Son in Law had a pair of pioneer TS-A6880R on hand and gave them to me. Installed them today and they make a world of difference over the stock front speakers. Also, I had a tear in my drivers seat and so far have not found a good set of seat covers that fit right so I took a piece of iron on patch and at covered it so that hopefully it wont tear or spread anymore. Cheap fix, 1.57 at walmart. Now hopefully I will find me a set of seat covers for Christmas (that and maybe a single in/dual out muffler that has a good sound).
Dropped my transmission pan, cleaned her up all nice and pretty, installed a B&M drain plug in it, threw in a WIX filter and put in 5 quarts of Motorcraft Mercon V. I also used a small amount of black "ultra" RTV by Permatex on the threads, and the sides of the nuts that touch the pan. I was told the guy who I bought it from was **** on maintenance, well he must have been, because there was no "yellow bobber" in the pan. So I know the transmission has been serviced before! I wasn't sure what side to put the white washer on, I figured over time it could become brittle and break apart causing problems, so I put it on the outside. Absolutely no leaks. On to the pics:

Awesome mod! Been wanting to do this for awhile now.
Finally got my overlay done on the tailgate it looks like cr$p IMO the badge was really screwed up to begin with the clear had started coming off (this is why it appears to have air bubbles in it). I started with some carbon fiber vinyl wrap then put the silver overlay on top of that. I think I might redo it later on.
Heres a tip, lightly mist the back side of the decal with water (do not use anything with alcohol, it will weaken the adhesive) . Then slowly position the overlay where you want it. Then push firmly on one edge, either on the right side or left side, then while holding whichever side, pull up the whole overlay, then lay it back down smoothing it from the side you held down. This will work almost all air bubbles out. Then use a heat gun or hair dryer to help conform all the edges. I do it this way with 99% free of air bubbles.
Put on the grill that came on the truck when I bought it, but it used to be chrome and I painted it. Sits over the honeycomb, which you can see and I don't like, but I think I'm gonna cut the honeycomb out or paint it black. Put a white emblem on too.
