What did you do to your truck today?

Replaced my serpentine belt. While that's boring, I used this as a teaching point with my wife on why it's important to invest $30 now rather than hundreds of dollars later by ignoring it. I'm addicted to working on the F150, I admit, but at least I'm laying the groundwork for future $$$. Lol

Yesterday I installed my new Moog F250 springs...did not get the level I had hoped for...but it rides and handles amazing now.
Also swapped both tie rods. I counted threads, turns, and measured. It will get an alignment soon. Probably going to get some spacers to get the 2" lift I wanted up front.
Today I installed an MTX 2ch to power the JBLs in the doors. Now...the head unit isn't special, but I managed to blow all my radio fuses trying to get it to work. Not my first head/amp wiring job, but it's my first time doing it where I've had to run power and ground and all sorts of things for the head because the previous owner butchered it. Antenna connector is shot. Decided to set the amp up to play using my phone as an input....
No more head unit. All controlled from the phone, and it sounds great. Looks ghetto as hell.

You don't want to add spacers under the moogs - you will not be able to get it aligned to properly. Any more lift and you will need drop brackets for the radius arms/ I-beams.

Drove the '95 from the old farm (170 miles) to my house so I can finally figure out the XMSN shifting issue.
Prior to the drive I replaced the starter solenoid (starts now, whadayaknow?), front shocks (both leaking), and both door latch posts (both rattling-no bushings).
