Sorry I'm not gonna make it, the shop has taken the remaining 83 hours a week from my 50 hours at the paying job. I know, I can sleep when I'm dead.

Roger flew in from Missouri to buy his first 7.3. We helped him refresh some items before driving it back home.


Us all hanging out Friday night


Russ's EX and his camper


Jim adding a long needed 2.5 gallons (that's gallons, not quarts) of oil to the crankcase and installing a new fuel filter


The shop


What's left of Mike's bed bolts


Planning our attack to make room for Mike's excursion tank addition. He will be running vegi soon.


Mike's bed off the truck


Thank you rust belt


The bottom side of the same hole


Rear cross member removal has started


Left over parts


The rear frame all clear and ready for an additional tank


Mike prepping the new bed bolts


Russ is having just a little too much fun coating anti-seize on the new bolts


New bolts all ready to be tightened down


Jim's tailgate on the OBS.
