HAHAHA, funny you mention that.

My wife has $50 that says I will sleep in it the first night. I slept in my F150 the first night and the Expedition too. The Expy was nice, I reclined in the second row and watched a DVD.

Already got the SCT tuner....Mike at 5 star is on speed dial to write me a tune as soon as I let him know which truck I went with. I'm tentative with mods though with the head bolts stretching issue and all of the other problems.

I dont blame you, I think the SCT has been the best I have seen for the 6.0, but i havent seen DP tunes yet on a 6.0. Rich (toyman) had them on his truck, he was pleased.

Very pleased with DPtunes. Great people there.

Looks like the weatherman is predicting a nice weekend. Hoping to shoot over to the tiki bar and stand in the corner, at least for a picture. LOL

really looking forward to 4 days off in a row.

All you have to do is **** someone off and you'll get sent to the corner... (of the Tiki Bar)

We'll be getting there Friday night and leaving Tuesday some time.

Mike recommended a 60HP tune for a good bump in performance and a few MPG's.

I had a 60hp towing, 80 hp economy, and 120hp race. Along with ARP studs, EGR delete and no cat or muffler. In the economy setting with my 35" Mickey's I would average about 17.5 mpg.

Just ordered 4 more PIAA 520's for the roof rack so I can button up the dash switches. Ordered the lines for the air horns and the push button.

As if you couldn't see me coming before you can see & hear me.....

Have to wait a little on my amp and speakers.

Wish I could place a new sticker in my window........

T-minus 22 minutes for my first brew of the day. Then it's off to my buddy's shop where we 'work' on our trucks. It's been about 15 years since we started 'Fellas Night.' We get together to 'work' on our toys Tuesday or Wednesday every week. Hey - my wife knew about it before I married her and I got it in writing that I still get to partake in 'working' on my truck every week. Truth be told, we do get stuff done. But I'm sure we could get more done if we focused.
