Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Nah I understand. We can one day. I think you'll like URE in NC. The views are awesome being wheeling to the top of mountains

 

I want to go sometime but right after a really long trip probably wont be a good time. Plus driving the daily is much easier haha

 

Lol just realized my Hi-lift bar was sitting out by the mailbox, I figured its probably a good idea to have a hi lift for the trip. I haven't chased the snapped bolt out of the old mount yet and really wish I had a better place to mount it

 

Sleeping platform is done besides some cosmetic carpet and a handle for the drawer. Didnt make an enclosure for the fridge like I had hoped but thats no big deal. Also did some grinding on the cab mount relocate top plate, it sat out further than I had tubbed and knew from the get go I would have to grind it down but not I should be pretty good. At complete full lock I barely rub the frame, but a small turn away and its fine. I was going to notch the frame but I might hold off and live with losing a very small percentage of turning until its time for SAS. 35s rubbed ever so lightly on the frame and I managed so I think ill be okay.

And if I can't stand it then when I get back home ill notch the frame in the one spot


Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day


Also I did the math, ill probably either drive 60mph all the way or draft lol Im looking at a possible $300 savings in gas if I don't drive like an asshole

 

Aux battery hooked up, verified ACR was doing its job and receiving a charge
Fridge has power direct to the Aux battery
Drive shaft greased
Oil changed, got ahead of myself and put 6qts in so I had the pleasure of dumping a half out hahah
Cut a piece to fit on top of the drawer for a "sleeper" extension
Mounted the roof rack stuff
Changed out the hi lift bar
Chased out the old sheared hi lift mount bolt
All the gear is loaded
Just have to throw my bags in the truck come morning and ill be good to go after my appointment

Such a long day outside in the rain

 

Half a quart won't hurt your engine. No need to drain jt

Most cars that come through work I go about a half more just so if there's a leak or that if the engine decides it wants to burn oil or something. Plus the filter sucks a bit for itself

 

Can't wait to see some pics and th inevitable tie rod replacement according to the poll.

 

He will probably be there next week, save that ⛽️ money

 

538miles to Dewey bridge....

Was averaging 16mpg earlier but now it's so damn windy so it's a solid 11 now

 

Ouch.....

 

Anyone else notice 4WP Christmas sale, warn zeon 10s for 900, wish that's what I paid last year

 

yeah i saw that today as i was perusing their selection of 37s and dreaming... for reals

 

Still not bad when compared to my 13

 

Maybe I don't wanna park next to you.....my tundra is already begging for 37s....

 

I bet these would look soo good on your truck

 

Made it to Utah!

 

Need more pictures like that! Those 37s are stuffed.

 

How was the drive?

 

AWESOME...!!!
