I've seen a roof rack on a F-250 that had a bicycle surf board holder like this welded onto the side of the roof rack. I'm sure you could be able to do something similar with a wakeboard/snowboard holder.

Default Back Road to Crown King AZ

On Friday I installed shorter shock Towers along with 2 inch spacers to make up the difference that my front end sagged after installing the Very heavy Tactical Rovers Front bumper.

Yesterday 5 of us 3 Disco 2s, i p38 and a Jeep ran the Back Road to Crown King. Had a great day. Used my Winch for the first time. One of the Discos took a bad line and needed to get strapped to avoid going over, so we strapped on and pulled him up. Over all a good time

Cleaned spark plug on #5 to fix a Service Engine Soon light and code P0305.

Nearly **** myself when the light came on and the engine started running rough all of a sudden!

Drove through a foot and a half of snow with ease with the CDL locked!

I'll be doing the same for plug number six when I get a chance. I just changed my plugs and wires due to a P0304, and that went away for a solid 3 weeks, then a P1174 popped up, got that fixed up (the air filter box was cracked) and then about 3 days later (yesterday) my engine started idling VERY rough and the SES starting blinking. I haven't driven since other to move it from my driveway to the street and back into the garage so the other car isnt stuck.

I changed the oil today, at about 2975 since I last did it, and put drained the transmission fluid a few days before that. What was odd is that I drained the transmission fluid and about 4.5 quarts and I only put in about 3.5 quarts before it started having a solid stream coming from the filler plug. I will put it on a steeper incline and put more in when I get a chance tomorrow after I do the plug.

Addition: after rereading Spikes instructions I now know why I didnt get ad much transmission fluid in as I got out. I had it parked on an incline but when I checked to fill it again I didnt have the engine running. Ill fix that first thing tomorrow morning.

Not just that, turn on the engine, then shift through all the gears ( Park > R > N ... > 1 > 2 > ... > P ) one by one and let it stay in each gear for a couple seconds. Then (for the fun part!) with the engine still running get under and fill it up.
