    Put ~700 miles on my truck this weekend, Fuel consumption was a little high due to just hauling ass but got almost 12 towing Sam's buckwheat and ~15 unloaded.

    The 37's are staying, turns out most of my issues were caused by tunning and have now been fix. Better drop hitch, air bags and gears will still be going on in that order. It's easy to see some hotter EGT's with the lower cruising RPM's, but that's just fixed by speeding up


    Couple poser pics






    BTW, Sam's has a really amazing place



    For comparison, my place which is only 300 miles west (should be one tank):

    Got the HID's on, easier than expected just plugged the factory fog light connector into the ballast. I'll be in the shop most of the day if any CS people want to stop by.

    I thought you were putting them in place of the factory fog lights.

    I wouldn't use them anywhere traffic might be, but I have no idea about legal ramifications

    Couple pictures from the bumper I'm building. The brackets are 1/4 inch plate, would welding d-ring tabs to the front face (indicated in red) suffice for tow points? Also where is a good source for an aluminum skid plate? 3/8 or 1/4 aluminum plate?

    the pry-bar was not used on the bumper...

    Thats going to look slick... What size are the holes in the front plate going to be? We have a 2-3/8" punch for our iron worker, if that is about the right size, you could bring it up to paris and punch them out

    Looks good. I would still add a place for a winch. Looks good though.

    My last ditch effort to persuade you. I promise........You are going to use this truck right? Like possibly some go-fast stuff, possoibly so beach, woods, trail action? Are you always going to be with someone that can get you out.....get your heavy ass 3/4 diesel truck out?? Probnot right?

    Well, if you you still say no, at least you have my number, so my old 1/2ton pickup can come winch your ass out ( w/snatch blcok of course since your truck is stupid heavy)

    Sam- Can y'all punch a one inch hole and how thick of material?

    John- I'll be putting a receiver hitch behind the skid plate, but have no plans or really any want for a winch in the front bumper. As soon as I have the means to bend 2 inch tubing I'll be making another one anyway


    And thanks y'all

    Yeah we have a 1" punch. The rule is you cannot punch anything that is thicker than your holes diameter, so 1" punch can do 1" material, but 3/4" can only do up to 3/4"
