Makes our snow here look puny by comparison! Lol, oh well, we are a lot further away from the Arctic Circle here. I would love to visit up there someday, tho...

have not thought of that, i do plan to shave the tailgate anyhow of the emblems and key hole. keeping the wiper and t-handle though for function as it is a daily driver.

spring update! she needs a good polish and wax plus good interior detail but getting there!

plus i'm getting a set of '03 f-150 lariat 17s soon, trying to decide what i'm going to do since i'll have 3 sets of wheels/tires.
