Been slacking a bit on updates with the holidays. Been traveling to see family etc so not much has been done.

good news is Santa was somewhat kind. With a code reader, extension cable, a universal winch mount, a brand new set of headlights along with the markers.


This apparently speaks ancient dead languages and can communicate with the old ford computers. It is high tech it has a display instead of counting flashing lights.

lol my dad remembered that deal and decided to splurge I guess for my present. I remember doing the light count on his old Taurus SHO. I also just broke down and ordered a pair of Flo-tech Long Tube headers.

Finally got a little time to play with the F150, the 07 LR3 has been getting all my attention as of late.

So it was a very short amount of time, but I couldn't be happier with the results. Maybe tomorrow I can get the drivers side done.

Me to. When I was 16 I worked at the local ford dealership in the clean up dept. I remember detailing new 1991/1992's for delivery. Always wanted one.

So I was lucky and got the drivers side done couldn't be more happy with the results of how much the new lights improve the look of the truck. All new front and rear now.

Nothing like a new set of headlights to spruce up a vehicle. There was a guy on facebook that just changed out his 04 Dll lights, and like yours, looked brand new afterwards.

On a separate note...l'd really like to see less stuff stacked on my future 110. Plus, a good coat of wax wouldn't hurt either...lol.

How much can the truck tow? Could it pull the LR3?

You'll be happy to know that only the half rack on the back has anything sitting on it. That's after a good coat of wax

It should be able to. It would probably be slow as all get out though.

I actually was working on it. I have the carb off so I can screw up rebuilding it again. I really shouldn't be allowed to work on carbs. Might just get the summit fuel injection kit
