Too bad you didn't have video of out accelerating an Ecoboost. I have trouble believing it. I've had both an Ecoboost F150 and a '08 5.4L F150. There is no way a naturally aspirated 5.4L would out perform an Ecoboost if both drivers were trying.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!! Mine was spent doing more yard work. Woke up this morning thinking it was still the weekend Wood tics are out, I'm not happy about that. Pulled a dozen off the kids and dogs so far, had a few on ourselves. Only good thing about them is having to check the missus over for tics
Have a great Monday Boys and Girl!!

Truck height was within 1.18 cm. Bumper heights were good as were the lights. Inspection could have been worse. Took a long 2hrs of waiting.

Things are starting to pick up a bit but we`re having a very later spring, cooler than normal but maybe this weekend it`ll finally start to really warm up. I want to go riding, it`s too a short summer for that.
