Tundra seems small next to it

Eagle landed. Battery dead. New battery fired it up but it is starving for fuel. Fuel system needs a baseline as does other systems. Rolled it off the hauler. Towed into the barn area. Used the skidsteer to final position. She heavy! Its longer than the single axle Peterbilt! She brown all over.

Such a rad truck, congrats @SipLife. Its begging for King Ranch leather interior! Those tires take me back 30 years, my elder cousin had a single cab High Boy with those same military 37’s.

Mann that sure is tempting, I’m sure my back would thank me 20 years from now. I’m just not a new interior in old vehicles kinda guy, I like to feel like I’m driving a time capsule. I was told these were military Humvee tires, definitely a fan of the look. New tires are on the list, will probably do some Coker Super Lugs or Yokohama MT.

@SipLife came home to do a few things on the high boy. Fuel system needs work. Tank has the gunk. Drained it, filled with fresh fuel, new filters. Idles well. Not familiar with edelbrock carbs but feels like the accelerator pump or power piston is sluggish. Next on the list. She drives on her own power. @SipLife got a list going for the next critical things. He will be back. Its a beast for sure.

@RevISK also swung by and we chased some ghosts on some front end squeaks and a reported “clunk” we could not find. I was suspicious about his claim when he told me he can hear current flowing in transmission power lines. My advice to send it fell on deaf ears. He also worked on enhancing his Orikawa door cards using nutserts. Regardless of his “claims”always a good time.

Yo Yo...

CD, always good to see you and the fam. Liam's truck is badazz, it's going to be killer once it is all buttoned up. Thought of you on every "glunkDunck" the steering did on the way back to my lodgings. It's there... you didn't feel anything when you drove it because you drive like a grandmother of a grandmother.

Excuse me while I go yell at the carpet for growing too loudly.

Good you appreciate how I drive your rig. I sense instant trust here!

You're not alone, I can hear power lines too!

Jack upgrades for big rigs and regular trucks. My old HF jacks gave up the ghost. Looked into rebuild kits. Costs more than buying new. Hate to throw away. I will see to rebuild them later . Also got a bigger chain wrench for big rig filters

@Cowboy45 was a tad wigged out with baja gearbox design for next years race car. So I distracted him with a trip to the lake to catch a sunset. Pterodactyl and Kermit stretched their legs. Calming to watch the sun set

I glanced at the badlands jack, the plastic wheels lifting three tons did not feel right

So got this for Tundra, LS work, wife’s 200. It’s bidirectional capable, does ABS, etc. was 35% off. Chasing down an issue with my Tundra. Got ABS/Brake/ traction control dash lights on. No check engine light. Replaced wheel speed sensors but has not solved it. Wiring looks good. Hopefully scan tool picks up non MIL DTCs.
