know what's funny about that? I have done absolutely NOTHING to protect my dash and it is still 100% whole, intact, and uncracked. I've even had the dash out of the truck a couple times replacing the heater core and evap core. still remains uncracked. The most care it gets from me is the rare occasion that I wipe the dust off with windex and a paper towel which doesn't happen very often... maybe once or twice a year

aside from the sun beating on your dashes, I think all those chemicals you guys pour all over them to "protect" them is partially to blame for their demise.

I don't put those stupid carpet covers or mats w/e you wanna call them over the dash either. FUGLY if you ask me... no sun shields in the windshield either.

 

Mine is good, and I think I read once you wipe it with those chemicals you have to keep doing it or it will crack. Might not be a bad idea to drill a hole at the end of it if possible.

 

I replaced this.

With this.


The headlights are next.

I manual locked the front axle, bypassing the CAD. Then I went and washed it off.

Found out that my brake and tranny fluid are low. Both of which I am out of. busted one of the few tabs left on the grill in the process.

I'm happy it moves on it's own now. I've been eyeing that Tuff Country 3" long arm lift. Ummmm long arm suspension.

 

You had a broken mirror, and replaced it with a whole truck? Seems like a bit of overkill, but, if the price was right.......

I want your tires.

 

I liked his rims, I've been craving that stock look. K.

 

Used the Ram to pull some locust today....

 

I pulled out some.... (what is locust?)

 

Poor stuck Ford

Locust tree (firewood), perhaps I should have specified...

 

Me not being into firewood is why I don't know. I would best most everyone here knew.

It is a big F350 crew cab, real nice, just found mud that would not let him go. Only the front diff was grabbed, making rear dead pull with strap pretty simple. The pics is him installing my hook into the receiver. I had to send the pic to my wife to prove I was going to be late meeting her.

 

^ Firewood is a must on this side of the country.

Looks like there's some nice trails over there!
