At the dealer

Quickly pulled the chrome wheel well trim off and cleaned it up some (took the stickers off after the picture)

Hell yes! I look forward to watching this progress!

I happen to have a spare set if morimoto 35w ballasts and 30" LED light bar in my room
May also have oracle led rings and tinted LED cab lights on their way (not sure I'll actually use the oracle rings)

Andddd I'm waiting to hear back about a set of power wagon flares on craigslist

As of June 1st we will have been dating for 5 years, she bought the truck off her dad on June 24th (~3 weeks after we "officially" started dating) if I remember right. Our first anniversary I bought her 2" leveling spacers and it's come a long way since.

Her and I both have engineering degrees from Penn State, unfortunately our jobs have us on opposite sides of the state (I'm lucky to have found a job and PA and not had to move to the Midwest)

Kinda crazy to think back on it, you've been around for most of the ride too haha

I'm eager to dive into it but I'm also going to try to be responsible and pay off student loans.
I already have a $5k parts list without really diving into the motor haha

I just drove back to New Holland, PA from my parents house outside of Pittsburgh
240.3 miles, I averaged 59.3 mph and 22.11 mpg (lie o meter said 19.2) with 265/70/17 cooper stt on factory chrome clad steel wheels. The dealership "checked" the tire pressures but the front are visually over inflated and the rear are under and I forgot to grab one of my gauge from her truck that'll read 60psi+

Haha yep, it has been a long time... I was asking as well, what are your guy's future plans together? Being that far away, and for that long, it's impressive.

Yea... that's a tough choice lol, the list adds up fast!

That's about right on fuel mileage... I don't know of a lie-o-meter that ever read low though, kinda wish mine did!

It's only been long distance for the past 8 or 9 months
Her degree is a lot more flexible as far as what she can do with it
She's hoping to get a job and move out this way but untill then she's building a resume basically

I know her overhead reads 18.5 pretty consistently but I've honestly never hand checked what she gets but she usually gets 550-600 miles to a tank
