    Same color, without the painting on the door, and mine was rustier. Flathead 8, 3 on the tree! This one's missing the F100 badge off the side of the hood.

    When we get older you'll be able to stream music directly into your brain.

    We'll be having the same conversation 30 years from now, laughing.

    Oooh. My RCI bumper reinforcements were delivered. Don't worry, I'll post pics later. lol
    The bumper actually made my truck ride smoother. Extra weight maybe but I know some small vibrations are now being absorbed elsewhere.

    Saturday I actually thought to myself, this thing rides really nice.

    Now I just need to bend the cat skid and t.c. skid so the exhaust isn't vibrating on that. Thanks Tigerton.

    Over the weekend I got the tires rotated on the truck and took a look at the bent skids from Tigerton. Yeah, previously I would have been very anxious about post-Tigerton noises. Now I know it's just the skid plate rattling on the damn exhaust crossover. Need to get that rerouted. It'll wait until the new bumper is ordered someday along with new skids.

    Also rotated the tires and changed the oil and filter on the Tiguan in preparation for the 2500-3000 mile road trip east that begins Saturday.

    Oh, picked up a new gadget too.

    I know some of you guys have these. I have the Noco Genius2 2A charger as well. The BoostX was on sale yesterday for $100 with same day delivery. Their products just ooze quality. Good stuff.
