Nice! I love it out west. Was out there last year and seen all that stuff for like the 3rd time. Mount Rushmore,The Black Hills,Badlands,Devil Tower,etc. Just love the scenery.

Awesome. We unfortunately can't see it all but mt rushmore was nice to finally see it not on tv!

In Bozeman, MT tonight. Very weird whine coming from the truck rear after a long haul but at parking lot speeds. Take the trailer off and it did it initially but stopped. So odd. I kinda want the truck to break. I'll get a diesel!

My wife is actually kinda on board for it. Probably not that soon, especially after the new tires and wheels.

Yeah I know. Wife picked it up two deployments ago and we paid it off during the last one. Then the new tires and wheels. I've got practically everything done to this as well.

Leveling kit, tires, wheels, drilled and slotted rotors, hellwig helper springs, complete audio, inverter, brake controller, billet grille, air intake, throttle body spacer, exhaust, bed liner, tint, programmer, nice husky floor liners, backup camera, big 4 wiring upgrade and optima yellow top.

Doesn't sound like a lot but it's nice. Overall what's nicer is pulling a heavy load appropriately!

Update on the bar. Due to the angle of the gate and driving through seattle with the bumpy roads I looked back at one point and saw something that dropped my throat in my gut. My tailgate was hanging. It bounced out of the track and was dangling. No damage to the bumper or gate though! One of the cables got the rubber worn off some. Going to get a hose clamp to hold the passenger side on until I can make one for that side.

Another update. Never used a hose clamp or anything. I travelled 500 miles today without an issue. Driving from seattle to sumas and now overnight in quesnel, bc the sites were amazing.

Here's a stop we made. I jumped over the barricade and took the shots.
