JL's garage of misfit toys and other BS

Awesome build bro. I live in houston but work in conroe. I drive my 1st gen more though lol

 

Good Morning James

 

Mornin Manner, How are you?

 

Doing great. Truck still doing ok?

 

Yes sir, it's doin fine. Still learning how it drives but it's becoming more fun. Other than the MPG hit i took (which could be more tires and bumper related) It's alot better to drive. Have to watch the skinny pedal on takeoffs or I'll bark the tires. Towed the trailer (lightly loaded) to Jambo like a dream, held 70 on those ETX hills fairly easily. Great off road, very slow and controled even in the jambo mud which was slick as owl shit.

 

That's great

 

How much longer you got up there in the North Pole?

 

Start the flight home Monday 13th

 

Awesome! Hope your ready for a drastic weather change. It's been hot and muggy here

 

I am, got a lot to do to get the shop back together

 

I bet. With all the stuff your putting in there your making me think you're planning on opening a garage when you retire. haha. It's gonna be an awesome workshop

 

Just a hobby to make a little money to pay for hunting and fishing.

 

Interesting

 

I got numbers similar to those when I left the gear shop. Not sure why but mine only lasted for about two tanks of gas then settled to around a 15.4 mpg everyday average. My max mpg since that time has been 16.8 on one tank and my minimum has been 13.2 mpg on a tank which was while towing the utility trailer to Jambo.

Have to keep in mind, I'm running a 295 that weighs in at 66 lbs per tire and my bumper is 240 lbs also.

 

Morning Gents. Beautiful day here. low 60's bright blue skys and a light breeze.

 

Same here just enjoying it before I gotta goto work.

 

bummer that you have to work on such a day, but $$ is nice to have. Enjoy it while you can brother!

 

Thanks! Ya it’s a bummer somewhat but sundays are always slow nice way to ease into the work week.
