Took it mudding, now it stalls going in reverse or if I stop quickly. The 5 speed swap might be coming earlier then I was hoping.

started taking the dash cluster out of the f150 in an attempt to practice taking it out and removing the green tint so i can get blue LEDs for my back light.

Picked up 4 used 33 12.50 15s for $100. Too bad on of em is bald in the middle But the rest of them are pretty good. Not bad for 100 bucks. It'll help my highway gearing I hope.

Brought home a set of stock aluminum wheels for the black hole, and i think i bought half a truck, the cab is near perfect, and the doors, plus power windows etc, but the frame is toast, and most of the good parts are already on the black hole.

Slapped a 35 12.50 15 on a stock rim, eyed it up on the truck, and ordered the glass fenders, hope to fit the 35s with almost no lift in front, and drop shackles in back, its a long way from Baja, and the local rednecks just ain t gonna get it.
I found my inspiration for the bumpers for this one
A guy is selling these on GFB,

I think its clean mean and simple. Now to get some full race sewer moly, schedule 40, or what ever is in the piles

Took the last stab I am going to take until I can get with someone who can weld at fixing my leaking exhaust
as you can see the exhaust isn't quite lined up right with the header. I added some copper ultra permatex. Then jacked it up to smash it. Then tightened the flange down. I really need that side re-worked.
