    I should try the lower tire pressure on my dinosaur F250. I run 80 rear 50 front as door placard says. Ride empty is terrible, makes Lisa ill after a few rough roads. I did put 350 rear leafs on it years ago - my 220 lbs can jump up and down on rear bumper and it won’t move 1/2”. I may try 50#’s in rears. It does pull 12K occasionally so that’s why rears are at 80.

    Billy, ask Joe how to properly set air pressure. I think he inflates the tire to the pressure stated on the tire and then measures the bumper height. Then he lets the air out until the bumper drops an inch. Joe, did I get that right...LoL.

    Would an inch do it? Or maybe shoot for two.

    If u see no slight squatting at the bottom of a sidewall in a radial it's got too much air. Just the same as u know u r a overloaded sled if u got 315 80 with a 100 psi in them and the sidewalls r almost touching between the duels like the prevo motorhome.

    Inspiration. I wonder how many separate circuits they put the lights on?? The visor and the bullet spot lights r to die for. Can't see them but the doors r suicide.

    Love the CAT FOOD decal - reminds of another I saw on a nice street rod back when fuel prices were high - "FOSSIL FUELS ARE YUMMY". It was well thought out to aggravate all the right (scratch that) "correct" people.

    The Yorktown was SEVERELY attacked and damaged twice the second time being sunk in the battle of midway. It had to be scuttled, so sad.

    I think that's the old Reliable Carriers show truck - a few generations ago - next time I see Mike or Cindy White I'll see if I remember this post.

    Its now on the vintage race car road course circuit. Sebring, road Atlanta, Virginia international raceway ect.

    2 great camping events coming up. Virginia international raceway last of sept Road atlanta early October. Both 4 day events with 1 week between some power mostly boindocking very very inexpensive for what u get. Ill be at both.

    Racing, custom car shows, total pit access. 5 mile road courses in the hills. Something for the entire family. Come 1 come all watch Jack Finch (14R ) battle it out with the likes of Bill Elliott. Wide open spaces totally covid friendly!! I don't think its 200 for a camping pass.

    Hey Chip u know. Real diesels smoke when they drink. They have throttling controlled by linkage not wires and the r always only 1 color Caterpillar yellow. U guys with those Canadian p model buses should paint yer motors yellow and at lease get 1 of the 3 right.

    That military thing its got a yellow motor in it too and I guarantee its got Delvac oil in it not that donkey piss every body else peddles.
