    Sitting here waiting on the eclipse. Started talking to my wife and somehow we got on the subject of truck nuts. Said, she " absolutely forbids Big Red to have those stupid things on it". Since I'm a man and no one tells me what to do with my truck, I decided to show her who's boss. Now I'm...

    Picked up this baby. Meet Snowball a turbo diesel 6 speed VW. The plan was to teach my son how to drive in it and then eventually swap that engine into Sushi Roll. But I'm enjoying how it drives for now so I might leave it the way it is for the foreseeable future.

    Dropped off some parts for sushi roll. She's getting the Big Red treatment. Wider axle housing, 4.88 lockers with lunch box lockers, IFS hubs, chromoly axles, upgraded brakes front and back, traction bar.... On the interior end, I'll be replacing the heater core and HVAC system. More to...

    I've been distracted with so many projects that I've been neglecting Big Red for a while. I intend to come back to it in full force after I'm done traveling for work. But in the meanwhile, Sushi Roll and Penelope Cruiser are getting upgrades left and right. Penelope got some welding done on her...

    I haven't calculated the MPGs in a while so I decided it was time do so on my next long trip. Drove Big Red down to San Antonio and back. On the way down with some slowdowns towards the end and mostly doing highway speeds, I managed 18.8 mpg. The way up was mostly highway speeds between 70mph...

    Looks like Big Red is getting some height competition. Added 37s on Sushi Roll and to my surprise, There are no rubbing issues and no spacers needed. I will have to regear it if I'm sticking to that size.

    Small update on Sushi Roll before I refocus on taking big red out for trips. Sushi Roll was getting a hi-steer conversion and power steering installed. It also had a small oil leak from the timing chain cover, so decided to get that addressed. When we got in there, Hunter noticed that the...
