Decided to just get some new 3M mounting tape. I did however buy some yellow fog light bulbs

[ChargerX3]

So as not to attract flys?

[Chris GTO TT]

Mostly because I like the way hids look when paired with yellow fog lights.

Might have to pick up a battery for it

Well ford has some good deals and financing going on :d err:

In more serious news I threw the charger on it and it came up from 65% to 100% fairly quickly. I'll have to keep an eye on it since it only gets driven once a week at best now.

Run a parasitic draw test and/or put a maintainer on it.

You wanted an explorer.

Damn that's rustier than mine and mine spent the first 9 months of it's life in Massachusetts as a dealer demo


Bet it would be a good run for my beater. Rare for sure.

I had never heard of one before, I do wonder what all they did to it to handle the extra power or if they just added a couple coolers and called it a day.

They really didn't add that much power. Roughly 60hp additional if they rated it at the crank.

It's basically a supercharged v8 explorer with an exhaust, some suspension work, and a body kit.

Installed the yellow fog light bulbs today and fixed the passenger side fender logo. Cleaning off all the old mounting tape and trimming the new mounting tap to fit was really annoying. Now it's firmly attached though.


All the dirt and grime stuck to the back of the logo.


Peeling the mounting tape off the back of the logo.


Fender mount all cleaned up and wiped down with rubbing alcohol.


Back of the logo cleaned up.


New mounting tape applied... I forgot to cut out the tape from the middle of 0 :d oh:


And done.

Oh I hate forgetting to check stuff like that. Tell me it wasn’t on the truck when you found out.

Truck now has 3 different forward facing lights. can’t miss it!

[Chris GTO TT]

It was on the truck when I found out I had forgotten about the 0. I took my razor blade and carefully cut it out.

And it had 3 different forward facing lights before. The headlights are the factory HID, and the fogs are just halogen.

[Chris GTO TT]

Just put gas in it for the first time in over a month... Took 22 gallons at 2.299 @ gallon after my $.0.50 a gallon coupon. Got a bit over 15.3 mpg for the tank. I'm still getting used to the 36 gallon tank. It's crazy to think I still had over 10 gallons before I needed to worry.

Love me some big tanks. What does you DTE say? 580 miles?

Yeah I know, so was I. Halogen bulbs are more yellow than hid bulbs. Now the fogs are really yellow as opposed to the yellowish white of a standard halogen bulb.

[quote=""ChargerX3""]Love me some big tanks. What does you DTE say? 580 miles?[/quote]

DTE said 615 right after I filled it up.

[ChargerX3]

I almost forgot how big those tanks are. Ram has its largest at 32 Gal, but 36 would be even better.
