Happy Friday... Hope most of you have fun plans for the weekend.

Looks like a nice day to work from home.

Just curious where are you all located?? I'm South of the river in Apple Valley.

Good morning Jesse, I'm Jim. I'm south of Shakopee. Heading to your neighborhood this afternoon.

You'd have loved doing the carbs on my Honda CBX Chris....

Piece of cake, just 2 more to clean :D

Good morning everyone!

Friday is here but not much of a weekend for me. Got a wedding to attend this weekend but sounds like they are having an open bar at the reception. Will be taking advantage of that!

I am in Morris in west central MN!

Hey Jim, wave at the munkys at the zoo for me lol.


I'm new to Fords (well Lincoln), and it has been a fun journey learning about the Navigator.

I am currently living in Monticello Jesse but we are building a house in Big Lake.

Still on FTE and other forums every day, but keeping quiet for the moment. :-wink

You have a smart phone? Can't you talk to type? Bummer you have to wait to get looked at again. How is the new house?

Ummm, well you see, I'm a bit south.

I'm from MN, but moved to NC last year.

I'm in a perpetual state of denial, that's a place, right?

Got the call from Toppers & More of South St. Paul yesterday and have a 1PM appointment to have it installed on the F150.
It will have the third brake light as well as a courtesy light that comes on when you open the hatch. The hatch will lock and unlock with the same factory Ford Key Fob.
So my question is this -
Why is this install supposed to take 2:45? Yes, 2 hours and 45 minutes!

MisterCMK 07-14-2017 10:45 AM

Probably because they are going to be careful with the truck. And running a wire to the battery. Horsing around with the toppers takes longer than you think to get it right.

Big-Foot 07-14-2017 11:01 AM

You're probably right Chris... I don't want them to rush it on a brand new truck...

DieselCamper01 07-14-2017 12:22 PM

And then there is the obligatory "test drive"....LOL

fordpower88 07-14-2017 12:58 PM

Plus they have to come up with extra reasons to charge you all that money for a topper! So if they get you to think it takes that long to do the install then you will have that warm fuzzy feeling inside when you hand them that big ol check!
