Took the camper to Grand Isle State Park to meet up with a few old friends. I used son in laws F-250 to haul the 5th wheel.




Son in law used my little Ecoboost to haul his 9K pound boat.




Me and the 8 yr old grandson heading back in from the offshore platforms. Limited out on red snapper.

Didn't your fridge go out last time we were planning on nodding your truck? Seems like the EcoGods are mad at you. Should have bought the 5.0 instead

Speaking of 5.0. I was beside a 5.0 f150 today with dual exhaust. It had a carven exhaust sticker on it and it sounded fabulous! Low and high rpm was perfect sound.

AC is fine now, breaker blew outside. The mods can continue

Dodged a bullet.....

I'm hoping to squeeze one more summer out of mine and already have it next year's preliminary budget to replace it -- I'd much rather spend the money on cars.....

I've decided that this is the weekend I'm going to attempt to Hydro dip some interior parts on the truck. Not gonna lie, pretty nervous about it. I don't want it to look gawdy or ricer.

I'll post a thread about the process. Feel free to make fun if you don't like the look. I just wanted to try something different than painting bits solid colors.

Cool, if you need some stick on "alloy friendly" weights, NAPA is one of the best sources.

I have never had luck with stick on wieghts. I stick strictly with hammer ones
