Well I got my exhaust tacked and preliminary fit up but I didn't have time to burn it in and mount it. So close!

I had to finish up some honey do and install my basement and new kitchen floor. That is done so time to buckle down on this truck!

However, once I hooked the camper back up.... it isn’t reading the pressures anymore and keeps telling me I have a low tire (the one that was 61 psi). It requires you to train the system by letting air out of the tires until the horn honks in the truck telling you it reads the pressure. That is why they are all less than the normal 80 cold psi on the screen.

Anyway, I filled them all back to 80 and the truck doesn’t recognize the pressure or that that tire is no longer still low.

So..... I have to try and figure out why it’s not seeing the pressures now.

At least the camera works great!


I did get my new nice dually pressure gauge and air chuck today....

Sorry Danielle, looks like I missed this post. Did you still want to bring ground beef?
Yes I can do one big pot of ground beef and one big pot of ground chicken.

Are there any vegetarians? We have a good recipe for veggie taco "meat" we use when my vegan relatives come over

Should have the CB in finally tomorrow. I couldn't find my power cord or my mic but I popped into a truck stop today on my lunch break and blew a whopping $22 so now I should be good to go lol! I was happy because the mic that was supposed to be with my radio was on sale for $15. Score.

I've never been a huge fan of the backup camera, but it would be nice to not need to get out 15 times to hook my trailer up. I can definitely see how it would be nice on the back of a camper too.

Rob did I read you are having issues also.

I believe what you saw was he was worried if he'd get his huge todo list done before the trip... His floor mats lol

My pre rally list. Gonna take these here floor mats, and put them in the Excursion.

Whew, sounds exhausting ...LOL

I had to figure a couple of them out to use the built in SWR meter but the rest are pretty simple. Squelch, gain etc. The only one I haven't bothered to figure out is how the dynamic mic works.

I’m about to be ready to hitch myself. I’d love to be completely packed by tomorrow night.
