Danica and I and a few members took a quick trip down to the Mark Twain Forest. What a great trip 80 degrees on Saturday picture perfect night and a great company. On the way back I had about a 20 mile per head wind. I managed a 9.4 miles per gallon avg. the supercharger pulled awesome even with the sail on top. Aka the roof top tent

From concept to almost finished product. Thanks to @kc_chevota for all of your help. I learned a ton. We cut both arms of the swing outs off and repositioned them higher so they would clear the gas struts and also build a two jerry can holder along with a high lift jack. All it needs now is little paint.

 

[SammyT96LX450]

All painted. I did move the license plate below the basket. Turned out nice.

Lights upgraded to ip68. I hope these will last little longer. But can't complain for 70 bucks for all 4.

I like the the design of the rectangular ones does it actually make it a wide flat beam like a fog light type?

Well after helping my father in law with his John Deere 318 engine I discovered that I had a blown fan clutch. Also changed out the plugs to colder one.

 

[SammyT96LX450]

Colder plugs and new wires. 1 month and 25 days to departure. Still have to wire up my external fan and we should be ready to go.

 

[SammyT96LX450]

Oh snap...

 

[SammyT96LX450]

Almost that time....I have been working on a punch list for both the towing truck and the lx. The beast is done I just finished wiring up the ac fan and put it in my last switch in the dash. The ford had few more items that were done
Icp sensor
6673 napa air filter mod
All the fluids changed except oil
4 inch exhaust
Egt digital gauge
Dp tuner with 80hp eco/60hp tow and 60hp mountain tow
Drive shaft carrier bearing
Front passenger caliper
Tire rotation
Alignment
Tightened the steering box
Ball joints
4wd vacuum seals
Tie rod ends
Did a maiden voyage with our camper which is about he same weight as the trailer/lx combo and did pretty good pulling through the ozarks. We are going again this weeekend and I'll get to test out the new tunes.

2 more weeks to Moab/Colorado

What did you think of Top of the World ?

What did you think of Top of the World ?

Can't explain it. Worth the trip.

 

[half k cruiser]

Can't explain it.

That's exactly how I felt about it. Safe travels friend.

 

[SammyT96LX450]

What an unbelievable trip. I have learned so much not just about me the kids the wife the rigs but how beautiful this country is. Get out there and explore!

It was one of the best trails I have done so far. Not difficult but yet pucker factor was 1,000,000. But so glad I did it. Especially when I was passed the water fall and it started to rain super hard and I did not hug wall enough and my lx started to slide. Yeah that was fun. Danica jumped out pretty quick.
