Took my 06 in to get some touch ups done. Had a few dents from the PO and a few places that had some stone chips. Also, I have some Fender Flares I am getting painted and I am getting my topper painted. In the mean time I get to drive in style, my 81.

I want the 6.5' box though, more handy for farm uses I'll settle for the extended cab though, I would prefer the crew, but don't need it.
We will come up with a plan where everyone gets what vehicle they want Sherm. My youngest son is very interested in the two Mustang fast backs and I have a feeling the other son will want the 64 XL. Looks like you maybe be stuck with that infamous motored Model T Sherm....
I definitely wanted an 6.5 box after being stuck with a 5.5 which didn`t suit my life style. As soon as I get stock tires fro my Polaris quad it`ll fit in the back of my F150.

Morning Fellas...still cold and white outside...reminds me of a former girlfriend... I can't even say that. My wife was also my only girlfriend, she's anything but cold

The EX decided to crap out on me yesterday evening. I go start it to head home and the Electronic Assist Power Steering decided it was time to die, then Active Stability Management started shouting "ME TOO", joined shortly by Terrain Management Fault... End result = Me and momma unhappy, EX towed to dealer, Le Moi driving a Focus. Derp. I hope this is the only issue the EX plans on having. Ever. With only 3700 kms on the clock it isn't very confidence inspiring.

I guess the F150 in Regina sold, back to the drawing board. Something will come up, might be a cheap beater for now until I find exactly what I'm looking for. There's a nice 1990 4x4 on usedregina.com in extremely nice shape. That temps me. It would look awesome with a 4" lift and 35" tires

Morris what rim size on your quad? I've got 2 sets here, 14"x26" if you're interested. One set is pretty much new off my 850XP, the other set has maybe 500kms on them. What size/make is on yours now? I put 30" mudzillas on my 850, for some axle snapping fun. Can't wait for derby season

I'll accept the "T". Its like the ugly stepsister... someone's gotta take one for the team

Post some pics when you get the flares on Colin!!! Those really set a truck off nicely!! Matched topper for icing on the cake.

Southern John, hope you don't get Boston snow.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Where's our mad scientist?

Happy Thursday mornin'all. Bummer on watching your grandson lose Morris. How old is he, and what team does he play for and what position? Yes, Colin we'll need pic's. Curtis; Coffee's always on, the next time you visit the Jungle. Sherm; Make sure the dealer records every beef and malfunction of the EX. I would also send an e-mail to Ford Canada voicing any concerns. After my dad passed away, we sold his KIA van. The rims were peeling (done once under warranty) The dealer said no way! I e-mailed Kia Canada explaining the situation, and they replaced all 4 rims, and thru in a free oil change. Morris, Put me down for your left handed, metric ball peen hammer. John, did you get your u-bolts? Have a great day guy's.

Morning Folks!!

Sherm, did it have Command STart installed in it.

Grant, I would have popped by. Spent 2 1/2 hrs at walk in, then 1 1/2 waiting for prescription. Had a bit of an ABS/brake issue on the way home. After that day I just wanted to get out of the city and header home.

Morris, I'll take another 30 years of you being the Mod on FTE here in the MB/SK section

-38 when I went to bed last night, -33 this morning. Toooooo cold to work outside on the big girl so I think i'll just cuddle up with my lil man, he's sick too and home today, and play some PS3!! Hope you all have a Fantastic day!!

Looking forward to getting my truck back. Can't wait to see how it turned out.

Yes I got the u-bolts and the diff is installed, getting ready to start the front cross member on my next days off. How high does your frame site in the back, mine right now is 22" to the top of the frame, not sure how low it's going to sit in the front yet. I don't want it to look like it's doing a hand stand,lol

My truck's outside covered up. I'll try to measure it tomorrow. Is your measurement right at the rear of the rail? What size tire do you have on it?

Looks like everyone but Grant froze up this morning, it was a cold one!
A bummer on your EX crapping out Sherm, hopefully it`s the only hick up.
Too bad that F150 sold, I think that there`s lots out there and something better will turn up soon.
I meant to say need rims, not tires...my bad! Fairly new stock tires also came with my Polaris, I need another rims to mount the stock tires rather than keep switching back and forth.
While my "T'' is a fun car likely it`s on the selling block this summer.
Looks like our mad scientist is hiding somewhere warmer.
Grant, my grandson is 9 and while losing isn`t as much fun as winning he still has NHL dreams.
Bad news Grant....I dropped my favorite left handed, metric ball peen hammer last week while working on my 50 ft deep well, hopefully I can find a strong enough magnet to fish it out of there.

That`s great to hear, warms me up on days like this!

It has a dealer installed Ford remote, its not a factory remote though. Are you aware of some interactions/complications from such a system?
