What did you do to the expy today

[hammerg26]

Rain. What is rain? I am not sure I remember what it is.

I just realized tomorrow is my first entire day off since July 4th. That's 4.5 months working 7 days a week... Sounds brutal when you think about!

!!!!!HAPPY THANKS GIVING EVERYONE!!!!!

Well not today, but more over the last couple days. I took the expy on a trip, in fact its first trip outside the US. Canada! We left on the 17th, crossed the border a couple days after, and returned a couple days after. Put about 3000 miles on it in that time, not bad.

Oh and I also turned 21 in Canada [emoji1] I happened to also spend the vast majority of my birthday driving in the Expy in fact, so while not a drunken good time it was a very memorable birthday!
Mandatory pics here;
Driving through a snow storm on our way up
Some craziness, never seen ice form like that before
Yeah Wyoming was cold that morning...
Crossing into Canada
Mandatory Tim Hortons
and crossing back into the US finally.

Sorry for the long post, wanted to share with y'all

Not today but about a week and a half ago I swapped out the coils again however, this time for some HiPo coils.
The change was immediately noticeable. She's quicker, more responsive and I've already gained 2.5 miles per gallon.

I knew the previous coils were shit.

What sort of coils? Do the change yourself?

Holly molly I finally figured out how to adjust the headlight beam, what a retarded design and location for the adjuster (THANKS ALOT FORD) now both headlights and fogs are leveled. I had my left light pointed at the stars and the right was aimed lower than the cutoff line for the fogs.

I went with a set from eBay. (queue the flame comments) but I've also ran three separate sets now and I have gained some knowledge through trial.
I am lucky enough to have the 2v 5.4 so the job isn't that bad. In all, it took a little over 2 hours. The tougher ones being #6, 7 & 8.

I took it to the shop to have the transmission flushed/filled today. Mechanic said it was "fairly dirty" and I've only got 104K on the clock, so I would hate to see what it looked like if I left until Ford's recommended 150K.

Nope. Easy (and cheap) to add though.

It was a kit I found on Ebay but can't seem to find the link now. Even when going to my Orders area. It was $20

Edit: I remember that I did buy the last one.

Figured out my LSD doesn't work for crap.

It snowed last night and the neighborhood streets are super slick. I was trying to go up my driveway and I lined up both front wheels so they were both touching the curb and tried to climb the driveway. Nada. One wheeler peeler. Peg-legged burn out. And not enough traction to climb.

Also spun out a few times. Like I said, streets are slippery.

No.

§ 547.305. RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF LIGHTS.

(c) A person may not operate a motor vehicle equipped with a
red, white, or blue beacon, flashing, or alternating light unless
the equipment is:
(1) used as specifically authorized by this chapter;
or
(2) a running lamp, headlamp, taillamp, backup lamp,
or turn signal lamp that is used as authorized by law.

The chapter only permits flashing for turn signals.

That said, I don't imagine the police would stop someone for it unless they were simply looking to manufacture PC (probable cause) to stop a vehicle for some other reason. For example, a "420" sticker might inspire them to pull over a vehicle, but they can't pull over a vehicle for the sticker, so they look for some other insignificant violation to justify the stop.

Even in 4WD?
