    Hey y'all,
    Thought i would do a small update on some of the stuff i've done to my truck in last couple of weeks (all pics taken w/ my iphone 4s)

    First of all, i got myself a (slightly) used Cobra 25LTD Nightwatch CB radio for 80 bucks (its about 140 new). It even came with an aftermarket noise-cancelling microphone. Great reception and clarity btw

    Then i finally got me a new ford emblem (40 bucks) for the grille to replace the old faded one. Makes a big difference IMO :waytogo:

    Then i also replaced the missing valence on my front bumper (about 40 bucks). Ford wanted 5 dollars per plastic screw to hold the valence in place but we found a better solution...was a pain to install but worth it

    Will try to upload a video of my exhaust tomorrow (nothing new just to show y'all how it sounds and for yz85rider2002)

    yea i kinda wish i had one to help truck drivers though. i think people are idiots in their cars when trucks are trying to get over and car after car after car passes them when theyve had their blinker on for a mile. i always try to help them guys out, im sure it aint easy driving them big things.
