    Since I've had a little vomit on the door for about a week, I figured it was time for a wash. And since I can't remember that last time the paint had been waxed well I bought some wax too. Also ditched the treadwrights in favor of these Firestone MTs in the 285 flavor. Should be going back to stock gears here pretty quick.

    Thanks Owen. Haven't touched the cruiser in a while haha. Hopefully if I get this job I can buy a 5.9 pretty quickly. Just kinda waiting on things to get rolling hah.

    Hey Max think you could throw up some pics of your puma air setup? I want to do something similar to what you have.

    Yeah, absolutely.

    I just separated the two and bolted them to the bottom of the box, think I had to change the wiring a little and then I had to route a new copper line. Ran some heavy gauge wire up to the battery, with an auto breaker near the positive post, can't remember how many amps though. Been meaning to add a ground side disconnect near the battery. That's basically it...

    Takes up a lot of room but I couldn't think of anywhere better unless you wanted to get crazy with some custom boxes under the truck or something.

    We here at TacomaWorld advise against barfing & driving.

    Haha, that was a rough morning. Buddy drove me home in my truck while I was puking out the window, while being watched by all those on board an RTC bus driving down plumb.

    I've got some plastic pallets that can be cut into waffle board strips if you want some.

    I've got waffle boards but thanks Randy!

    I could have aired down too, I didn't know what we were getting into. It appeared we were bringing a stock 2wd chevy truck with us, but we left them. Then I followed Jon who was running like 8 pounds or something on his 35 rockers.

    But I had a good time anyway.

    Well if you want some more they're cheep (free).
    It looked like a good trail run, just a little too cold for camping for us. Did you use the thermal blanket I gave you?
