Used the 25# Kidde fire extinguisher truck mount for my CO2 tank, just installed it a couple of weeks ago at $44 its cheaper than what I could build my self.

Looks good! Is that mount all metal ?

Sure is, they sell them at a local Fire & Safety shop if anyone is looking for something similar and I can hand them off in Moab.
It has a base plate under the carpet that makes it easy to bolt down.
 
So yesterday, I loaded the 80 with all the crap I usually strap to the trailer or put in the bed of the truck. Everything....tons of crap just stacked in the back seat and the rear area.

I opened it up today to plug the ARB fridge in and it smelled like a dead animal in my truck so I had to take everything back out and get it away from the truck and do a smell test.

Last thing I pulled out was a folding chair that I had taken out of the camper at Chris and Debbie's house and laid in the yard but never used.

A HUGE bullfrog had climbed in the bag and died.

s***. That was way more work than I was planning tonight....

I got it all back in and coolers packed.

Loading the trailer in 2 days.....
 
She is up and running. Brakes were not the best before surgery, still no so hot. FSM test tells us we have a booster going out. OEM booster will be here Tuesday. Install booster, adjust up emy brakes and align and Bessie is ready for the trailer. Lots better off from a week ago. Thanks everybody!

HOT DAMN! Anybody got a chair?

I got a chair AND afirst aid kit!! Lets do this!
 
If you are going to do it you might as well do it first class...the only way CLC knows how...

The disco ball is packed up. Ill hang it from a tree if necessary. I have my priorities straight.
 
Swamp coolers work great out west. When we lived in New Mexico our house was cooled by a large swamp cooler and it stayed a cool 70 degrees through some blistering hot summers. They should probably keep things down in the 70's and they can really cool things off at night.

I can't wait to see the pictures...I can't believe I am going to miss this trip.

Got the Co2 tank mount built tonight at Jrobs. Did some stuff on El Toro like get the lights wired right and braced up the rear bumper since he is hanging an additional 2 gas cans on the back. Gotta put a new P/S cooler on the purdy truck and I'm done.
 
Dude... You know we are bringing a tree! Who you think you going with???

That's funny, but so true. I packed some toilet paper in the 80 last night...
