No kids here to drive me nuts. Only got one present for a kid this year. My friend's daughter. I'm sure she's gonna be one spoiled girl this year. She's probably driving them nuts. LOL. Hard to say, she's a good kid. I remember when I was young I'd always wait up to catch Santa. He was one stealthy SOB, let me tell you.

Now I just need to 1) figure out how the heck to rap a 27" TV 2) get it inside without making a lot of noise. One idea is to not even wrap it. Just stick it in the entertainment center tonight.

Merry Christmas everyone. And thanks for that link skinner, although nobody there has replied to my question yet....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

my 11 y/o made a list of stuff he wanted this year. it had about 4-5 things on it, including an FMF pipe, jet kit, etc.. My wife and I kept talking about our dire $$ situation (not specifically to the kids). I was quite impressed when he took this to heart and scratched out everything on his list and just left one item; the Bearclaw tires! so he got a set of bearclaws for the rear, and a rear rack for the Honda 250EX. I know a sport quad is goofy with a rack, but he does tons of work around the acreage/farm.

I have a 2001 SD 7.3 Ext. Cab W/Leveling Kit and 35 in. Cooper STT Mud terrains. don't even notice your pulling something with it. Love the truck would not trade it for any of the others even a new Ford w/ the new motor. 7.3 has proven itself for many years .

Hope everyone also had a Merry Christmas[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Like Confused, our kids went easy on us this year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We did buy some atv gear, new boots and chest protector for the wife and the middle daughter[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Myself, I got some new tools[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And nice leather work gloves to keep inside the PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Confused, I have racks for the front and back of the mojave[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It's not that unheard of to put racks on sport quads[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Rocky Mountain has all kinds of them. Heck I even know someone that put a winch on a sport quad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

okay, enuf abuse. I'm gonna try to throw the reigns on this thread and corral it back to PSD stuff!! I have a 1T crewcab with Captains chairs and center console. those morons at Ford... what were they thinking (the 40/20/40 split has an extra seat, plus all the console room you need when you put the seat down)!!anyways, I wanna put a center jump seat in. I've found a couple of places that sell them for around $400-500 (US). YIKES! Anyone know of where the best prices are for this kind of Ford stuff, or a good PSD chatroom to find out?
I agree with Skinner on the ford chat room. I have in the past found a couple benches your talking about on ebay, might try there and look around. If you don't find one, then maybe try contacting a couple of the yards that sell items off of junked vehicles, they might be able to help you.

You guys should welcome missfire to the forum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] After all, his first reply was in our very own PSD thread[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

LOL!

The buckets in the 450 came from a junkyard I believe. But via a $tealer. Boss isn't happy with the current service writer. Feels we are getting shafted. Had to have a new rear-end put into a 150, pick it up and it's still howling. They replaced about the only part in the rear end that they didn't replace. Figure maybe someone would have test drove it... Yeah, the ladder racks make noise, but not at 15 miles an hour.
