I had to go test the new tires.
I don't get too aggressive when I'm by myself so I just gave it one shot.





This one gets pretty steep and rocky and that's where my camera tipped over.

So far I am really liking the new tires.
Thumbs up for Ironman All Country M/T tires.

I bought some new mufflers and had them installed yesterday.
The first set I had were too loud for me.
When you got on it they sounded like straight pipes.





These were the first ones and as you can see they are pretty much a straight pipe.
Flowmaster FlowFX.

photo hosting software

These Dynomax Super Turbos are also free-flowing but they have baffles to significantly reduce the noise. Much better.




I also bought and installed an intermittent wiper switch and module.


Its the little things in life that make it soo much better.

I've been having rear main seal issues.
I've replaced it twice and parts are on the way for the third time.
I am getting an education.
I hope "third times the charm".




I recently bought a new fan shroud because the truck didn't have one when I bought it.
Yesterday I received my new factory correct "caution-fan" sticker.



And my new cigarette lighter.
The truck never had one.
I'm surprised that it was an option clear back in 1976.

I bought the old Ford two years ago on Nov 1st 2021.
Here's a few now and then pictures.





A whopping 9010 miles in two years.





I have new carpet, kick panel and lower door panel carpet.
I hope to get it installed pretty soon.





The 410 is running extremely well and I'm quite pleased with it.

I've done tons to it and it still needs tons more. $$$$ LOL




Ford "enthusiasts" give me a bad time about the Dodge wheels.
But I like them so they stay.

The new Ironman All Country M/T mud terrain tires awesome.
