Wink New truck

Not today, but the other day my new work truck F-450 DRW (in order to avoid running afoul of FTE guidelines) no other pics available.

The camper thread! Pulling, using, equipment, maintenance!

Ex got a bath yesterday and I sprayed some white lithium grease in the rear hatch and barn door locks.

I'd like to take care of rust or possibly replace exhaust pipe. Which one easier?

Edit: Thought I was posting in What did you to to Ex today thread. Feel free to move. Couple of rust discussions going on.

Got the F650 lower dash mocked up. Still need some switches. Whatever you do if you order the auto meter rings and get the adapters for them...do not follow the template..way too short to even work!

Just got back from a trip up to the cabin to put in the dock (really early this year!) and summerize the snowmobiles. First trip of any length since I installed my new ATS springs late last week! WOW! Much more stable and just for kicks, I hooked up my 4place enclosed trailer all loaded with sleds and gear and took it for a spin. Felt like there was nothing there, I know, it's not a real heavy load anyway, but I could really tell the difference! Wish I would have done this years ago! Thanks to Junior at ATS!

Glad to hear you're happy with them, throw up some photos when you get a chance




Today I swapped my snow tires for my summer wheels/tires. Looks soooo much better, just need to wear these out so I can throw some 35's on it.

My springs should show up these week. I want to do a bunch of work cleaning up the frame, installing new sway bar end links when I do the spring install next weekend.

half done

I'm guessing it's a rendition of the "Last Supper".

The EX is officially out of hibernation. Used it to pick up my 2500lb shipment that was 4 days late due to snow in Wyoming.

I learned from the brake thread that brake fluid needs replacing more often then every 13 years and 140k miles. The test drive revealed an instant improvement after the fluid replacement. The tires are actually chirping when I get hard on the brakes under 40 mph. We will see how it reacts on the interstate. Next weekend steel braided brake lines.



That's very black brake fluid in a one gallon jug of washer fluid.
