errr...umm no. I have specific instructions to keep my hands off

But at least when I sell the JP mobile, I still have a reason to hang around here, until we get some stuff paid down and I can start a new project.

So looks like we're already working on the first MOD

For $70 I can get FRD04-AUX, Which will have RCA inputs (then I can add a3.5" jack) added to the factory Stereo...

or

For $130 get the FRD04-POD, Which will add the the ipod plug in and you will be able to control the ipod through the ford Stereo

hmmmmm..

May have to wait on this for a bit though..

We also found out today, that our Car insurance went down

Ford owes us a 2nd key still, so I'm going to see if I can get them to give me a '07 Fusion style key, as the wife was already complaing that our keys(F150/Ex) look to muck a a like.

already in the shop

started leaking on my garage floor in the last week or so. So I took it back to Ford and said fix it.

I'm now on day 2 driving around a little red focus as they wait for parts. I guess the thermostat housing was cracked, so they are replacing it. Should get the truck back by tomorrow at the latest.

yes, got it back the other day. It has the 4.0 in it, but I wish I would have found a 4.6, as they get the same mpg.

That's sweet. If I had the money and could find a good one that connected to my Zune, I would get one.

Nice! I've decided that's all I'm doing to mine. I might lower it 1.5" if I can.
