Well, I got the new power slot rotors and wagner thermoquiet brakes on the truck this weekend. Went pretty quick, I don't know how but I didn't even have a single stuck rotor. I only took about 2 hours, the toughest part of the whole process was breaking the lug nuts loose after they were put on with an impact. And since I don't have my new compressor up and running, the impact was not an option.

Well I have been working on this cooker and trailer for the last 2 1/2 years and it is finally ready to be used as intended. I have the first cook on it from the weekend but I didn't have the camera around for pics of the "Q". I have to cook for 75 people this Thursday so I will get some "Q" view then.

Here I am setting the tank on the trailer.

Gotta have a victory beer!




Here is a video showing the special lighting that the complicated wiring harness I made accomplished. A few of you may pick up on the changes.

how does one know that tundra wasn't under the sheets at Ford? I imagine this version has been in development for quite some time.

I didn't know there was a new body design coming out. Had to google an image of it. I can see the some similarities to a Tundra - but it's still pretty cool looking I think.

Really like the interior, the FX4 and platinum look pretty good on the exterior. Some of the lariat and XLT pics look pretty ugly. Definitely some similarities to the Tundra. The new 2.7 ecoboost is interesting, and no more 6.2L!

I think the front looks closer to a Battlestar Cylon than a Tundra
