What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's amazing how you can have a hollow feeling inside over the passing of someone you have never met. It saddened me when I read the post last night of the passing of @Tullie D. (I know, I'm about 40 pages behind and trying to catch up). I always remember him having kind things to say and having a sense of humor. I'm sure many are with me here in saying that he will be greatly missed. RIP @Tullie D

 

John and I exchanged PMs regularly too. Mostly about LSU vs Notre Dame, hunting, trucks and how his misses was doing after her eye surgery. Feb 11th was probably when I asked. I'm getting more worried about him now.

 

Death sucks. I'm nursing an old sick dog and I fear the end is near. I can sense a broken heart approaching.

 

Installed some theft deterrent measures.

 

Sounds good but what about the rest of the guys with older or different configurations? I wish they had something out there that didn't require a CMC and still run 285's.

 

Look at your gas pedal, then to the right of it. You will see a carpet flap covering a black box (hvac box). Pull that flap down a bit and you will see you can actually slide the radio right into that space and its hidden.

 

Finally got some steps on so the kids will no longer need assistance getting in... lol

 

Been there done that. It isn't easy putting down a pet. Hang in there Bud.

 

I had a '13 focus before my taco. It was the first year with this transmission, and I would occasionally lose all power trying to start out after a stop sign. I would have to put it in park and turn the car off before it would engage again. The rest of the time i would get the shuddering you're describing and have no get up and go to merge into traffic.
There was also an issue with a valve getting stuck close or open (can't remember which) that would cause suction and collapse the shitty plastic fuel tank they use. Luckily didn't have to pay to replace the tank on mine, and the mechanic was able to pull it back out with a dent-popper, but I always had to be careful when fuel got to the 1/4 tank mark, because the gauge was never correct after that
Fuck Ford

 

Hope everyone and their families are staying safe.
While you all are battling Mother Nature, here in mild Arizona, I got new wheels and tires.
method MR316 18x8.5 0 offset 4.75 BS
Kenda RT 33/10.5/17
It’s on the Ironman nitro gas suspension and JBA UCA’s. No rub with plenty of clearance all around.

 

Looks good! I really like the clean aluminum look! Reminds me of the old Pro Comp skid for the original Toyota truck.

 

Sorry if I missed it, but are you running a tune? Sounds good!

 

Sold! They come in a axle chopped crawler style?!

 

Installed some tweeters... and. Sprayed various connections with ncp2 https://no.co/a202. I think the brush versions are better but had the spray so that’s what I used... pic in a sec...

 

how do the Kenda’s ride? Did you happen to weigh them?

 

Washed truck yesterday in between rainy days. Installed rek gen's today. Maybe something I run just during the winter, idk. Never been much of a flapper...

Also got the new OTR antenna with extensions in so I can get the beer can above the cab although too wet outside for anymore work.

 

Nice looking wheels.

 

Thank you Sir!

 

He actually lives in MA
