Well, I got my SCT tunner and have been running the different tunes to see how they work. 260+kms a day gives me lots of testing time This weekend, the sled deck comes out, assuming that I can find a place to put it and a way to get it out. The headache rack and dry box are going back in, and the whole thing is going to get detailed. Heck, I might even take the wheels off and polish them up

J_E_Summit: were in the field do you work that you have that commute?
You could always back into the shed in the back of your sig picture and lift it off with ropes/pulleys from the rafters and even suspend it that way for the summer! That works great to suspend canopies, boats, etc, as long as the rafters are up to the task. Back in and lower/raise onto/off the truck and away you go and most times you can do that with only one guy.

I have been working in Kitwanga and comuting from smithers. Just found out that my mad Civil3D skills are needed and I am going to be stuck in the office for most of the next 3 months which has me looking for a new job because working in an office all winter is as much as I can stand.

The shed in the background is my dad's and he already uses the attic space for his deck He lifts it up and parks his boat under it. I am gonna just set it on ground with my uncle's bobcat and leave it there till the last of the snow melts.

Oh and SCT X3 review = LOVE IT! Haven't tried the premium tune yet, but the 87 HP tune works great and the mileage hasn't varried at all.
