Patriot's Day!

I do think this is the first time I have ever had Patriot's Day OFF! Start a new job today and it's a Holiday - good omen or bad omen? I may install my new Banks Six Gun tuner today - if it ever warms up! I'm going to get a cup of coffee... be back!

Thank you very much... but please hold the rain for 7 or 8 hours. I want to get the tuner installed and can't fit the truck in the garage! What does everyone think of the flares "Black" instead of "Color matched"? I had an '07 Ranger Sport and the Bushwacker-look flares were color matched. I liked that on the white Ranger but I kind of like the black on red... opinions?

I already said that I likeed the black look.. It makes them stand out more and makes it more rugged..

Have you ever used the Banks tuner before?? I was leaning towards getting one for my 99 SD but never did it..

We should be in the 60's with sunshine today. I think the black would look good also Jim.

I haven't yet as yet - I had an SCT tuner for the Ranger. I'll let everyone know how it turns out!
