No, it was a vegas trip first and formost (what happens in vegas, stays in vegas), and no one really snapped any pictures.

Ha good point sir!

Even on the trails of Vegas... Good tire carnage though

Sorry I am total slacker on this thread. Been getting the truck ready for this weekend's trip. It's a memorial trip for my fallen friend.

Anyways some stuff I have been working on.

Replaced the leaky water pump. it took 4+ gallons of water to get me home from Barstow.

Full prep.

messing with my new 9/16-18 lug nuts one night at 2am.

This pic is next to my current 5/8 lug nuts


Hand tapped, not the best but it is what it is.


Got one wheel worth of lug nuts done


It's a rear wheel. I am gonna put some miles on it to see if it holds up. Worst case, I have a bunch of extra old style lugs in the truck


got creative with the old visors, cause i was sick of having to use my right hand to shield the sun while driving.




All loaded up, RC crawler and all


Outside cooler location. I have three coolers in this thing now!


Oh and last night at midnight I was board so I pulled the grill and starting swiss cheesing the core support to get more air to the tranny cooler as it still runs at 240 or so.


That's it for now.

This beast is packed to the gills! Looks good dude.

Are those lug nuts the same taper?

Yes, 60 degree if I am not mistaken.

They are just a standard Dorman lug nut purchased in bulk for less then a buck a piece.

What? No Frankenbolt? Bummer.

Awesome shot! It should be converted to a GFB banner poster!.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. I would like to do something with this picture other then getting a canvas printed for the house.
