I ordered a Midland 75-822 on Amazon's Prime Day, and it arrived today. I also got the Wilson Lil Will magnetic antenna. I haven't used a CB since it was a big thing in the '70s. Sorta the equivalent to social media today.
Well yesterday ScubaSteve2002 meet up with me and tuned up my CB antenna. Thanks SCUBASTEVE!!

As part of my prep for OTG (my first event of this kind, Yeah), I placed my member ID on the front windshield and tailgate. Hopefully, it will make CB communication more efficient.

Packed and ready to roll in the morning.
Got me a Trasharoo bag for my Yota pickup today. Along with A license plate mount. I've been asked if PD has pulled me over cuz my bumper & Hi-Lift had pretty much blocked my plate. So after about a year, decided to move the plate to prevent a "fix it" ticket. (Instagram: flips91yota)
Today I did ball joints. Found kick ass gas can for my rack. And welded up some pushbar mounts!!!!
And burnt out some bushings on a set of leafs so I can pop some new ones in and do a leaf swap next weekend.! Almost time to start the bed camper platform build!
I am writing this from Riverside RV Park near Estes Park, Colorado, wedding at 1700 today, and the whole family is out dual rigging it until Sunday night when we had home quick turn around only 300+ miles round trip. Oh and the Stanley Hotel is freaking amazing.

Installed my OB Emblem this morning!
It took me two months to decide where to put it.

Finally decided to take on the exhaust leak that's been haunting me for months. I'd replaced all the downstream gaskets and finally resigned myself to the fact that it was the manifold gaskets. They are only 156,000 miles old but with the supercharger they get an extra workout.
I thought I would have to remove the blower but it turns out I could sneak under it and get the job done - big win because that's a pain.
It was pretty warm and the sun was right on me in the hottest part of the day so I had to get creative with an old umbrella.
Cleaned up and ready to go back together.
The only problem I had was I should have planned to replace the exhaust studs, but I had done those about 3 months ago, but they wouldn't tighten so I'm going back in to do that, I should be able to do that from underneath.
Glad to have that big job done. [emoji28]

I'm about to have to do this too, I had my head redone last summer, and I let the shop replace it. Since then I've developed a significant exhaust leak, Im PRETTY sure its the Y-pipes, but I'm prepared to do them all. Im tired of the sound. :(
