I can use my personal but try not to get on the internet too much with it...my personal has 10 gigs of data....sometimes I use it as a hot spot for the work phone

Btw...just so flipping busy with work and the kids sports it's not even fair that I can't surf the net

The instructors at my son's Tae Kwon Do class always get irritated because the parent's are always surfing the net on their phones! I finally told them one day that when you're a parent, this 45-minute window of time at class is likely the only chance all day that a parent can just kind of "tune-out" and do something that is interesting to them!

Don't worry, Coy. I'm probably going to do the programmer, too.

Nice!

Truck's been slow to start more and more when I take it out now. Ordered a new starter and going to put it in tomorrow. Been doing. It here an there the past 2-3 years but worsened recently.

Really enjoying the car...such a nice vehicle.

Nah I'm happy with the ride height. Any higher than this and the truck loses some of its practical usefulness, in my opinion. I'll be removing the 1.5" leveling kit and installing these at the 1.5" setting in its place. The truck takes bumps like a 1 ton dually with the steel spacers, and it was getting kind of old Plus, these are a much more IFS-friendly way to level the truck. And as an added bonus, I got these new from a member on F150forum for a really good deal. I was planning to do it anyway around 50k miles, and the truck is already at 40k so I snagged these when I saw the opportunity. I'll get the rears as well pretty soon.
