I was talking to Paraphoe, but nice to know you take that 3rd Gen off the pavement for some fun at times. =) I do some mild off-roading myself.. nothing too much.. light & moderate trails, some climbing.. some mud, big puddles and deep snow... ect ect..

 

[Donner]

ah, my bad...

 

[storlied]

I didn't mean to sound as if I was putting you down.

 

[Donner]

me or paraphoe?

 

[storlied]

-_-'' You.. lol

 

[Donner]

alright, no worries... take care!

 

[Donner]

Hey! What's new? How's the vehicle?

 

[storlied]

Decals!

And a 90 Octane Performance Tune. =D
The shifts are a lot more firm, acceleration is improved. Overall, the truck is much more fun to drive.

 

[WhiteLimited]

Wow not a huge fan of the stickers...
Hell I don't even care for my Ford sticker...

 

[storlied]

I know.. you told me last night..

I like them though.

 

[WhiteLimited]

I know.. you told me last night..

I like them though.

Well if you like them thats all the matters. Do you still have that front window stick you get at Wallmart that says Ford and has flames

 

[Donner]

They're great! Where's the EF logo

What did you say you used to change the color of your antenna?

 

[storlied]

lol, I didn't change the color.. I went and bought a completely different antenna.'

The EF logo? I've been wanting someone to come up with some stickers but no one has them anymore, or wants to make them anymore. I would Gladly purchase one and put it on if someone made some up.

 

[Donner]

I hear ya...

Go done to any vinyl decal shop and have them make you one customized to the size color and design you want.

 

[storlied]

Find me a good design.. where's pictures of all the old EF decals? Not the street style one, or the 4x4 one... but just the site one?.... =\

 

[Donner]

Wasn't Blueka working on an idea?
