I finally got my rear shocks on my truck, all I can say is wow that made the truck ride sooo much better. It almost rides like it should.

Grant, we have thought about the Edge but my girlfriend and I agree the Explorer looks better, has more room, wont use much more fuel and it also has enough fender room that I can get a truck tire in there so I don't have to worry about flats as much.

I only did the rear because I swapped the fronts out in May. I have a new steering stabilizer to put in as well but I'll save that for a later day. I went with the Bilstein 5100s for now but I'm gonna be putting King shocks on in the future

Morning boys n girls!! Put in another long one yesterday and didn't feel like hitting the fireworks. We could hear the booms and bangs from home and it sounded like an awesome show. Lasted a long time too Whoever made it out to their local CanadaDay celebration spot I hope you enjoyed!!
Happy B-Lated Canada Day everyone ( forgot it was a holiday yesterday when I logged on )

We had a few people over and had a fire and fireworks at the farm here. We put on a pretty good show for a bunch of goof *****. It was good to do and get everyones mind off the flooding situation.

I saw that link you posted. Pretty bad. The last two days have been really warm. We hit 31-32 both days.

30°C this weekend so the humidity will be unbearable.
More showers forecast for next week then cooling off again, hope to get some riding in before that happens.

Supposed to see a little cooler and a little cloudy the next few days here. I'll take that without rain. Want the river to come down so I can do some fishing.
