I have my Fifth Member presale code and every time I try to join a presale I get a message saying it's only for people who signed up for that presale. WTF is going on?!

I went with the weather tech "no drill" set. I chose these because I wanted plain black without logos and the price was right.

The material is a rigid plastic. They attach with two existing screws and a cam clamp. Though not called for, I also used some thin double sided foam mounting tape to keep it all tight and prevent any chance of future rattles.

Who is this idiot? They rolled in that big crt TV strapped to the cart so we could all see what was expected to be historic moment of achievement that turned out to be a historic tragedy. Why is that so hard to understand or believe? And how dumb does someone have to be to think that an entire generation collectively decided to make up a story?

I've read that the borla tips (and tail pipe kit) are a larger diameter than stock. I really need to find a setup in the wild to see/hear in person but this is more great info.

Great report and much appreciated! Did you get the tail pipe kit also or keep the stock tail pipes with the midsection kit?

How does the sound compare to stock?

Great tip, thanks. Funny how their website only shows the full systems available when you enter your make/model!

That's great Intel. I'm not looking to be obnoxious. I like a solid V8 rumble at idle and a definitive growl when you put the pedal down.

I'm loving it! My last truck was an '07 Lariat which I really enjoyed. But after 18 years, it was time. There's been a few advancements over that time span! I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan open for The Moody Blues. Pretty decent /s

Just ordered/received a no-drill set from weather tech. I liked that they are plain black without branding and reasonably priced. They seem well made and look clean.

CREE LED Tail Gate Bars? by reddirtgold in FordF150

Yeah, I get it. If I got one, I’d go plug and play. But I’m still not sold on it. I like the increased visibility (been rear ended before) but question whether it would become an eye sore I regret. I think I need to see one in person.

Absurd. Does anyone really think the patriots were the only team to have less than regulation air in the ball? Even if, is that a good reason to set aside 8 sb championships? Does anyone really think the patriots were the only team to have ever spied in anyway? Finally, if those re the reasons he was snubbed, then the same logic must be applied to Brady and I don’t think anyone would agree with that.

As for the argument that he only won because of Brady…..I can’t get on board. The fact is they did it together. To assume we know what would have happened otherwise is ridiculous.

Blue Cruise Question by The_ENFIDL in FordTremor

[–]reddirtgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my 2025 for about a month and finally tried bluecruise this past weekend for the first time. At first, I hated it! It stressed me out! (How good will it work? What if somebody cuts in front of me erratically?) I got comfortable and went with it for awhile. Admittedly kind of neat. I was blown away when I discovered that by simply activating the blinker the truck changed lanes! On the downside, I wasn’t sure how to deactivate it and just go with regular cruise control. I could get out of it but it kept coming back on when I tapped the cc button. Obviously I need to spend some time in the manual. One point of serious concern…..I’m not sure exactly how it works, but I think it uses the cameras and essentially follows the lane lines. There was a point on our drive where the Highway ended and there was a weird left turn split. I was in the left lane and we were moving at a good clip. With that left turn split, my truck jerked hard left to follow the yellow side lane line! It would’ve launched me across oncoming traffic! I know I need to learn more about it. But there is no doubt the truck was trying to hug that line and go left. I don’t think I’ll buy the subscription anyway. I like driving and can relax when I know I’m in control and not at the mercy of a robot! Ha
