Love the OBS. Hurry up and do the 05 axel swap. I want to see if it's worth doing to my 06. Would like a better Ride and tighter turning radius

Morning folks, happy Monday if there is such a thing lol.

Jim - might be a while til I get there, just because of free time I have right now. I do plan on getting it done this year though. I've ridden in a couple of swapped trucks and I do believe it's worth the effort, which is why I'm working on the project.

Morning Ken. Yeah, damp here too, but I blame myself for washing the truck. Always a bad idea.

Pat - I've got a few things to wrap up before Ford Nationals in about 12 days, so I'll get that over the next week roughly.

Rain presents an opportunity Bill. I park my car in the driveway...bingo...it gets washed.

Black will be getting her first bath in 3-4 weeks, because of all the rain we've had!

I hadn't put any sort of sealant or treatment on the paint on the OBS in almost a year, so I had to find time to get it. Was shocked at all the crap that came off with the clay bar - and of all things it was blue looking, at least on the front clip. Not something I've seen before. Must be from here at work or something.
