Like those rims for winter. Can you just get those anywhere. Think I might like to do that as well, not sure how my Fuel Rims will hold up with all the salt etc here in Ontario. I was told that painted rims by fuel are very durable though.

Hey! I would recommend saving your Fuel rims and storing them for the winter. I wouldn't trust how well or not, they'll hold up to the crap weather we get here in Canada.... and the salt and sanded roads. I picked these black winter rims up from my Ford Dealer a few years back. They ordered them in, and arrived in a day or two. These are 18" wheels and tires I had on my 2010 and 2011 F150's and now I have them on the 2015. My stockers on the 2015 are 20". The 18" don't look too shabby for winter. The winter rims are not very expensive.... I would look into it.

Second to my post, I just wouldn't risk leaving those nice Fuel rims on for the winter, no matter how durable some say the paint is. I bought brand new Trail-FX step bars for my last F150, powder coat painted black and the whole shebang. One winter, and the paint was peeling off them.....didn't even last one full year. I loved those bars! Any wheels or assessories like that, I don't trust.... they truly are not made to endure Canadian winters, or any places winters for that fact, when snow, ice, rain, salt & sand are part of the equation. Just my two cents worth.....

New to forum, so not much to report. Installed BAKFlip MX4 Toneau Cover and put wide rubberbands on the sliding tray in the center console to keep it from sliding. Tough part is trying to decide whether to drive Mustang Convertable (topless) or Truck.
What did I do? Well it was a couple of days ago, but I had installed a Flowmaster 40-series Delta Flow in place of the factory muffler. I made a video:

Not bad for a 50watt though the glass antannae during 15 minute testing...swr reading is less than 1.3 which pleasantly surprised me with this set up.

That's pretty decent SWR, Do me a favour? When you get out and talking on it, let me know what you think. I feel naked without a radio, and this just might work well for me. Is there a reason why you mounted the antennae down that low?
