Made a trash run. The scout was all comically leaned over Grinch sleigh style. 😆

Getting a nice bunch going. Any info on the semi? In pic 3 I thought you got the Tamiya F350 at first! I wouldnt mind an excursion with the new big block or 6.7. 😁

That semi is a UDI 1601 with a toy Matco truck cab and a homemade body on back. I was trying for a forced perspective pic with the Excursion, almost fooled ya 😆. I like the V10 in this one. It makes a fine sound when it shifts at 6K but it won't go over 100mph no matter how long I hold it on the floor. It's probably better that way.

V10s are nice, been 95 in a ford v10 camper floored. Also been in an f250 pulling 9 or 10k, 90+ mph didnt even notice. I love the feel and sound of a turbo diesel. I like a gas truck here and there too. I may turbo my 5.3? 😁

As for the 100mph, find a car computer guy, give it the police interceptor treatment. Take the mph and shift governors off.

I was in the industry but all my buddies only have software for GM garbage. It's got an unknown (to me) pro tune on it but it weighs over well over 8K pounds with the tires. It's probably like trying to push a small shed to go over 100 lol. It will probably pull my little 19ft trailer at the same speed but that seems like one of my classic bad ideas. You have to admit tho,it would be a glorious crash 😆.The real problem with the truck right now is that it despises regular gas. Paid $5.05 a gallon for high test at 7.4mpg yesterday.... Yow!
Love it. You should hook a wagon to the Barbie RV.
I'm going to Home Depot today to get some supplies to fab one up. I'll hit up some yard sales and flea markets also to see if I get anything cool to make a trailer out of. Finding a beat up radio flyer wagon to hack up would be ideal.

Finally got some new front shocks for the camper. I destroyed a front one last year but just bashed the shock shaft back to "straight" and kept running it. These are ZD racing shocks at about $35 a pair. Nice stuff for short $$$ IMHO.

Is that safe? That van has been in one fire already!
I've got a video tearing up the wood pile but I have no idea how to post it or if I'm even allowed.
 
I made a hillbilly trailer for the campground out of an old pallet, some well used Typhon tires and junk I had lying around. I made a trash run and a grocery run out to the wife's car. It works surprisingly well but probably won't last long.

Picked up an empty ash can to bring back to the campsite. The axles might be a little overloaded lol.
