The customizing place just called and tolf me my Tonneau cover came in today!! I can't go over to have it installed until next friday. Just thought that I'd tell someone who cares, my wife and no one at work seems to be as excited about it as I am!!

I care man! Hope it looks good!

Has it got electro pneumatic struts ?
Is the beat frequency oscillator phased with the lower finky widget?
What color is it?
Has it got the built in solar powered ventilation fan for cooling the bed when carrying produce?
Was it wind tunnel tested?
(You know the fuel consumption will be worse unless you specified the flared chamfered undercut edges...but I expect you did)

Cheers....let us know !

 

LMAO @ LENT....

My co-workers think i've lost it.... I'm crying in here laughing.

No electro on my pneumatic struts, thank you very much. The beat oscillator is a selectable for in-phase or off-phase with the finky widgets, but, as we all are aware, those wigets wear like crazy if you use them out of phase. I went with a wind-driven turbine for ventilation, as 9 months of the year the solar panel would be covered by frozen water vapor particulate matter. As was not to sacrifice appearance for fuel economy, I opted for non-flared edges, and as I have learned, the raw figerglass look is not only stylish, but also the fiberglass slivers serve as a deterent to theft.
As for the color, I didn't know that I could specify a certain color. I just told the guy on the phone to order whatever was cheapest.
I plan to do my own wind resistance testing, consisting of driving in reverse as fast as possible with the lid up. That should allow me to get a feel for the handling characteristics should I ever need the tonneau cover as a supplemental force transfer unit (sail).
Thank you for asking, Lent, no one at work today even thought to ask some of the most basic questions that you have put forth today.

Force Transfer Units are tricky. Be very careful with that if you have to bring it up on the mast. The aft deck is sensative when the cows play in the morning. Careful there buddy... careful.

Wow....can we come and film the reverse driving test with the tonneau up....that really WILL be fun !!!

 

ROTFLMAO.....man I am forwarding this whole thread to my b/f to prove to him I am not insane....and If I am well,.....at least I am not alone here.

and as for video taping...I will offer up my assitance in that....I lot's of experience with the video camera.

 

Thank you for the film offers. I have decided to hire a professional cinematographer to recored this awesome event. I plan to release it as a straight-to-video direct market launch. "Ford f150 King Ranch Supercrew Owners Gone Wild" Has a nice ring doesn't it? Look for the TV commercials soon.

Skagel...exactly what SORT of video camera experience do you have?

Say n'more, nudge nudge, wink wink, elbow elbow !

 

That is too funny.


Skagel-Lent brings up an interesting question. I'm anxious to hear any response.


-=-RP-=-

 

Skagel,

You don't need to worry, you'll have plenty of company if it comes down to who's looney and who's not. I think you can say you have a whole gaggle of looney KR friends, including me. As for video tape experience, you keep the details as it might be too much information.

Bronco,

I see you're a full fledged KR nut case now, welcome aboard. Have you been taking your KR pills regularly, it sure seems like you have and maybe a few extras. I'm waiting for the commercials you mentioned.

Rock,

Your sigs are in competition with snow flakes, they seem to be all unique! Lighten up on the seat conditioner man, that stuff can kill brain cells you know, but then again, so does crack and it may be cheaper than the conditioner, I dunno!

Lenny,

Looks like you're back on a regular basis, glad to see you posting as it makes me feel like someone here is still sain, or is it insane? Hope all is well with you and yours.

All you guys totally crack me up with your silly discussions, I feel right at home though.

Later,
~DM~

 

you men have the dirtiest minds I swear........I have a 4 year old and I have been video taping him since birth......actually had the camera in hand while I was in labor, but that may be TMI.

 

We believe you !
