My LED headlights from @ToyotaMatt arrived yesterday so today I installed them. I like the end result. I look forward to my next night driving opportunity.

I was finally able to test and just my LED’s from @ToyotaMatt tonight. I’m pleased with the amount of illumination!

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Looks mint mate and thanks for the shout out! Truth be told I started hankering for a 12H-T

 

[Michael B]

You’re welcome and you won’t regret Dan!

Amazing truck! And the right hand drive driver didn’t do so bad with the left hand drive .

 

[Michael B]

Thanks @middlecalf He’s been practicing for awhile now! I’m not sure which seat occupies in the cockpit though?

I haven't checked in in a while. What a great video!
The sound of the 12ht and the drive by gave me goosebumps.
Love it!

Thanks Mark! It’s good to here from you. I hope have been well and safe during these chaotic times. I told him the story of purchasing the engine from you but he opted not to include that in the video. @troopie

I put the old man to work today. He pulled the cedar tree down in 3 rugs. Here’s a picture of him standing over his prey.

Hi Michael, All has been well over here. Our family business got a hit in the beginning of the pandemic, but we managed that okish.
My wife and i where in the planning stages of a 3 to 4 week roadtrip thru the US, with a dedicated stop in Huntsville The pandemic put an end to that unfortunately. Not sure when we'll be able to pick up planning again and make it a reality.

It's really good to see that Samson is put to work!

@troopie
Mark I’m glad you and your family are well. I hope your business will continue to recover. Sorry to hear your trip planning has been postponed. Hopefully you can resume those plans soon.
Samson enjoys a good work out when the opportunity comes up. I hope to meet you in person in the near future.
