Tires were much better than I expected. I actually got all 4 new ones in the rear right before we left because the ones on it had tons of flat spots. Let the new ones down to about 25lbs each and once all the weight from the cargo was in, it helped smoothen the ride out a bunch.

Hit some rain. No wipers, and the windshield was way too flat for rain-x so the water just sat there. Had a pre-made piece of plexiglass to cover the engine that worked great. Rain stopped so packed the tarps back up. Thats my co-pilot Had to get another flag cause the first one fell apart...

got the flat bed started tonight, it will have sides and a back against the cab. dont mind the metal it was just there for alignment

started the wiring this week, got it set up enough tonight just to crank it over, luckily it did. Not worthy of pics since it looks like a rainbow spider web right now, but its a good feeling to see some life in it.

putting it back together for the final time. been doing a lot of little things like running lines and what not. Made the upper rad supports tonight and a block off plate so i could take off all the power steering and vacuum stuff.
