What did you do to the expy today

[Habbibie]

My poor expy I only start it once a week and the day I wanna start it it's always in negative temps so battery needs a jump and doors are frozen shut... every time this happens lol

They matched to a Firestone shop close by. I checked 3 places and they were within 100 of each other. I don't know if it's a poilicy of the Ford dealer, but I do have work done there and they know me, so I always shop around and then I ask them. I also ask what corporate coupons they have going. IMHO if a dealership is good, they want to do work and they will try to earn it and earn return customers.

How long have you had them? Was it a conversion?

 

[Habbibie]

Close to 2 years, it burned out cause the bulb came loose off of the housing and got wet in the slushy snow where having

Edit: yes it was a conversion kit from xenonhid.com (6000k bulbs, 55w ballast)

Well started on the bumper today and noticed that the passenger side front frame horns was bent in wards 3/4" so only option I had was to cut the frame about 10"s back and bend it out wards so that it is straight.
And then welded it back together.
And trying to figure out where to cut the upper bumper around the grill is no fun .
I think I may have cut it short but don't really know for sure until we get the bumper mated up to the frame.
So tomorrow I should be ready to try and mount it up now that all the Bullsh** is done.

That bumper looks great. Gonna start mine later this week, so keep pictures coming please. I have a 2001 and was wondering are you putting any skid plating with that bumper?

I am thinking of adding a stinger and possibly a front skid plate but I got to get it mounted soon as this cold weather is gone . And I'm gonna build some Rock sliders.

I’m gonna stay away from the stinger cause if I go that far forward it’s gonna hurt either way. Will have pictures soon

The main purpose for me doing a stinger is to hopefully stop deer from going into my grill/hood when I nail one. We got deer heavy up here n North Georgia.
And I would never put my rig into a situation where the stinger would be touching anything that far forward..lol
I do alot of trail riding and mudding but nothing on that level..
My front bumper still sitting outside the shop waiting for some warmer days 45+ degrees so that I can get it mounted..
The back bumper now that I am thinking of building it from scratch myself this summer.
And I want to do a on air system where I can easily connect a air hose to the front or rear bumper when ever I air down or just need air in general..
And I want to do a 2" body lift so that I can hopefully fit 37' without to much trimming the wheel wells.
This week I'm ordering 4, 2" wheel spacers to push my wheels out past the wheel well a bit.
Mainly for that aggressive look..
But yeah I still got along ways to go to get it where I want it but then again where does it really stop... Lol... There's always something more

I melted the ice that formed in the hing space of the driver's door from all of the melting snow that froze as it ran down the windshield.

Installed new black and chrome front and rear ford emblems

 

[scoot0073]

Finally got the bumper mounted. I still gotta take it off and do some black spray paint over everything on the frame and mounts the do acouple more coats of Bedliner over the front.
Overall I like it it's not perfectly align in some areas but it is what it is from the passenger frame damage and rebuild.
But for what I use it for it's perfect [emoji2][emoji2]
Now the winch and lights

Scoot that looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.

Doesn’t mean I’m not old & hungry..... Its not old & happy; its being cognizant of the fact that when I am sick I might be contagious and exposing 20-30 other people to my sickness. Doing so also exposes their families. Then I may end up with individuals who can’t bring their kid(s) to daycare and are forced to stay home with their kids. Now I just single-handedly cut productivity exponentially. I don’t work by myself or with a partner; I work with 520 other people of whom I interact with constantly throughout the day.

You need to be careful making a comment like that, for some people it will be construed as extremely offensive. I can give you many examples of working through sickness and/or injury; but this isn’t a dick measuring contest.

Planning for a rainy day is another “Old” trait I guess. Even when I was young I kept my emergency fund for situations like this; hourly wage and too sick to work. Leaves you a little leniency to take the day to care for yourself and not have to worry about the lost wage for the day. Sometimes self preservation has to be priority 1, which is a HUGE responsibility for a bread winner of the family. If you don’t take care of yourself for 1 day, who is going to pay the bills when you spend 10 days in ICU because your strep throat complicated to bi-lateral pneumonia and you end up with scar tissue in your lungs and esophagus?

I had the same bug and was vomiting and crapping all day. It's a bummer. My grand daughter brought it home from daycare and passed it to the family.

With all due respect. your still a young man. Your just entering mid life. I have you by 30 years and I can say that they go way too fast. Take Care.

That bug is something FIERCE! My neighbor’s poor little 1 yo picked it up at daycare and it was absolutely heartwrenching to see such a sweet little girl so sick. 3 trips to the ER before they could get it under control.

No offense taken. In the Military world I am an “Old Man” on the verge of “Old as dirt”. I know its a different point of view, but man do I feel old. Hahaha
