Checked air inlet tube; appears good. Held water without dripping any out the length of the tube. The way it bogs down and then catches up has me thinking injectors again.

@SecretSquirrel found out what it was like to change a blown out tire on the side of the freeway in 100° heat this past weekend.

F that I would have used my free tow from insurance company and had it towed to discount or nearest shade tree, I've seen too many wrecks
Originally did, but there was a little used on ramp 100yds up the road. Backed down that and changed it out...

Tire was wasted. Whatever bit me tore belts out when it came out.

Good to hear that.

I had a flat in my Honda near gunspoint on I45 drove that bitch on the rim almost 2 miles, Discount covered the tire and rim under the hazard warranty

My wife was in her old Infiniti about a year ago in rush hour going over I35 on Toll 45... total mad house. Traffic on 45 was moving fast (75 or so) and a truck in front of her swerved to miss a small log (6-8" in diameter about 2' long) she hits its... it wedges under the car but somehow she managed to get to the side of the rode. She calls me (I'm about 10 minute away).. I throw a floor jack in the truck and some random tools, prybars, etc. I get there and traffic is flying by!.. Thanks for getting over assholes. Anyhow.. I get to her car and the thing is just under the front and not done any damage. So I just back up 5 feet.. presto.. its out! Got lucky. Hard part was finding an opening to get back into the flow of traffic.

Getting a new Toyo R/T mounted on the new spare rim I got. This way I'll have a full size spare with a properly backspaced rim.

Worked until 3AM getting a bunch done. Installed my rear fender liners and fenders. Realigned my rear bumper after the weight of the new spare tire, tire gate, and hi lift probably made it move.

Wired up the LED lights that @SecretSquirrel had attached to the RTT rack. One of my favorite mods now! Pretty awesome being able to see everything in the bed in the dead of night. Also, cleaned off my LED rock light strips and re-glued any areas coming off.

Re-soldered my Temp gauge and compass in the overhead console. Thanks to @SecretSquirrel for showing me how to do that along time ago.

Cleaned up the garage and organized my tools. Took out my back seats so I can have more storage space in the interior of the truck.

Did a bunch of other stuff that I don’t remember right now.

Sounds like you got a lot done on the truck. It should be ready to roll out now.
I'm so close lol I have to install my skids today and wire up the compressor. The mount for my dual air compressor comes in tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to plug and play after I get the mount in. I also have to reconnect my winch and install my new fog light that the guy broke.

What mount did you get? Did you get the ARB dual compressor or two Viair units?
