(1) What did you and your truck do today?

My truck is only two weeks old to me, so I've been playing a bit. Today, I ran the wires for my iPhone from the head unit under the console and into the center storage area. Then I hard-mounted part of a phone holder so I can keep stuff in the center without burying the phone. Installed the head unit and extra USB port. I replaced the grey parts of the console around the shifter and center console lid with brand news pieces. Had the windows tinted a few days ago. Added the billet grille and Homelink module today as well.

I realized yesterday I was selling what I planned to haul our "new" travel trailer home tomorrow, my '09 GMC Canyon. Been trying to sell it for like 3 weeks, and of course, sold it today. Nice to have cash, but I had not yet wired the new Escape for a brake controller or trailer power, because I didn't think we would get an trailer till next spring. My 2001 F150 I bought a few weeks ago (maybe 3), didn't have a hitch on it. Well, lo and behold, what an easy vehicle to get ready to tow a travel trailer. A plug for the brake controller under the dash, so plug and play there, and plug and play out back for a 7 pin RV connector. Took maybe 2-1/2 hours to wrap up the whole thing. So am now prepared for a trip to New Jersey tomorrow to pick up a 2012 ParkLiner. Plus I bought all new brake stuff and a couple ball joints for install over the next few weeks. Pics when I get a chance!

Drove to my grandfathers funeral (RIP) which was my first road trip in my truck. I was pretty impressed by getting 20.4 MPG on the way to Port Lavaca, Texas from Houston. On the return trip, I averaged 19.4 MPG but I had a 20 MPH headwinds but still handled like I was hoping. Next trip is next month for a deer hunting trip to West Texas with my dad.

Towed the sea doo in to get winterized, first time towing with the new F150, seemed good.

Today I installed LED's for my map, dome, and license plate lights. Puddle lights and vanity lights LED's on the way. No pics as I can't really get one that shows the light right.
