Its all good Jay. And yes, I did ask.
Yes they are marker lights on the bedside. They are just tiny little LEDs. Did that myself, thought it was different and new. I am going to change them to red, I think. I like them, but not the orange.

Hahaha yeah exactly!
Wheels need to be beefy like the truck. Another benefit of the Liquid Metals, they have a higher weight rating than the Ballistics. My truck is a big one and weighs in at #8,000 lbs empty, which is about what a dually weighs.

Ok..thanks for the opinions everyone. Sure helps a lot. I didn't post in the 7.3 section, I posted here because I value my friend's opinions.
I will stop dominating the OT now. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I believe you were watching...the twitterpated moose.

Afternoon everybody.
Yeah Cris. Got a call last night around 10:30 from my sister-in-law saying that my 13 year old nephew had passed out and when he came to, he was throwing up a lot of blood. The ambulance took him to their local hospital and they transferred him to the children's hospital in TN. They scoped him this morning and he's got bleeding ulcers. The cauterized them and are watching him now to see if he's able to keep food down.
He's doing a lot better now though. We got back in this morning around 6 or so and I crashed.

Thanks Jim I will. It's kind of one of those things where the worst part is not knowing. Like my sis-in-law said, now that they know what they're dealing with, they can actually breathe a little easier. Of course the worst things always run through you mind.
Rough night though. My in-laws went to the sis-in-law's house to stay with my neice so we had to get our kids up, pack them in the car and head to TN. Nice thing about DVD players and Nintendo DS. Kids are out of school today and we both took off. Thank goodness for comp time and vacation time.

That's what we've wondered too. He has had a lot of trouble with one of his teachers this year. He's a great student and makes straight As but he's got this one teacher that reached tenure about five years ago and the school system won't touch her. Plus, his mom teaches in the same school so they don't want to give the impression of favoritism. I call BS on that one though. It's hard to believe that just 8 months with one crappy teacher could generate enough stress to cause or contribute to ulcers but I'm sure it's possible.
I don't know enough about ulcers and their causes to know what else causes them. He eats well and doesn't eat fast food, greasy, spicy, or other food like that.

Here is what truck looks like now, no photoshopping:
Moose I do plan on changing out my Ford symbol with a chrome-look one and painting my grille black. Too much chrome goin on with that truck..especially for a person that dislikes chrome. I am also going to order clear/smoked headlights and get rid of all the orange lights on the truck. It does help with the balance of things. My windows are a very dark tint, too...so it just adds to the blacked-out look.
Ed I know what you mean. Wheels are so subjective. Ive seen wheels that absolutely make me want to vomit, that other people just adore.
Ok Mark, what about those black wheels, with chrome lug nuts, and white letters facing out? Would that be enough 'accent'?

What would really dress that truck up, way more than rims will, is a BIG wing mounted to the tailgate, and a coffee can muffler.
That makes any vehicle cool.
