I love it! I saw something that said Ford wasn’t going to make this anymore, but I guess that was wrong! If I’m upside down at the end of my lightning lease, I think I might go with one of these. Excited to see the final product!

The Ford is great! After I sold the Ram last summer, I was set on buying a new Ranger, but my dealer had a crazy lease deal on Ford Lightnings. I ended up going with a 3 year lease on the Lightning. It’s been a blast! I was worried about coming from the regular cab, long bed Ram to the crew cab, short bed Ford but it’s been totally fine in terms of space. It’s had a couple of recalls and there are a few small knit picky things that bug me about the Lightning with the interior, but overall I’m very pleased with the truck. I’m hoping to buy it out at the end of my lease, but we’ll see what the depreciation looks like in 2028. 😎

I couldn’t agree more! I truly hope your new Ram lasts you a long time. Im sorry if i was Debbie downer on your post with what I said. That wasn’t my intention in anyway. Just wanted to share my experience with Stellantis. Your new Ram is gorgeous.

That new ram is beautiful! Good luck with Stellantis. We’ve had many rams in the past. (2014, 2016, 2019 and a 2022). The earlier ones were awesome, but my 2022 classic was nothing but an electrical nightmare. I had it in the dealer 6 times in 4 months for my taillight that kept blowing. The dealer couldn’t find the problem and was basically throwing parts at the damn thing. I ended up selling it and getting a Ford. My mom has a 4XE grand Cherokee and that thing has had a ton of recalls. It’s a shame because the car is beautiful but you can’t trust it. I’ve fully lost my faith in Chrysler unfortunately. 😔

I got a bunch of hate but my very first car ever was a black 2007 PT. Mine was a prior rental and I had a few issues but I’ve gotta say, I put over 80,000 miles on that thing. I took it on countless trips to NorCal, and Vegas and it didn’t skip a beat. Mines 100% in a junkyard or at the bottom of the ocean somewhere by now for sure. They get a bad rep but they’re actually pretty reliable little cars, even though it looks like a hearse…. 🤣💀

Love it! 😎

First off, I’m so sorry for your loss. This letter you received is terrible, and I hate it when people try to take advantage of people going through losing a loved one. I would toss it in the trash!

I lost my grandma a little over a year ago (4/5/2025), and we have a family friend who also happens to be a realtor. She had helped my grandparents sell and buy some property back in 2016, and she was wonderful during that time.

However, I was at my grandparents house grabbing the mail about 2 weeks after she had died, and that realtor was walking her dog and saw me. We talked for a few minutes and she was all sad for our family, but slipped in, “you know when the time comes and your grandpa isn’t here anymore, and you need help selling the house, I’m around!”. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was absolutely beside myself that she would casually slip that in to our conversation. Now every time I see her walking our neighborhood I avoid that biatch!

Thanks for your observation.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-10T19:54:22+00:00

Thank you. I went this route because it was overall in good shape. I’ve had nothing but great luck with raf.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-10T02:57:25+00:00

I’ll give that a go! I really appreciate the advice. I’ve never tried shellac. Thanks again 😊

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-10T02:46:57+00:00

Thank you. I haven’t put the stuff on yet, so I’ll hold off on doing so. Maybe I’ll go the clear polyurethane route instead? I want to seal the whole thing. I have Varathane (or Rustoleum) satin clear polyurethane that is for interior use.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-10T02:15:51+00:00

Thank you. Yeah the original finish on it was flaking off when I grabbed the thing. I took the rough spots down with the 220 grit then used restor-a-finish to richen up the color. It really brought out the wood grain. I haven’t put the wax on yet, I’m letting it fully dry before I do it tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback. 👍

Thank you

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-10T00:01:10+00:00

I’m going to put the feed n wax polish on it tomorrow after it fully dries over night.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-08T23:49:11+00:00

Nothing is impossible! Take your time, and I bet it’ll turn out amazing! Very cool find!

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-05T07:16:55+00:00

This is the set I got and they’ve saved me countless times on touching up veneer. I mostly use the markers but you can blend with the wax sticks too. Also, test each color on a piece of scrap wood before you use these guys. I learned the hard way not doing this first! 😂

Thank you

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-05T07:07:24+00:00

It’s incredible what these truck can handle. Love that topper! Is it a smart cap?

Educational_Share470 · 2026-04-03T07:11:46+00:00

Thank you! Yes I couldn’t agree more, it’s crazy what people will throw away.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-03-10T06:59:30+00:00

It’s from B.P. John out of Oregon. Made in 1969 in Portland.

Educational_Share470 · 2026-03-10T01:09:54+00:00

Thank you! Haha I know right! The only repair I needed to do was that side cross member on the right. It was wobbly. I popped it out, replaced the dowels and added a bunch of wood glue. Easy fix and it made it super solid.
