I notice F150 emblems in your cup holders. Is that an addition by you, or did it come that way?

My truck is not the best 'candidate' for a cb...needed to install with the least impact to form over function.
Cup holders and all other cubbies have rubber color matching insert set from eBay...nice subtle touch.

Added a Rigid Ignite work light to my bedside racks, plug and play into the factory bed light harness.

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.....
Hey Tomasulo. I appreciate your input. I'll have to let this winter slip by but next year I'll go for the alternate rims. Being in the Windsor area even though we get snow the weather allows for a regular cleaning. Fortunately i can keep my truck in the garage which helps a bit. The tires i have now bfg 275/60/20's i want to change to 305/55/20's. I can put the 275's on the steel rims and the larger ones on the fuels. Wouldn't mind winning the lottery LOL.

Understand. None of these lend themselves to that, but you pulled it off nicely. As subtle as you can be. Which antennae is that? If, anything, people will think you're a spook for the CIA or something.

Thanks for the compliments...I think ��

The antannae is an eBay: 50 watt, center load, through the glass design.

LOL, it was a compliment. Thanks, I have the radio bookmarked, and I'll find an antennae. It's going to wait for warmer weather though, I have a barn, but no heat.

First an oil and filter change. Getting better at it, not much of a mess this time. Put some cardboard up to deflect oil when removing drain plug. Boy, does it come out fast, even when leaving fill cap in place. I take fill cap out when draining hoping it helps the oil drain more fully. Then to the car wash for a cleaning. Tomorrow, we're driving to North Carolina for a couple of days. Also took pictures of exhaust to post on my thread about Raptor exhaust conversion.
