  1. If I see you as a millennial then that would be your problem. Not mine.
  2. My comment was towards geeto. EDIT - but the fact that you thought it was directed at you has me wondering if you have a lot of bottled up anger? You could use that energy to scrub my truck. Wanna make a few bucks:)?
  3. lol, average "young millennial expert"...
  4. Read the first post.... Gonna open up a tire rent-to-own company....
  5. Other update - as with any private sale I knew I'd have to throw a few bucks in it to get it zipped up. Needed a new 4x4 actuator, front rotors, and a RF caliper. But, after those parts she seems to be tip top. The only thing I am contemplating is the cam-phaser thing and replacing the plugs (heard about these potential horror story) sooner than later.
  6. Well, after 1 50-minute ozone treatment it has rid the truck of all smells (and killed a huge wasp that was living under the rear seat) and left it with a smell of a cheap motel. Then, I proceeded to bake the truck in the hot sun all day at the gun range and no smells returned. Then, I christened the truck with its new and improved cigar-only smell and I seem to have it right where I want it now in terms of smell.
  7. So I was researching the cam phaser delete thingamajig. Is it just to get rid of the noise or is there some other detriment?
  8. Did a 50 minute ozone treatment and it smells like a cheap hotel in there... but not smokey. True test will be when the truck bakes in the sun at the range tomorrow.
  9. I hate wheels that look like they have fake beadlocks... but it seems as if anything with a cool center has beadlocks on the outside. ugh...
  10. Yeah, for me... I like to be able to prep for whichever range I'm gonna BG to and then just always have it all in the truck.
  11. Not denying it. But still okay with it.
  12. Which one is the best? We want to do a teambuilding event for a group within our company. Thoughts?
  13. Thanks! I guess there is a fix involved there!
  14. Should I get these wheels? http://www.procompusa.com/ImageLibrary/Products/PXA/40%20Series%20Dark%20Grey%20with%20Black%20Lip.jpg OR THESE http://images.4wheelparts.com/aux_incl/images.ashx?i=PXA2644_Syndrome_MatteGraphite_6lug_3q.jpg&partNo=PXA&w=330&h=330
  15. Well, truth be told.... I plan to smoke cigars in it.. which leaves a different smell. Should I just use the power of my cigars to out-do the previous owners smell of "domestic violence"?
  16. Have what deleted? Who is Brian?
  17. Picked up a 2010 Ford F150 Supercab the other day to use as a go-to for the gun range (replacing my 2007 Tahoe). I bought a truck because I wanted to be able to throw dirty shot-up target stands in the bed without dirtying and scraping the interior panels (like what happened to the Tahoe). It drove me nuts. I also specifically wanted an extended cab so that I could store stuff in there and lock the truck... CURRENT INTERIOR: Interior is/was dirty and has a terrible cigarette smell odor. I did a once-over (will need a second run) on cleaning the interior and windows. I have it to an "Acceptable" point right now but want to go over everything again. I'm currently using a mixture of Ozium and a bucket of coffee grinds to try and fight the smell. INTERIOR PLANS: Got some charcoal colored Katzkin seat covers that are set to be installed on Friday. Also want to look into getting a new steering wheel because the one in it is just now starting to deteriorate. Also, I bought an Ozone Generator (just to have). So, if anyone wants to borrow it just let me know. Also, I just bought husky floormats (the form fitted ones). CURRENT EXTERIOR: Body is in decent shape. Couple small Dings. One dent in the bed which I pushed out pretty well. EXTERIOR PLANS: Going to add a 2 inch leveling kit to the front. I also just snagged an ARE fiberglass tonneau cover for 80 bucks on craigslist (a steal) that I need to install and paint. But, it came with keys and everything so that will make for a great place to leave my guns if we go into a store/food place, etc. I do plan to add some 20x9 wheels and 33 inch tires in the next month to gain a bit of ground clearance. DRIVETRAIN: 5.4L V8, don't plan to modify it. The 4WD does have a little shimmy to it and you have to reverse a few feet to disengage 4wd (common?) but it drives straight otherwise. Having the 4wd checked out tomorrow. PICS of it:
  18. Auto options is who I went with. 1170.00 OTD Would have been 1020.00 but I went with a premium color and overnight shipping.
  19. What price are you seeing? I'm seeing 1000-1700 for a truck with extended cab seats
