    Had an appointment at the stealership this evening to get my entune firmware updated. Turns out the night shift techs only know how to do oil changes and couldn't figure out how to download the update on a thumb drive :facepalm:

    Used mine as a rest to grab some pictures of the Falcon Heavy launch this afternoon. Not too shabby for a cheap 30-700 lens considering the launch pad is 18 miles from my house.

    Looks like you have enough space to grow your own
    First off... there goes your "Deadpool" theme... Change your sig! (Updated file attached) I think the black outline on the fenders with orange fenders would look better than black fenders.. Specially if you had black rivets for the fenders (Credentials: I'm an advertising designer 10yrs). As far as a second "Top wrap for this I would stick with either matte black or gloss black. Gloss black would look pretty nifty if your orange is matte, and matte black looks good with just about anything. My 2¢ is that the black fenders make your truck look like it has huge fender wells and should have mini monster truck tires on them.

    That being said... here's a mock up of what I think would look pretty cool on your truck. Black roof with your favorite number on top and maybe a black hood with some stripes or something

    hehe, 'happiness'


    Lined the back of rear seats with some floor mat to keep gear and dogs in one place.. Usually just throw a blanket down, but its a pain in the ass, especially when I have human passengers and have to flip the seats up. This is just a better solution, and maybe $10.. Cut to fit, scrubbed down the seat-backs, put down the adhesive and pressed them on, left weight on it overnight in a warmish garage.. IMG_20180204_135532.jpg IMG_20180204_150420.jpgFlipping the mats upside down was a last minute decision, figured it would collect less hair and probably provide better traction, fer da dogs.

    And just in case someone was under a rock today, what my post was alluding to:


    It was freaking epic!!
    My grandfather worked on the Saturn rockets used for the Apollo missions, and I've watched countless space vehicles launch across a span of 44 years of living in the Daytona area and now along the space coast. This was one of the most spectacular and significant in recent memory.

    My mom, uncle & sister all work for NASA... I had a job lined up and interview with them right out of college but the Government furlough happened and they were on a hiring freeze unfortunately. I also have a NASA sticker on my back window. So cool that you're able to see it from your house. How loud was it from 18mi out?

    None....yet.
    I purchased a 2:1 spacer/block lift kit the other day. I have a guy telling me it might not work out because of the studs that come up from the spacers. Anyone have any input on that?

    I don’t offroad so be easy on the “you should have got coil overs” comments. Lol
