CT Does California...The MCR6 Adventure!

[CTENG in KS]

The loading is complete.  Just add duffel bag and cooler and I am ready to HAUL!

Anyone see any issues with my loading, trailer, etc?  I will do last minute air pressure check, etc before I leave and I can make adjustments at the truck stop in OK City if need be.  Will take it slow at the beginning...this is my first time.   

Look where I mounted the high lift...very convenient.  The Simp Can also fit quite nice.  It is a combo spill/poo kit.

    sweet    now u just need 2 pick up some traveling

[Lady Di]

you are so going to get in that rig! that is sweet.

[Willy Mammoth]

But are you ready?

[Lady Di]

Hell.. you got enough room on the back of the beastmaster you should haul the Swedish Bikini Team up there

[CTENG in KS]

Do you know where they live?

[CTENG in KS]

I got 32 gallons into it before the gas pump hit $100...I felt bad and stopped then.  I will get more in OK City.

just remember the more you pump the worse mileage you get

[Lady Di]

at least gas is much cheaper then diesel. Bonus for him

looks good. now, go grind up some rocks!

and help mwm get plenty of good pics!

[Tool Pimp]

Looks good FYI if that trailer starts walking on you try recentering your truck, you may need to get a longer drop hitch to bring the tongue down.  Be safe out there 

[Rocksurfer]

Looks good from here but you may be a tad tongue heavy.

It it had about a foot more room he wouldn't need a trailer, food for thought down the road add a little more to the back of the bed and it would ride real nice up there.

Lookie what we found at the OK City FLying J.
He's having a bit of a problem, said he was losing power and it seems the gas line to the big tank sprung a leak.
He's behind us somewhere... we're making our way to the Amarillo KOA about 4 hours away. Mark and CT will work on it then I guess.

[Lady Di]

I'm sure you'll get a full report as soon as we get to the KOA.
He and Mark are going to have to figure out what's wrong and go to a parts store in the morning.

[Duffil]

from what I gather, the main tank works, but not the aux? keep on  and keep it 

[93tonkatoy]

If the beastmaster is gonna have a chance, it better keep up. I think the LBC is playing "hard to get".

[Duffil]

  yup, he likes 'em BIG

OK, here is the run down.  The Beast is running good, the trailer is a little tongue heavy, but not too bad.  Only issue is a little bouncing of the end of the truck.  Rear of the Beast is so heavy the trailer really can't push it around much.  Tracking nice and str8.  The LBC is a bit faster, they keep getting ahead of me...by about oh...20 MILES!   

My aux tank is not getting fuel to the engine too well so I am only running off the primary which is only bout 18 gal. This is making me make frequent stops at every other gas station.;  Mark is not so happy with the time lost at the gas station.  We are gonna try and fix this tomorrow morning.

[Duffil]

bad lines up there or a bad tank switching valve? have you had a chance to screw with it today?

[79coyotefrg]

can you put a electric pump back there to PUSH the fuel  forward??  or  at least  turn it on to pump into the primary tank when it starts  getting lower

[CTENG in KS]

Glenn, we have a plan for the morning...gonna replace the aux tank fuel filter and hoses, see if that helps.

[CTENG in KS]

No we take a brake for bunnies.
