Put a trap in there with some Peanut Butter bait, it's the only way I can harvest any vegetables from my garden.

Mark, I'd need Jif by the case..( buuuut might be cheaper than 22lr)
These squirrels have brass acorns....out on the deck, laughing at the dog thru the glass...aint scared.
Little devils aren't afraid to "ride the lightning" either...transformer fuses don't last long 'round here.
I just don't get the gas thing...2x on the Ex, countless on the 89 Bronco, the LP lines on the BBQ grill...even the tank on my woodchipper was eaten thru.

Hunting down the reason for the overhead lights staying on and theft light blinking on a new to me 2004 Ex 6.0. Bought it non running, working on it right now cleaning up the mess that was left in there. It's turning out to be a nice Eddie Bauer Edition. ......Oh and I don't have the original key

You need a good squirrel dog. I've got a Huskey/Healer cross that nabs squirrels right off the trees. Quick dog to do that!

Dave, I have two Queensland Heelers (both Blue Heelers...love me my Aussie Cattle dogs!) and one Husky. I would LOVE to see a pic of your dog!

Post some pics over in this thread! https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12972394

Drove the Ex today, washed my F-150 and their is a chance of rain tomorrow so I'm taking the Ex to work. I'm selling some old tires to a coworker but didn't want to get the back dirty.

Put in another order with RiffRaff, now I just gotta wait for the box with the yellow tape on it to show up. Ended up needing an ICP sensor, got fuel and oil filters, a muffler delete pipe, and some Rev X stuff as well. Gotta get it ready for the trip to my brother's wedding in MO. this July. 4 kids under the age of 8 on a 9-10 hour drive should be a blast, might need to find some stuff to do on the way down and make it a JOURNEY instead of just a trip.

You know, looking at the pic it almost looks as though it is rubbing on something. Is there anything up in "the hole" that looks like it was also being rubbed on?

When it rains; it pours. Use that water to put out the fire.




Looks like it got kinda hot under there. Does this count as a custom mod? But on a lighter note I started powder coating and I did the intake.



Not too bad for my first time. Small blemish on the underneath side, but no one will see that ever. And I got an elbow anyway, so if anyone is interested in this...
