    Wouldn't you like to know!
    They told me the reason my tpms light is on 24/7 was because I didn't have one on the spare or one of the factory ones went out...:crazy: then quoted me 4 new ones @ $80 each sensor and that they were not 100% sure that it would work so I was like efff that I can live with the light on and I have eyes that can see if my tire is low...granted that was over 2 years ago so the price may have came down on them since then.

    @exportexp did you find some extra tent stakes in your truck bed Sunday afternoon? My bag of stakes walked off from the travel bag and no one else had them that was left there.

    Yes, they were under my tent when we unloaded that afternoon.
    I have them in my toolbox. Let me know if you need them before next C&C and we will figure out how to get them to you.

    Do you guys think that fully loaded (armor, lift, rack, roof rack, spare tire carrier, jerry cans, etc) you guys are getting the same MPG as a Tundra? Would a tundra be able to handle the same weight and get equal or better gas mileage due to the power?

    I had a 2000 Tundra that no matter what I did to it, loaded down, or no load, it would get the same 14.5mpg. Loaded down felt the same as no load, that thing was a monster.

    Always good to unplug for awhile. I always say I'll go my days off without using my phone for other than phone calls... but it's hard to break habits :oops:
