A little off-shoot from the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" mega thread.
Very simple idea here, show what you bought for your 6.0 today.

Today was an expensive one for me:
-Upper and lower balljoints, both sides
-Center links
-NUC Oil by-pass filter kit
-Couple bottles of Archoil

Looking forward to posting install photos in the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" thread.

Finally purchased a bunch of 6.0 specific tool to keep in the truck in a tool bag behind the rear seat so that when i am traveling I don't have to pull everything out of the tool box in the garage when I'm getting ready to head out on a road trip. It's something that I have been wanting to do for a while now. I have a custom Harley tool kit that i keep on my bike that i pulled together years ago that has saved my butt more than once, i'm pretty confident that this kit will do the same and pay for itself one day down the road.

I can't seem to remember for sure, but I think someone started a post once time about good stuff to carry in the 6.0. Does anyone else remember that.

Yup. Hope to feel the hustle tomorrow. Have Other things to be done on this heap as well hopefully.
Just got done pressure washing all under there. So much nicer to work on things when they're not caked in mud, oil and whatnot

Just order a set of 2014 f150 door strikers for both of my 05, 250's and some archoil snake oil while I was hitting the buy button.

I've got a box full of fender flares sitting in the shop waiting for a mythical time when I actually have a few hours to do what I want.

LOL I ripped my fender trim off as soon as I got the truck home. I am a sheet metal guy I suppose. I also pulled off the rubber door bumpers that are on all the doors. Again just sheet metal, really cleans things up.

But that's me and I'm not normal

You don't mind how the fenders are rolled in on the newer trucks?

I think the new trucks look like cat $hit so don't worry about me winding up on the 6.7 forums.

and since my bed is kinda messed up from the granite guy i bought my truck from...
I am doing it I just never really paid attention to the wheel well lines or really noticed there being any to speak of. for me it is the front end on the new trucks that makes me gack.

A fellow Sprinkler Fitter that lives by me has a 2005 that he completely changed sheet metal to a 2014 model. Then painted it Seafoam-Green and I want to Yak every time I see it. He put insane amounts of money into that truck. Funniest thing is he wont fix the blown head gaskets on his 6.0. He's one of those guys with the 14" wide wheels hanging out 10" with skinny tires squeezed onto the rims.
Yea just not my style in any shape or form.
