That looks awesome. Did you take 80 to Denver or 70? I bet your truck and you are glad you did the oil pump and new coolant before the trip and didn't have an issue in the middle of Kansas or Nebraska!

Yeah I was over Bob and Tom about 5 years ago. Really I came out to Denver for Mountain biking. My 2nd hobby is off roading. Of which I'm really a novice still. But I have all the protection on my rig so, I can make a few mistakes without too much pain.

I tried to leave the AC off. My temps ranged from 195-216. Got to 220 for a bit. I turned the heat up on the passengers side to high. Mostly stayed at 204-209 after I made that trick up. I drove straight through 22 hours at 65mph. That was with a 2.5 hour traffic jam at the IN & IL boarder cause a hay truck 18 wheeler caught on fire. I may drain my trans, but not in a hurry to mess with it at the moment. It was changed out about 1.5 years ago.

I took I70 all the way across. Just wish it would have stayed it 4th gear more. Any slight grade it wanted to jump out of overdrive.

Really? You got sick of them?
I guess I did too about 10? years ago, I switched to ManCow and then to Kevin Mathews but went back to Bob and Tom, been listening to them for 20 years total.

So is it a job out there or just mountain biking and living off of your trust fund?

Just kidding I do like Bob & Tom. I never get up early enough to listen to them. Their earlier years were better. I work in IT, my job just happened to transfer to Aurora. I'm living off my girlfriends trust fund...I wish. Also have my eBay bike business too, so it will be great!
I've been mountain biking twice so far and hope to go wheeling with Disco Mike within the next few weeks.
