    You rarely ever see them because they leave before you ever get there. Or sit tight and you never see them. I have seen them in the woods twice before when I was sitting very still on a log while hunting in the woods. He/she was very surprised when I shooed it away when it got about 5 feet from me. I would not want to be a squirell with that thing chasing me!o_O Mother?

    The other day I was able to clean up the front yard of leaves and prep the beds for the winter. This afternoon, when I came home from work, I ran the mower for the last time to pickup the dug in leaves and give the grass it's lowest haircut. After 20 mins of cutting I had to turn on the front porch light, I was cutting in the dark. It was only 4:30 :rofl: :lol:

    Yes, aluminum. Gooder stuff. All new f150s are aluminum, and the next super duty fords are aluminum too.

    NH mountain man , that's a sharp looking truck. It's easily my favorite color on the new f150s.

    GM is going to all aluminum too in only a couple years for their full size trucks. Ram should do it as well as they seem to have rust issues more so than the other . 0brands.

    All the body panels. I think the inside of the bed is still steel though...but I'm not sure on that.

    I am curious. Although aluminum is light and strong, it bends and scratches and dings easier. Not as tough as steel.

    Very much depends on the specific alloy they use. Some are very, very rigid, and will tear/crack before they bend. I think it could work out. Aluminum is not corrosion proof however. We shall see.

    No, but up here they put down 6 months of road salt a year. It just eats up cars & trucks, 10 years they are rotted out , won't pass inspection. Junk.

    Yup, that's one, real common around here. In 1976 ish, NH had Fisher Cats and no turkeys left. West Virginia had Turkeys but no Fisher Cats. So our two states traded during a reintroduction plan. Now we got Turkeys everywhere. Our minor league baseball team in Manchester is the Ta Da! " NH Fisher Cats"
