    Special times indeed. :thumbsup: Did you swap over the longer inner metal tube from the plastic to the new one? This gets overlooked sometimes.

    These daily driver mods are kinda lame and yet, I’m still excited about them. Behold, the grocery holder.

    For those that don't know, there are little notches on the sides of the bed. I cut a 2x8 to 66.25" long and it drops right in.

    Keep trying to follow the trail, it should leads to the "nest" where the Queen is located. Spraying is much more effective if you can spray as close to the nest as possible because the poison is more likely to spread to the Queen. If they are trying to move into your truck see if you can find where they are beginning from. My wife is a master at this. She literally leads the bug guy around our yard to spray nests she has traced the trail back to. Otherwise just heavy spray on the trail you can see and that might discourage them somewhat. Good Luck!

    I use a bayer ant bait you can get off Amazon depending on what state you’re in. The trick is to use very little and let the ants “find” it. If you sprinkle it in their path they won’t touch it. They bring it into nest ant it wipes it out.

    If they are little sugar ants what I have found that works the best is to use the little white Raid ant traps and mix the solid bait with some Terro liquid bait (cut the top off, squirt a bunch in and mix with a toothpick). They seem to like the taste of the Terro but the Raid kills them better. Usually kill a colony in under 36 hours.

    Below is the link to mine. I love it!

    Pour in the exact amount needed in the container and just dump into engine. Quick double check of oil level gauge and keep moving.

    Did end up making my own zip tie holder for nossle end as it would collect oil at end of hose as oil setting.

    Those are where they should have originally been installed by the manufacturer… Such a convenient location. I wish I had the cut on my platinum I would have relocated mine by now.
