Happy Monday... I got the garage all cleaned up this weekend. Gonna be moving the truck in there sometime this week. I'll need to remove the bumpers in order for the garage door to close. I only have about 1 ft of clearance!

I let 40 lbs out of my tires and still drove several miles in granny gear idling. no climbing on the rough stuff as the road is the old narrow gauge rail road bed from Jerome to Chino Valley so it is a steady grade.

I was on a rough road once with my jeep and kept letting air out, stopped several times to do it. when we got home I checked them with a gauge and they only had 10 pounds in them. it rode smooth but no power.
