I also see now why there is that blank spot next to the wide angle mirror. It is there because you already see the edge of the mirror in the wide angle, making the mirror any wider would only show you more of the black edge of the mirror housing.

Modified the back hanger on the exhaust so it would sit correctly. Before it use to point up and almost touched.

Looks good Mach.

Put the tabs I picked up Thursday on last night. Had to use the heat gun to remove about 7 years of stickers. Taking the truck on a day trip this friday. Nothing crazy just helping clean up a family members recreational property that we use.

I just drove it around running errands and enjoying having it back! I also updated my signature with all the new goodies. There was almost not enough room for it all!

today I did brakes all the way around ( it didn't fix the problem I was concerned with grrrr... but it does stop like a dream now most of the time.

we installed front lift shackles which gave almost 3" of lift to the front, and it sits a little high in the front but looks better... also did the muffler and cat delete... I love hearing the 6.0 growl ( I'm sure it will not help the fuel mileage)

Definitely won't help mileage, but who cares?

Talking

Seriously?

Somebody buys an EX and all of a sudden is concerned about MPG?

Seriously?

A company finds the resource (oil) pumps it out of the ground, ships it (somewhere), refines it into consumer products, transports it (AGAIN), puts it back in the ground, pumps it out (AGAIN) and some complain about handing over $4 in PAPER CURRENCY which is worth?

Oh, and by the way the aforementioned companies net 9% profit.

Would you do all that for 9% profit?

Looks good! Maybe add a little lift to the rear?
