sketch Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Damn that is a nice lookin rig! I'm getting the vibe, my led foot grey is attracting some attention.. seems most people move over when i roll up behind them. Had some deseil dodge puff some smoke trying to keep up today. I was just curious. He didn't last long. Would like a front pic with the marker lights on. That makes this a rear mirror mental condition for most people in my area. Congrats on your new truck I'm interested how it compares.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your new truck I'm interested how it compares.? The new truck has so much going on inside, it's crazy. I love the new tech, the heads-up display is fantastic, screen and gauge configuration seems endless. Screams like a raped ape when you mash to go pedal.

sketch Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 (edited) For sure there is a ludicrous speed, It has a name.. baja mode! You should be in the right mind to ignore the stars and planets whizzing buy and anticipate the moon rocks and interstellar cacti.. chalk it up to some scratches on the paint 😈 I'm doing some 60k minor up keep stuff. I found some new marker lights for the fenders. New spark plugs, wipers, and swaybar links. Got the tires rotated , balanced, and realigned. I had a weird wobble ( truck side to side at top speed) and the infamous hard shift. Do they still stock the ko2 bfg's? I run toyo's, but not enough time on the bfg to know the difference? 37"?

Madhouse Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 I got the 35", that 37" package was like $11k more. They're still K/O 2's on my new rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 @Madhouse, did you have any issues with the flooding and power outages around Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 Not personally, no property damage. I had to run on my backup generator for a little over a day, but we're back online now. Many many people are not. I spent a decent part of today helping a widow friend of my wife's get up on backup power. Thanks for asking.

392heminut Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 My niece said they were without power for 4 days but they had a generator for backup also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 Longest outage I know about was our widow friend who went 7 full days without power. But I made many gas runs for her (daily) and she never lost any food in her fridge or freezers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
