Ordered some retrofit fogs. Thinking of going to xb 35 watt bulbs because Philips 85122 don't have the tingly cute blue hue on the cutoff line when it hits the road signs. Also ordered a new third brake light to paint red and then smoke, red hellas are starting to be old plain sight to me.

No pics been too lazy to upload as well...and school keeping me busy still...

^ I thought PHP stopped selling Gryphons? But they've been going through "issues" for a while, unfortunately.

I can't remember why I think/thought they stopped selling them for some reason. Probably wrong and thinking of them discontinuing an older Edge product.

Buy a used Gryphon and have a custom file made for it if that's the case. Last spring I had them revise my tune and I had it ready in under a week.

Ordered a few things today. 24 rockers/lash adjusters. Still have a slight tick that's driving me nuts. Figured if I'm tearing into it I'll do all of them. Going to order a coil set as well. Also looking at trans rebuild kits. My 2-3 shift is awfully slow these days. But I'm going to get the engine figured out before that.

Any good places online for trans rebuild kits? I've checked out Oregon performance transmission.

What did I do to mine today? Cleaned it up inside and out. It's going to the dealer tomorrow and probably won't be coming home. There's not a thing wrong with the old 2004 Wedgewood Blue and Sand Supercrew, she's been a mighty good rig in every one of the 131,000 miles. But since I'm mostly retired now, the wife is going to be retiring around January, we think we wanna go see our girls and grand baby. I'd rather do it in a new one. So I'm going to see a friend that owns a dealership and he has several that are attractive to our wants and needs. By noon tomorrow, I should be in a new one. But I just can't make up my mind which one.....STX SCrew, XLT Extended cab, Platinum SCrew......maybe a Schwinn for 2.

Wash and waxed today, did a good cleaning with the shop vac because I parked under a tree and now its home to thousands of ants. Put some traps in the truck to get the rest cause I couldn't get them all. They were behind the doors, in the dash, under all exterior weatherstripping...everywhere.

I've really been meaning to take it off for a while now. It just always slipped my mind. It does look way better. Thanks! I do plan on getting some black and silver emblems. Not quite to the top of the list yet.
