Hey, guys. And suggestions on what a set of driver and passenger airbags should go for? I'm finally getting fed up with crap taking up space in the garage. Thanks.

Yeah towing needs have increased but more than that, we need a bigger cab size as well. Extended cab is just a little to cramped to add a second car seat in it! Bumping up to a crew cab and the newer cabs have SO much more room. Ive got a 2021 f250 ordered and hoping to get it by end of april unless the microchip shortage screws me over. I want to keep the 10th gen has a backup/winter truck but not sure if we want to keep it around or sell it while we still can.

It is but ive already decided we need more land LOL. Are long term goal is to get 25+ acres and build a house, we almost bought 60 acres before the seller back out on us. So at that point being stuck living with the inlaws, we jumped at the chance to get this! Its definitely nice dont get me wrong, but Im still waiting for land lol. Ill get some pics of our barn soon, thats probably my favorite part

Good morning Bear. Do you have that garage just the way you want it yet ?

Long time no see 2100. Sounds like your doing great, good to hear.

You'll love the F250. It's twice the truck, you'll feel that right away. . A new one though, - couldn't stomach that price new, unless it was an XL w/6.2 which are still excellent trucks.

Mann, how time fly's, -Grandson #2 has his first B-day next week. Cracks me up when he gets laughing. The little guy is crawling everywhere now, - on a mission to find somebody's /anybody's phone. The kid loves phones, shoe laces as well. lol.

2100, how's your little one doin, first B-day yet ? It's a fun age for sure. I missed a lot of that with my girls, working long hours back then. Six, sometimes seven days a week......missed a lot.

Hey guys... I'm sure that just like everywhere else, catalytic converter theft is on the rise here. Just wondering if any of you have used any of the catalytic converter anti-theft devices? Had a 2020 box truck get its cat stolen a couple weeks ago.... 2400 dollars!! I want to throw something on the F150.

I’ve seen that’s recent become more popular. I haven’t used any but I’ve seen some great designs for them. No one makes one for our generation but with a metal brake you can manufacture one easily. Just make sure you have drain holes. The Prius has one that’s really nice. I’d make one out of stainless to prevent rust

I have six catalytic converters, and two pre-cats in storage. I've read they are going for 200 a piece for scrap right now. I guess I could fund my Holley Sniper off of that, eh?

Thanks for the idea.... I'll have to see what I can scrounge up for scrap.
