Installed my new Edge programmer, and checked another day off waiting for my wheels and tires I ordered last week I also made the huge mistake of making f150online my homepage again. You guys are a bad influence on my bank account!!! Ill post a pic when I get the new shoes hopefully early this week!! Gotta make a new sig cuz she dont look like that no more.

 

got a king ranch grill and put it on my lariat. I love it.

 

just been driving it. trying to muster up the courage to wash it in this heat.

pulled a log out of the way the other day on the land i bought, used it to carry firewood, been doing great.

 

know what im doin tomorrow what sand paper did u use and what kind of primer thanks your truck look great

 

collin, I hate to burst your bubble, but it was much more than a day job.

I took out my DA for the bumpers and the rocker panels. 80 grit on the bumpers until they turned a bronze color, and 180 grit on the rockers until they looked good and scuffed up after a wipe down with some M.E.K.

I used black epoxy primer on both surfaces just so that the EZ Liner would have something REALLY good to grab onto.

All in all, this took me 3 days to do. I told myself that I was going to do it like a pro and I did. I was careful, took my time, and payed VERY close attention to what I did. (DA's aren't very easy on the paint if you know what I mean...)

Anyways, I was gonna do a write up some day of everything I did. Basically what the pros do at the line-x places and such, but I just wanted to do it myself. Not to mention the quotes that I got up here in Alaska ranged from $900 all the way up to $1500!!!

 

Painted the cowling and wiper arms. Also did the brake booster adjustment for a stiffer brake pedal. Next thing is to paint the faded fender flares and then talk someone into waxing it.

 

i almost cleaned my TB and MAFS then realized i was missing a very important tool. i guess that counts as doing something?

 

This morning I programmed my truck with the free Edge Evolution I acquired. Wow, a bigger difference than I expected. Can't wait to move to extreme!

 

started installing my handles with ami chrome straps. did the street scene wiper cowl and ptm mirror caps............and dynamatted the doors

 

Well the brake booster adjustment went to far. Going to have to back it off some tomorrow. If you guys havent done this and you have soft brakes I highly recommend it.

 

Tinted my second set of tails darker then my previous ones. Depending which I like more, i'll be selling the other set. Comparison old and new:



and went darker with my 3rd brakelight

 

Over the weekend...

Changed Plugs, Changed Oil, Changed Fuel Filter, Rotated Tires. Just hit 96K miles

 

Had to perform emergency alternator replacement surgery in front of an autoparts store while on a road trip Saturday.

It went out quick with no warning. Can't complain I guess considering the truck has 145k miles on it.

 

washed it, changed oil/filter, changed fuel filter.

 

Looked at it sitting in front of my house while I wait for my appointment to get her fixed
