got runned into.... jackass in a honda odyssey came out of nowhere and plowed into passenger side front wheel... hit me hard enough to deploy his airbags, pushed his frontend back to the drivers front tire bending the rim. I have one decorative lug on the outside of my rim missing and a small rubmark on the tire. Absolutely no other damage. "built Ford Tough" not just a gimmick...
Helped a friend pick up a couple of large items from big box store, including an assembled barbecue grill. Just try that in the Shelby GT350! Miraculously I remembered to put tie downs in the vehicle but then went true to form and didn't get a picture until almost done unloading. Was nice to not have to borrow a vehicle from someone.
I had to replace a reverse light bulb. I had these 7w projector bulbs that were pretty bright and liked them so I bought a few extra sets years ago. Last year, one side went out so I replaced it but it was my last set (only used one). I looked online and there were these new 45 LED 921 bulbs that claimed 1000 lumens so I ordered a few sets but never installed them. They were $3/pr from china so I ordered 3 sets (6 weeks to receive) to keep on hand.
The other side went out a few days ago so I figured I'd test the new bulbs to see if they're as bright or just stick with the 7w bulbs I had. The new ones are as bright or brighter but also throw light to the sides rather than like a flashlight beam of the 7w.
The old 7w bulbs I had
The new ones I just installed
The new bulbs are on Amazon for $10/pr but with Prime 2 day shipping. I got mine from eBay for $3/pr and took about 4 weeks.
Are they plug and play or did you have to change something to get them to work? I’d chang them all to LED if if they are just remove bulb and insert the LED. I’m not about to mess around with the harness or electrical wiring.
That's funny you say that, our previous boat had a 4.3 in it that my dad rebuilt as a project. Used all spare parts and stuff he found out of a junkyard and we kept it for like 5 years and it ran great, and it was running great when we sold it. Very solid engines. These Volvo Pentas in this boat were made for 2 years, so parts are basically impossible to find. Computer went and my dad had to convert the EFI to a 4 barrel lol, it's always a bug we're trying to figure out. I think this time we've got all the kinks worked out, time to enjoy it for once lol
Good luck with yours!!
Mine is a Volvo Penta behind the 4.3GL. Its only a 2 bbl carb right now but it pushes my 20 ft runabout to 48 mph so I doubt I switch to the 4 bbl setup unless it falls in my lap. I hope yall have it all ironed out and can spend some time on the water now. lol

You might want to have the front end inspected though, something besides the rim and lugnut had to absorb some of that impact!
I watched a 2012-ish GMC Denali with awd and a 2wd F350 try to pull an F-550 rollback out of a ditch it slid into (8" of rain so far this week). When they gave up I decided to give my old truck a shot and after a little tire spinning in 4-low, pulled him out. I honestly didn't think it could do it, but I can say I'm proud of the old girl.
Even before I thought I would ever own a pickup, I loved the look of some of the more customized trucks and then the factory Raptor. So when the first pickup made its way into my driveway I decided to make my own. Watched a couple YouTube videos, hopped on the internet and ordered some vinyl graphics and installed them myself this past week after removing the factory 4 by 4 STX sticker. I am really happy with the way it came out, not only does the flat black break up the red a little bit, it makes it a little different than other trucks I've seen.
You got the ones that actually fit your exact taillights though, I'm jealous. If it bothers me I figured I could just get some more vinyl and clean it up but I'm happy as is...for now. Nice truck, love the wheels.
