With the wife being on vacation and we r using her SUV the truck is still sitting in the garage. Makes a great place to put the critter food bags. The cats enjoy watching the critters eat. The hawk loves when the pigeons are out in force eating. Instant Thanxgiving dinner. Starting the engine build and got the head studs in and the drive chains coming. Think I will just get a new 5.4L block and build it up.

Pull the sheets when I get back home and shake the hair out.
These catch about 80% of the hair and makes cleanup much easier.
I used to do that but now I just use a shop vac to clean the mess. Much faster and easier.

We went to a job interview together, so I can afford to pay for mods.

Yesterday I had to replace the Rack & pinion assembly for the 2nd time in a year. Recently took it in for a wheel alignment & shop mechanic said inner tie rods were worn on the rack & pinion. I couldn't believe they would wear so fast, as it was just replaced in March. It might have been easier to just replace the tie rods, but that wasn't covered under warranty, so replace the complete unit & truck is waiting for wheel alignment.

Are you the original owner? How many km's on the vehicle? What is your driving terrain like?

This is my first F150, so I do not know what to expect. I've always had Fords, and their front ends and suspensions always wore quickly, including my last, a 2009 Edge. Complete rebuild front to back, under warranty. Was still needing work on the front at lease end, so gave it up.

So much for the 3500lb towing capacity also.

Was time to give the truck a wash.. Finally can park in the garage again since August. (Stupid people drove into the garage door and part of one wall)

You couldn't park in your garage because someone wrecked into it?

Yup. Pushed the wall in and cracked the wall studs, overhead door wouldn't close/open after we got our trucks out.
Didn't look overly bad, but did enough damage to prevent use of it.

Cree light bar last night. Fit is perfect with zero modification except drilling two holes in the upper IC bracket.
