FROADER's 2005 F-150 FX4

[FROADER]

I got it back last night, and wow, I guess I had a trans problem since I bought the truck. It drives completely different and after the tune up with the new plugs and now the trans, it feels like a brand new truck.

Congrats. I just put a new tranny in the wifes ride last month and now my explorers is acting up. Sux

Good deal! I'm glad you get to take Rover home.

New accessory installed today.

It's a JVC-KW-ADV794 Arsenal. So far, I'm liking it.

Looks like a nice unit, i'd like to get something like that for my GMC sometime. I gotta drop some coin on wheels and tires first, I'm at 31k and these tires are shot already

$379 shipped to my door with the wiring harness and mounting brackets from Crutchfield.

You going to go a little bigger with the tires since there is room for 40s on that thing stock?

you'll love the Bluetooth

So much easier to receive calls in the car and you can stream Pandora

That doesn't sound bad at all, i'll have to keep that in mind.

Yeah no kidding, there's a lot of real estate between the fenders and wheels.

The plan is to get some stock GM 17" aluminum wheels on Toyo A/T's. I'm gonna stick with 245's since the Toyo's specs say they measure out at 31" which is where I want to be. The 245's I have on there now only measure out at 29" or so. Seems like mfg's measurements are all over the place

Not a problem.

I watched Spaceballs while picking up my new dining room last night.

Mission Style...nice, if that's the same one i'm thinking of it's really nice. I helped a buddy pick one up a couple years ago from the same place. And yes, there is an asston of packaging, hope you have room:

Are you going to install a camera in that thing? It is a very cool feature. Especially when parallel parking. I can put my ball (tow ) within an inch of the parked car behind me. Just make sure you get one that works well at night. My Audiovox $70 dude doesn't.

We got as smokin' deal. All of their furniture is up to 50% off plus we had a 10% coupon. All of that for $800...

Also we'll have room because we are moving things around. Here is the new layout as soon as I get help moving the pool table. The colors aren't set yet, this was before we bought shiz.

I plan to, but haven't researched any yet. ball....

Looks like a good set-up, can't wait to play a game of pool even though I suck.
