Gave my truck a pass on its daily driver duties. I got my parents old Camry to drive around town. I drive a lot and putting 3-4K miles a month in a dually is not as comfortable or easy to do as it would be in a sedan.

Installed a set of SUPER bright back-up lights. Amazing, how much you can see at night while backing up now. The F150's back up lights are about as bright as a match.

Over the last few weeks since I traded I have added:
6 inch pro z oval running boards
In channel Ventvisors on all 4 windows
Weathertech no drill mud flaps all 4 wheels
ARE Z cap with back window that unlocks with my truck key fob
Full bed rug
and I added a garage door opener to my shop where I park my truck so I won't have to get out and unlock the door when I get home.

I received a couple requests for more information regarding the adding backup lights to my F150. The project took about a half an hour to install, as Ford was nice enough to have 2 pre-drilled in the hitch assembly and in the right locations. So, no drilling is necessary. I used one of the electrical splice-lock-clamps (see below) where you do not have to cut the main wire in the trailer receptacle. Ford uses the center contact in the 7 pin TT connector as a back-up light connection, not sure about GM or Dodge or... I did have to open the protective sleeve that is around the wires at the receptacle attach the splice-lock-clamp and then taped the protective sleeve closed again. Test the lights out before you re-tape it. You may want to fine tune the lights angle at night, did mine on the garage door.
Ok, here are the parts used:
- Harbor Freight - Halogen lights (2 in package) $13.99 USD
- 1 Splice-Lock-Clamp (automotive store)

Put it in 4WD to deal with our 30-minute mini blizzard. First time I've ever used 4WD. It was also the first snowfall of any kind this winter, even though it only amounted to about a quarter of an inch.

Drove it to work. DW and I work in the same office, so we switch off every other day; today was my day. It's SO dirty! I keep telling myself I'm going to wait until the construction around me eases up, or the rain quits before I wash it, but it's getting bad enough that I'm just going to have to do it anyway. I hate having a dirty truck, it looks SO much better clean!

I installed new front brakes last night. It was 4 degrees outside when I started, turned the heat up in the garage and it was up to 50 by the time I was done.

Installed new Bilstein front shocks to replace originals with 116K on them. It took me a little longer than I thought it would, but overall it went smoothly. The only specialty tool needed was a spring compressor to get the old shock out, and my local auto parts store lent me a set for free. The front is a little more stiff now, but the biggest difference I have noticed is my stopping distance. Replacing the front shocks has made a significant improvement in my breaking. Total project cost was $185 and it took about 4 hrs in my driveway.
After seeing the difference changing the front shocks has made, I've decided to do the rears also before camping season starts.

Made an easy 230 mi furniture run on a beautiful Sunday: Drove to Ikea, loaded a bed & frame into the bed, a chair and footstool into the TV backseat, and drove home. Dropped off the bed & stuff at our son's house. The chair & footstool will go into our TT to replace the factory swivel rockers.
