Nice find on the parts, AK! You've got quite the knack for finding deals.

I'm feeling your pain on the install..... I noticed the Escape's high pressure line is starting to leak a little bit at the crimps. Looks like one hell of a fun job. That rack is not going to be fun to get to.

This is the lawn gas hose I've got. It's leaking where I've circled. Not even too sure what the crimp in the middle of the hose is doing. It's just "there". Not clamped to anything at all.....

That center crimp is a clamp mount holder.

Yeah.... it's not clamped to anything, nor has it ever been since I've owned it.

Which makes me scratch my head even more, because the Motorcraft (see pic) comes with a new clamp for the one end. Why didn't it come with a clamp for the middle if it indeed had one?

It's just "there", lol.

Strangely enough, I was under the hood of my Buddy's Honda Odyssey last night.... same thing. Random crimp in the middle of his PS hose, not attached to anything.

New heads for the f150 arrived! (Other headlight is still in box) apparently these even came free headlights.... going to leave one in and see how it compares to the Napa one. Hopefully tomorrow I get them in. It's just me and the baby tonight (wife working overnight) so no progress will be made today.

I think you'll like them. Seeing yours all new and clean reminds me, though... My turn signal units have developed a "fog" on the inside of the lens. It looks almost like outgassing of some sort caused it. I need to take them off and swish some alcohol around inside to clean them up. And those are the same bulbs that came with mine. I didn't even try them, as I had a set of Phillips Extremes to put in. I should find someone that needs a set and give 'em away.

I've had the Lisle Headlight Adjustment Tool in my Amazon cart for a while now..... just haven't pulled the trigger, lol.

LMR is a good group. If for some reason I ever move to Waco, I'm going to try and get a job over there. I am FB friends with their marketing guy, and also in several of the same FB Groups. They do a lot for the Mustang and Lightning Community.
