Tomorrow we are going to Northern Showdown in Milton. It is a fun custom show with lot's going on and a limbo contest that I will be the first looser again this year lol. It is a charity event for "Make a wish", which makes it even better.

We drove all over southern Ontario this weekend,truck ran great. 280mi and got 21mpg:metal:
Saturdays show was great, met up with a bunch of people and cruised to the show with them. I was the first looser in the limbo again, but it's fun. Took home a top 75 plaque and a bucket of Armor-all products.

So last Sunday we met up with the guys from Ontario Rat Rods (Facebook page) for there first Rat rod tour. We met up at a pub (about an hour drive from my home) for meet and greet, then went on a 20mi cruise. It was really fun. They parked me on the front lawn of the pub during lunch. Great bunch of people.

NP Jim. It was way more fun than a car show, I have always loved seeing old stuff drive down the road. We are talking about doing it once or twice a year.

So with how much I have been driving the truck this year. My music situation was getting annoying (plug headphone jack into phone, turn on amp, select music and adjust). So I went out and got a sweet deck, no CD. It is half the depth of a regular deck. The amp now powers a 10" sub behind the seat and I mounted the deck in the back of the glove box. Works and sounds great. :metal:

Today I finally got to installing the door to floor wind lance. That will stop the one draft I have in the truck. I had them for about a year but I misplaced the steel keepers.

I've been debating on a stereo setup. Looks like a decent solution.
