Runs great. Will be teaching yet another child to drive stick in it this spring. Get offers to buy it all the time, but I seem to have a problem letting go.

 

I installed an aux converter to my radio so now my satellite radio head works through the aux button on the stereo. Also wired in a new power port using an unused factory plug I found behind the dash so that the new power port is switched power and I don't have to remember to turn off the satellite radio separately...when I deploy for work sometimes that little fact escaped my wife and me and I have come home to a dead battery in the truck. Won't happen again now...it also allows the use of an mp3 player for long trips and when my wife is tired of the radio.

 

sorry

 

Replaced the rear shocks and upper control arm.
I think the shock still had some more miles left but I wasnt sure...

 

With yesterday's installation of the Slamair kit I've finally completed lowering my truck with the 3/5 drop kit from Belltech.

 

Damn Craig looks brans new!

 

Today I gave it a nice bath and shined it up real Purdy!

 

I took my boss for a Hell ride on the interstate. Was going to show him how the nitrous worked. We were on the on-ramp, I purged the nitrous and held it as a joke, it looks like a steam engine rollin up over the cab. I roll on it and whose next to me as I merge? an unmarked. We waved "Hello" and I backed out of it. By the time the cop was out of the picture the bottle was too cold and it fell on its face. O well at least I didn't blow the cops doors off not paying attention.

 

Ordered a rear sway bar and some 4.10s

 

^^ looking for a sway bar myself, where'd you buy?

 

Got the following on order, and shipping confirmed.

Ford OEM Towing package Heavy Duty transmission oil cooler.

Have had it ordered but not sure where the heck it is. Smittybuilt roller fairlead license plate mount. Quadratech is shipping super slow. I have been tied up at work, but will call and give them grief tonight.

Got quotes for, and am ready to order. (have a payout from a sale of some personal items pending).
Set of Rancho RS5000 shocks.
Fresh set of Hercules Trail Digger MTs, 35x12.50/17.
Tactical Armor wincher bumper and lights.

I'm going to get the cooler in, and the tranny up to snuff, then ship it off to the tire shop for shocks, alignment, tires. Then paint that bumper, and get it, and the winch installed....

I am still teetering on going down to 33x12.50/17. I LOVE the look of 35s, but the MPG hit is pretty big when I went to 35s, and I cannot honestly say I never get any rub at all, and adding the weight of a heavy duty bumper and winch concerns me...

Of course if I had the $$ for gears, lockers, and a lift, there would be no question, 35s absolutely...

 

Real exciting, changed the oil at 3500 miles. Last time I did a change was January 2012, so tells you how much I drive it.

 

Autoanything.com Went with the Belltech one for 189

 

Do you happen to have a part #? They don't like the Belltech 5548 number.


Thanks, Clint

 

I think it's 5548, I am planning on getting one this year to... I want firm handling around corners, too much body role even lowered. I hate braking on exit ramps.
