well, I gave her the best wash I could for being at mom's place with limited everything.....hahah.


I removed the dealer sticker, she's my truck not a rolling ad for humber motors (or ford for that matter, but badges will have to wait)


made a nasty little brown discovery....


last but not least, heat shield #3 is off, muffler leak is fixed but the guts are still blew out and rattling inside the muffler. I hated the thing anyway, so I wont complain too much about having to replace earlier than planned....





grr, salty truck





relatively clean truck.....

I feel bad for all of you who have to wash your trucks in such cold weather. The coldest I've ever washed my truck in is around 65 hah. Truck looks good though newf. That rust?

nfldfordman

Yup that's rust

Thanks

Yessir. The sticker sounds like a ricer, so I was going to ditch it anyway later on when I had the spare cash

Well now the baffles are blew out so she sounds like she's falling apart, so I'm taking a loss to correct that I guess

I've been busy the last couple days...
Yesterday I swapped out my JL 250/1 for my 500/1 to drive the JL CP108 a bit better. I then ran all of the wiring to install a Punch 400a4 I had laying around to boost my mids & highs. Got all of that done and was installing a set of Pioneer 6x8's in the back doors because I had them for another project and never used them. Hooked them up and they sounded like crap... At that point, it was 1am so I called it a night.
Today, went to Best Buy, picked up a set of JBL 2 way, 6x8's for the back doors because I"m very happy with the JBL 6x8 components up front. Hooked them up, tuned my amps a bit and put the back of my truck together. I got a new Sirius unit for the Kenwood in dash and hooked that all up.
Next I put a tint strip across my windshield. All of the other windows were done when I bought the truck and it just bugged me that it didn't have a strip.
Took a 10 minute break to come in and throw a pork butt on the smoker, then back to the garage.
I then decided it was a good time to swap out my '08 F-150 Emblems for the newer style. I pulled all of them, cleaned off the adhesive, polished out the areas and installed the new emblems. Just came in and say down after a pretty productive weekend.

Washed her, put some light smoke license plate covers on, and some switchback led turn signals with an ep27 relay. Tomorrow I plan to take the grille to get painted.
