Oh Man. It has been soooo long since i have updated this thing. Lets see... From where I left off I had just built the sub box, well i have still not gotten that covered but i should be doing it this weekend. Then I went on holidays and I got a bug deflector for on the hood, oh and then I rolled over my truck to 200,000 kms. I can't believe it happened already! then yesterday i got a lot of work done. In mechanics class at school me and my friends took my rear diff apart and inspected it and put fresh oil in it which was fully synthetic so in other words not cheap. I also got my muffler welded on last night me and my friends did that as well. Today i inspected the transfer case and put new oil in there as well. Well I think I just about covered everything but i probably missed some stuff I did but i should get some pics up on here by the end of the weekend.

Let's see here. Recently I have been kind of tight for cash to throw at mods but i managed to get a few going. I originally wanted to go with the 09' badges for my truck because not only would it look good but I haven't really seen it done before. But lets face it there is a lot of better things you can do with 70 bucks (mainly a tank of gas). So I went ahead and ordered a set of the 04-08 badges off of ebay. I also ordered a decal for my back window but its a secret until it gets here. Hopefully these things will be here not too long from now but then again it has to come all the way up to Canada.

I am going to get inlays from Patriot Decals for the new F150 emblems. I was thinking of getting them in maroon since it is the closest match they have to my body color. Does anybody have any suggestions for what I should put as my custom text?

Patriot Decals!!

So i got the decal put on the back window and think it looks really good except I wish it was a bit bigger but its the biggest size that Patriot had. There are also pics from me cleaning and washing the truck.

Thanks. I think i might finally be able to get around to replacing the bumper next weekend. I am sure hoping it works out as i am so sick and tired of looking at that crooked dented bumper.

Funny Comment about the new decal. Yesterday i was cruisin along the highway goin about 120 and I see this big jacked up dodge creep up in my rear view mirror. I glance back, see him see the decal and then he flys by me in the other lane blowing black smoke all over my truck. He would go up a little bit then fall back closer to me and blow his black smoke all over me again. This went on for about 5-6k. I should've made him pay for my carwash to get all that sh*t off.

haha you deserve it for having that sticker. If I had a Chev hater sticker on my truck, I would never hear the end of it from the hicks at school. It would be hell!

It's funny how all the rednecks think Chevy is the best but the Chevys in are parking lots are always broken down.

Nice truck, but I dont know about the front window sticker the door chrome lining and the bug deflector.

Ya about the sub. It is still kind of a work in progress. I didn't do it how I wanted to do it I just made a square box for now. I am planning on getting two 12" subs that may be going underneath the back seats. When i do that I may go with my original console idea but I would rather not do it unless I have bucket seats. It is still uncovered as It seems that all of the fabric stores in town closed down for some reason so I will be getting the material over the remembrance day long weekend. I am going to go with a kind of vinylish leather. So here is the only pic I have on my computer of the sub box. Like I said it is still a work in progress.

I will be doing something about the front window sticker shortly. The door chrome is strictly for door edge protection and nothing else because of careless friends. The Bug deflector again is for protection and I have heard that it redirects air flow over top of the truck for better gas mileage or something.
