Almost zero difference on my 75 f100 on 35s with a 390. Driving conditions make a massive difference, and speed. I don't stand a chance in western Washington, too many big hills.
What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

That's what I'd like to do. I'm going to sell my soft-shell and use a ground tent until I can find an affordable hard-shell.

Definitely hard to get decent gas mileage in hilly country. Only reason I get decent mileage now is the speed limit on most NM two lane roads is 55 mph.(enforced heavily). I went to Texas awhile back and their two lane roads were 75 mph, even with heavy oil field truck traffic. Scary...

Under 50 is definitely better especially in Jeeps.

This weekend I installed Magnaflow Loop Delete Y-Pipes, and ARB Skid Plate Set.
Church and time with friends today.
Sadly no adventures this weekend, yet again.

Definitely worth it with the quicker set up and take down. Now affordable will be a relative term haha. I’d assume you’re going to spend at least 2k. But so worth it

Drop me a line if you do. Beer is on me! That goes for any member who comes through Lubbock. Great beer, the restaurant next door is the best in the city (same owner, uber upscale Americana) and coffee all in one hotel lobby.Darn !! I may have to make a stop in Lubbock one day.

When I was growing up it seems I remember Lubbock as being a dry county. I enjoyed may trips there to watch championship football games between Lubbock and Odessa Broncos in early 50's.

County wasnt dry when I moved here in 2009. There was an area called "The Strip" that looked like Reno off the freeway just outside the city limits. City was but the same month I moved here the citiznes passed new liquor laws that matched state standards. Liquor in private stores only M-Sat 9A-9P. Beer and wine in groceries and liquor stores 6A-12A M-Sat. 12P-12A Sunday only. There are now three breweries in town, one in county and one distillery in county. Taxation has boomed lots of projects.

I made a little tailgate table today. This will come in handy!

Looks like boom town now, similar to Odessa.
I'll bet rents are sky high too.

Will do.

Pilot training at Reese AFB back in ‘88. You could see ”The Strip” from quite a way out. Too bad the base was closed, what a great place for pilot training with Texas Tech...um, I mean Lubbock next door.

Seems to be leveling out. Housing was a huge issue as there was nothing available. Local builder just finished house #10,000. APartments are changing peoples perpective here too. Hospitals and the university are driving new populations. Just at 310k for the county, 270k for the city.

Yes, we do not drive slow.
