Can't say I have ever seen a tow hitch rusted all the way through! There is only the expected amount of rust on the truck (for one that has lived in the south and rarely seen salted roads), so this is really surprising.

Noticed a couple of drops of water on the rear bench, confirmed it was the rear window seal, so I replaced that yesterday.



Then I picked this up off of CraigsList for $45.

Put my bull bar on. It came off of an 11th gen, but the brackets bolted right up. I also took off and left off the lower valance. We'll see how much it impacts fuel economy, but it was cracked and I think it looks better without it (with the bull bar installed).

Where is the impact sensor on these trucks? If I hit something straight on with the bull bar, will the airbags still deploy?

Got a new windshield after a rock cracked the old one. $0 out of my pocket, I'm pleased.

That's a seriously clean looking truck, and some sweet Volvos!

Haha, it's nice to see I'm not the only C30 and F150 owner.

Got a nice new trailer hitch to replace the old rusted through hitch I removed a few weeks ago. Time to tow stuff!
