There are a lot of items we buy for our trucks that cause the kids to be without shoes for months, but later on we realize that the expenditure was really worth it, besides, it grows character when they are barefooted! I have gulped a few times when placing an order, but smile often when I use the item, tool, or device and know that the momentary pain was/is worth it!

My oil change helper is a "ValvoMax" but I also have a metal oil pan. Lucked out on that one. My F-150 has it installed, and the wife's Flex will have one next oil change. Uses a piece of tubing for draining and can go directly into a jug. Only negative is that the opening is somewhat smaller so warm oil is a requirement, unless you plan to take all day doing the oil change. Around $45 depending on where you buy it.

Now if we could come up with a foolproof device to stop the oil filter mess.

Had the headlights installed and replaced the amber grill lights. Installed the tow mirrors a few days ago. Here she is full lights on.

I bought an 8/125 PremiumCARE ESP, and changed out the original wiper blades that lasted 2.5 years with Bosch Envision's.
Not sexy, but I'm committed now.

Looks great! Where did you get the white grille lights? I’ve been wanting to swap my Amber’s out as well.

Mine lines up pretty good with the cutout in the skid plate.
