    We have been there during that time, few years back, it was really special. I haven't been there lately so I hope it all is well.

    Cleaned up the truck, I still have to get the new bumper skin caps dialed in so I can take off the band aids.

    So far the new bumper is getting 3mpg's more than the old one, who would have figured?

    Uh, no one, ‘cause it’s not, Bart! But I’ll toss in a mission inn pic while I’m at it. Love that place.

    There’s always a lot of empty little offices and stuff at the bottom. If Uncle Chuck scuttles out from one of them creaky doors, I’ll give him a high five for his MIA films I adored as a child.

    By the way, I was saying, the Victory 4x4 bumper is getting me 2.5-3 more mpg over the Body Armor Desert bumper. I am back up to about 17mpg, I was down in the 14's with the BA. I no longer have the winch installed and I am down close to 100 pounds on the nose of the truck. I didn't mean to say it was getting 3mpg over the stock bumper.

    Any chance your boots have been filled with helium post install? Just seems like a big jump when both bumpers still showcase our vaguely brick shaped trucks' face to the wind

    I got an extra bumper skin to replace the caps but, after cleaning up the trim, I think I'll take my time with the caps.
