I'm on a well so I can use all the water I want, only have to worry about the pump burning electricity. I can tell you it is most def worth it! Your truck looks amazing, I love the stance with those wheels and tires it's so close to perfection



I thought ya'll might like an update on the accident I had with a bicycle. I bought the man a new Bike to the tune of a grand + and I got the old bike which is pretty much perfect minus a few paint chips and a very tiny bend in the frame. It rides perfect and man disk brakes on a bike really work! I'm deciding if i'll keep it or sell to get some money back on the deal.

On Memorial day they had an annual car show, we brought the Cougar, Bel-Air and Oldsmobile out and had a great day! Figured i'd share a few photos of that also since we all love pics so much

Looks like it was a perfect day, Russ. Thx for sharing the pics. Giant makes a decent bike, a good way to exercise to boot (not too hard on the knees for us older FTE'rs.

Nice pics! Curious, have they cleaded up that area at all? That Northway mall always felt a bit sketchy...

I tow over that speed too sometimes but I also monitor all tire temps and pressures underway with a TPMS. TST 507RV 6 Sensor Tire Monitor System with Flow Thru Sensors
Thanks for the advice on the trailer tires… I will take a hard look at those…. I wanted to do some good measuring while I was out with the trailer. It looks just a tad high to me as well… How foolish was I thinking that I would find that perfect level pad in a campground….

It it's not too late to cancel, I would stop the order and get them from 1A Auto, the vendor here at FTE that most of us got our from.

Today, my youngest son, 15mo, and I were able to break the hub locks free. Turns out they have been locked since before we bought the Beast in Jan of this year. Maybe mpg will improve slightly now...

I was thinking the same thing, why would you buy 8 year OLD mirrors

Speaking about Old, Happy Birthday Stewart 362 and counting

Thanks for the advice. The ones I ordered are new 08-15 mirrors. 1A-Auto really went up in cost, I have been keeping an eye on prices for some time. The ones I got will be in on Friday, if I don't like them I will return them and regroup.

I'm really not sure what I have going on this weekend, but you're more than welcomed to stop by my part of town to check out my power fold 1A auto mirror.

They did go way up in cost? And just as I was considering!]

What kind of price increase?
