Congratulations on the trip!!!

Welcome home, glad it went well! Rest up so you can get after those sliders. I'd like to see some more pics of them.

Highest temp I saw on the trip was 182 when I was stuck in "traffic" in Nevada. It was about 80* air temp out. I was sitting with the AC on for about 5 min. Elevation was probably 4-5000 ft.

Not sure where temps are supposed to be but was almost always around 170-171

The sliders will get painted this week sometime. I think they are going to be black. For now. When I paint the whole truck they (and the rest of the armor) will get sandblasted and painted to match.

The sonuvabitching alarm! Seriously! This is the most ridiculous alarm I have ever experienced in my life. It is coming out. TODAY!

 

[LS1FJ40]

And I need to put foam tape around the radiator and fan shroud. They didn't do this after the radiator was replaced. Anyone have a suggestion for what to use? I know @jonheld mentioned doing this once upon a time but didn't mention what kind of foam tape. Is there specific automotive foam tape? Or just the foam tape weatherstripping stuff from Lowe's?

Nah man, @98 SNAKE EATER has you beat

I was referring to the fact that when you shut the doors and don't lock them it still arms the alarm. Ridiculous.

Just a bag of adhesive sided 3/4" foam

It's Iowa, the sheep get drunk. Go joyriding...or try to escape.

It's just a matter of perspective. To you they may be sheep.
To them... girlfriends.

I used some self adhesive foam weatherstripping. Anything will do as long as it's pliable enough to form to the shape.
