And I'm jealous of your truck having a actual throttle cable.. Not drive by wire.

Well, after 40 mph creep between Laramie and Rawlins do to wind gusts. Back up to speed all the way to Idaho.

In VA, anything 30+ over the speed limit is intent to kill, and I believe it's a fine, points on your record, and possibly even 30 days in jail, I can't remember

Yesterday I put balancing beads in the tires and torque the wheels down. Surprising how much faster it goes when you fully read the instructions for the beads.

 

Just got back from Harbor Freight and now my tailgate doesn't want to open. Worked 2 miles ago putting the fan into the back. Off to youtube I go!

Zip tie tech tip of the day. 2 zip ties works for a temporary fix until replacement clip(s) come in. Good thing because It'll make loading and unloading the bed at the range tomorrow morning easier.

Yeah I've got several friends that got pinched in VA, and had to go all the way back down for a court appearance. It's well known up here not to speed through that state, or anywhere on 95 if I'm honest. It'll cost ya!

 

Everything up here is a gray area. Cops pretty much do what they want. He easily could've towed me and made my life miserable, and wrote the ticket as a criminal offense. Had I been 16 years old, that would've happened, no question about it. They're tough on kids up here. I've got a 2 page record from my teens and early 20's - used to get 4-5 tickets every year back then. I've been around long enough to know how the game is played - treat them with respect, don't lie, and everything will be ok ... aside from your bank account ... so long as you weren't weaving all over like a jackass, tailgating, cutting people off, and endangering everyone around you. These days when everyone is doing 80, 100 isn't passing them all that fast anymore.

 

The $350 ticket isn't the worst of it. It's the 6-year surcharge on your insurance that'll hurt ya. This ticket will cost me around $2,500 when all is said and done.

Why bother with a new clip, it should have been done with zip ties to begin with.

Lol. Its only $7 for both clips. Apparently those thing breaking is pretty common but I can't remember any of our tailgates breaking before. I guess the ties being out of the sun would last a decent amount of time too.
