New England B.S. Thread

Just noticed that I hit 1000 posts today! Woo! Also I have more likes than posts.

My KDA is over 1!

 

Anytime. I wasn't about to let a little shame keep me from sharing! I just hope people go out and get fire extinguishers for their vehicles.

 

Lol 1000 posts.... girlfriend jealous yet lol

 

Nah, but she's a little more worried now!

 

@BigMacMcCoy, good to hear the Taco was only lightly Cajun'd. Looks like we need a group buy on extinguishers!

Happy 2nd Monday everyone. BLAH.

 

Morning... Keep dry today.

With the pending rain, the fire danger should drop...

 

Free car wash

 

Ford guys!!! Pro tip open good spray light duty degreaser and let the rain do the work also put your air filter in the rain it’s a free wash for that don’t worry if it’s wet on the way home... I’m not responsible for all the increases in horsepower.

 

I call it the eco tune

 

Tell me about it!

Toyotas are simple. There's the SR5, one possible upgrade package on it.. Or you step up to a limited and get all the SR5 stuff plus the upgrade package plus some additional limited things. And you can get the TRD Off Road on top of either one.

The Ford configurator has way too many options. I bet there are a thousand different combinations of F-150s available.

I want heated seats. I added them to my Tacoma. So, the 302A would give me that. Max Tow gives me the locking rear end, so at that point I don't think I'd care about FX4. The more I look at it, the more it looks like I could maybe be in the mid-high 30 range for a really nicely equipped XLT. A Tundra limited TRD Off Road would have probably been 40-41. 37-38 if I settled for an SR5 Off Road with the upgrade package.

 

Don't be jelly

 

Yeah I think my build thread title will be something like "BigMacMcCoys Cajun Blackened Taco"!

Brutal traffic this am

 

Morning all! Yesterday was such a long frigging day that I woke up this morning convinced that it was Wednesday.

Nice to be able to order your truck with what you do and don't want, though.
I have considered upgrading to heated seats (all of the factory components are available online for me to install), but they're honestly not worth the money for me. The GF has them in her Mustang (they're air conditioned too) and I never use either function when I drive her car.
Every time she rides in my vehicle during the winter though she bitches about not having heated seats, so maybe it'll be worth the $$ in a year or two when the parts are cheaper

As for the FX4 package, it does stiffen up the ride some with the different shocks.

Honestly the feature that I probably like the most about the truck is the amount of exterior lighting that it has. Between the bed lights, headlights, puddle lights, and side spotlights on the mirrors I can light up 360 degrees around the truck, which has turned out to be really convenient for me, since during the winter it's dark when I leave the house and dark when I get back, but I have animal-related chores that need doing both in the morning before I leave and in the evening when I get home.
