Side trans tin cover reduced to 1/16" and flat blacked

pumper torched out

Ligher bar and radio is 15 lbs

going to work on front foot well tins tomorrow, and swap to prerun tires to check weight again.

Erik- i think im going to change the air filter gaurd to the bottom like you said.  such a simple thing that has stumped me- will fix easy removal, dust shield on bottom, and look way less obtrusive to the car lines.

So when you're on the track and you encounter a point where you'd need to winch out, how do you do that when you have no codriver?

getting out sucks.  you loose 10 minutes plus what you had to do.  belts and nets and radios and pumper hose.  something is bound to get put back in an agitating way. 

your car being in the way is also a risk, especially since i cant really see behind me.  at all. 




Tonight start good, turned bad, returned to good.

pulled the rear bench seat from the 4500, made a carpet covered deck, mattress fits much better now.  Rear tool box removed.  Radio antenna mounted to headache. 

Stripped out a rear wheel stud locking down lug nuts on the car.... added spare front / rear studs to the parts pile and spare lug nuts....

packed car tool bags and on board spare parts.

pumped out matts car.  11 gals of fuel is FUCKING heavy. 
added back my remote fill to the car.  no way you guys would be able to fuel me safely without it. 

packed and packed more.  Matt and I dropping 4500 at regional 8am for sticker.
