Nice! Montana is epic! I go up to Libby every year! Favorite place in the world. Lake Koocanusa!

i did the same thing when i brought my truck home. thankfully they only had a license plate frame, so it was pretty quick and easy. My grandfather told me long ago, if they are not willing to pay you for advertising, then their name shouldn't be on your truck/car

LOL, first thing I do with a new truck, after grabbing a cup of coffee, is pleasure myself by removing any stickers, decals, and badges that won't leave a hole. Been doing that since 1994.
I don't get the 4times4 thing, I remember when no truck came with that crap stuck on the side. Almost as bad as a POS with Harley stickers and patches on every piece of clothing, and never ridden, let alone own one!

LOL, saw my '12 I traded in the other day, had to look close since the present owner stuck some cheapazz 4times4 stickers on it, and replaced the custom logos with stock chrome stuff. Some peoples kids!!!


Hey, it's not mine now, shouldn't bother me.

...and today I pulled my roommate's 2wd B2200 out of the ditch in a snowstorm. I felt a little bad about not sticking around to help with the full-ton work truck that was also in the ditch at the same spot (and whose misadventures had forced my roommate to slow down and lose traction), but he had someone else there already trying to help with another full-size truck and a chain, and I didn't think the physics were particularly favorable for a 6,000-pound truck in that scenario.

Also, I got one of my four snow tires delivered. Hopefully the other three show up tomorrow so I can get them installed Monday.

Moved it down the driveway to get the vette out, a quick wash and top off the fuel with a little "stabil" and might be parked for a while.
Time to drive the truck again ..... lol

Changed rear bumper to Raptor bumper in preparation for Raptor exhaust system. Bought cat-back Raptor exhaust system for $125. OEM down pipes with cats on order for just over $600. Will be using Corsa resonator delete with x-pipe. Also having to add 12 inches due to 6.5 bed. I sure hope it sounds good after all this. Take off Raptor bumper was $400 plus paint to match at $225.

Just a follow up to your last Apples; turns out that the red power wire coming from the battery, splits into two wires (one red, the other pink), we disconnected the pink one and presto...not more light. So my problem is now solved.

I had my truck greased today to resist the cold salty winters in Québec
Although the body is Aluminum I wanted to have my frame protected...and as the job was being done, might as well shoot all the rest...wouldn't heart
