She's a beauty.... not sure if you have done this (did it to my 2014) but replaced all interior, back up, license plate and third brake lights with LED.... cheap and makes a big difference..;)

My wife bought me the LED kit about 2 years ago. It made a HUGE difference!! I highly recommend it. Gives your truck a very clean look.

It's a day shot but here's a pic of my baby. (Finally got a bath after hunting season)

Well I did it. I ended up buying 17 F150 with Gen 2 Ecoboost, 10 speed trans, 3.55 rear end. I will post some pictures later today before the snow on Monday. I normally would not complain so much about the snow, but this winter has been a joke. I've been on the sleds once and put like 40 miles on! Now I need a bigger boat, lol... I looked at the Explorers and Expeditions but was just not happy with them. My wife even said the Explorer is like a minivan but with less room and will tow our current boat. However if we upgrade to a 21 we would be to close or over the max limits of the Explorer. I looked at the Expeditions however I couldn't handle buying a model that has not had a full update in years. I must say I love the 2018 Expeditions however I couldn't wait that long.

I have a 2014 Tundra as well and was wondering where you found the parts for the LED switch?

I just got rid of my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT and went with the new Ram Rebel 1500. Im a die hard GM uy, but the Rebel puts the GM to shame. 5.7L Hemi with 8 speed transmission and AirRide suspension. My work truck is a 2015 GMC 2500 with the 6.2L and 4:10 gears. The Ram even Smokes that in towing the boat.

IMG_0451.JPG When my daughter was born I sold my 2001 Ford F-350 7.3l diesel and purchased a 2013 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3l. I have been really happy with the Tahoe after installing bags and a brake controller and a great everyday driver and very comfortable for long trips but god I miss the power of a diesel motor.

Nice Cobalt..
That would be my dads that he lets me use from time to time. He's retired and keeps it and his trailer over at Lake Billy Chinook for the summer. Ever since I was in diapers we have spent our summers on the boat.

Dicks has had a solid boat selling start! It is where we bought ours in early March.
Yea I think the boat show really helped them out! We got ours end of February. What did you buy from them?

Bought an AR190. First boat and just 2 of us so it is right sized. Spent 4 hours on Ten Killer yesterday and it was perfect. Made some rookie mistakes at the ramp but a great day will
around
