Drove to the farm to get everything sighted in and ready for hunting season and got told about a very secret very lucrative gobbler spot. So happy I could poo my pants!!!

Plstidipped the tan trim all around and the running boards. Let's see how long it lasts on them :)

That's the spare in front :) I'm also thinking about dipping the mags or replacing them with black steelies with a chrome center cap.

I love steelies. One day I might get some for my truck.

Baled hay. Each load was over 200 bales and the truck performed better then my old jeep. Felt like there was nothing back there. Oh and yes thats is a super duty sitting there NOT hauling hay.

They look great. Please give all the specs on these.

Nothing special. Grabbed them off of Amazon. I have seen similar ones on ebay. I use amazon just because for me it's a lil easier to return something. HID kit is from Amazon also. 6K lights. I will be doing Projector fogs shortly.

Installed a pair of clear Whelen TIR3 led's in the grill. They are hooked up a flasher that also flashes the OEM fog lights. (I don't like headlight flashers.)

I haven't had a chance to use them responding to any fire or ambulance calls, but i do thinkl they look great.

I'll try and post a video this coming weekend.

I tore off the factory 2 1/4" tail pipe and replaced the turbo muffler I installed a couple months ago with a 2 1/2" Flowmaster 40 with a turn down tip.
MUCH throatier and feels more responsive. First short highway test after doing the muffler and a Gotts mod showed an increase of 2mpg at 70mph. Definitely need more road testing! :D

Redid all the fittings on the air tank and air lines for my train horns and reinstalled the tank. Looks like I managed to stop the air leak I had. Finally able to blast my horns once again after 4 months of silence :)

Got new tires put on. When I bought it the tires were shot and the wrong size.
I went with stock size Falken Rocky Mountain tires. They seem pretty good so far.
I also put on a new set of struts, Raybestos quick struts. Between the new tires and new struts it rides like a new truck.

let's see...

Redid (again) the battery terminals and cable ends. Changed the battery terminals to Marine style and changed to nuts instead of thumb screws, crimped and soldered ring terminals on all battery cables (truck and winch), and re-did the fog light wiring.

Unfortunately got the terminals mixed up on the fog relay and ended up frying the relay and ground cable, but got a new one installed and a new heavy gauge ground cable made up. Now just have to install the new ground and connect the fog switch to the new harness...
