Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I wish we could attend but it's a bit too far for such a fast approaching date. Hunting season's around the corner and the family is dragging me (kicking and screaming) to Florida's Tragic Kingdom the following week so I'll need all the energy I can save. :0)
I remember some people said they do not have a speed problem on this board but I always have (200mbps service) and so far the new board zips right through with no lag. I spent the better part of last night talking to myself and it was very nice.

I rinse off my truck every morning but I don't wash it very often. Mostly when we come back...
Now I"m on the hunt for a low profile removable rack to mount a light to. :0) I'm not going to put much up there, this is mostly for the Kayaks and some additional lighting when I'm on the trail.
I imagine I'll have a retractable awning, light bar, my pioneer gear and maybe misc box.
I took Pictures of my F150 "Sport Trac", lol. :jester:
Listing just the things you can visually see in the pictures:
35's General Grabber AT2,
American Racing Wheels 17x8.5 with '0 Offset,

05 Expedition Roof rack...
Just figuring out the length.
Trimming the rails.
I'm using Krylon Semi-gloss black to recondition the black color. I'm not cure if I'll use a UV protectant clear right now. I may disassemble it at a latter date and do it then.
I took off the rear plastic trim piece, then counted 5...
