Wow that is just about as perfect as a neighborhood can get. Nice and open with a beautiful view to take in while you work on the truck outside. Nice!
I couldn't do a panarama view picture right there but it's a 360 degree view like that.

I just checked, my new camper I got last week has 2 sets of braking axles. Both are electric drum brakes.

I'm fine with that. I don't do hot weather.

Ok thanks Mr Glenn. I haven't had time to mess with this thing in a while. Started a new job then went on vacation. Got to pull in an 8ft long 200lb lemon shark. Was like trying to pull in a bull. Our captain/skipper for the day set me up with the drag set all the way up so there was almost zero give. My whole body was done after this.

Well she sat all winter besides cranking her up once in a while just to get her moving. Garage stays at 60degrees so it doesn't get anything cold. I used her to pull my jeep again to moab, about 1.5hrs one way. It pulled the jeep and trailer up everything at 75mph without an issue. The highest my egts got was 11.5 and my boost would get to 15 and 17 most of the time for the hard pulls. Trucks still doing great. And got 12 mpg towing 7k up large mountains at 75mph. I really hope she stays this way.

I'm sure it'll have a hick up here and there. Thanks again for all the help with getting this thing running right.

Haven't been able to do much with the truck lately. Started working in the oil field again. 16 hr days don't leave much free time. Anyway while at work I got to take a pic of where we go camping. This was takin from the top of the adjacent mountain. The bottom arrow is at the valley floor at 3750ft (it looks both far and close because of the mountain ridge 300 yards away covering most of it up) and the top arrow is where we stop, its at 12500ish feet. Its a hell of a pull.
And a panoramic view of my office today.
