I’m like two major projects away from tearing into this truck. For now the pain will persist.
 
Mamabear persists. No thoughts, just good times.

waiting for @open country to make me an offer.

Round trip done.

This truck needs better seats. I’m hurting. I went straight to aleeve, Blantons and an ice pack as soon as I got home.

Zero issues. It seems to really like this Mobil 1 15w50 oil. Consumption was the lowest it’s ever been. 1q in 3500 miles.

More to follow.

I drove mine to Maine last summer, better seats are on my list as well. I will say that the One Stone armrests were a really nice addition. Id really like to get the Scheelmann seats but damn thats a rough price to swallow... thinking the BMW seats are in my future
 
Corbeau sells brackets for their seats.


I think the GTS-2 would look great in grey

 
those gts 3 seat sides look formidable. There is a reason the OEM seats are worn away at the driver sides as everyone slides into them due to how tall the rig is. I would be concerned about hall tall the sides are?
 
I even get in our 200 the same way, and it's worn. I have sliders, and I should use them properly, but I don't. I'm fine with the seats being a consumable for my comfort.
 
Another lake day.

I’m getting far to good at this.

Even steam cleaned the intake this time around.

I’ll be putting an order in for the water pump, clutch assembly and a gasket kit for the 12HT soon. Time to stop kicking the can down the road with this one.

Time to go from one tractor motor and hard to find parts, to the same but with boost.

Replacement truck is nearly done.

60 will get the 2F pulled and 12HT put in by 2027.

Both trucks will be at solid axle summit. The 60 is now a loaner.
