Got some more work done on the truck today. Powerstop brakes up front and new unit bearings. The rear brakes are manufactured incorrectly so I'll be sending them back and using the stock stuff for now. Also a 2" block out back to level things up which turned out great! I've been digging out camping gear to start prepping this week for the big trip. I really like this kelty chair and the GF is in love. We currently have the tent folded out in our apartment complex to get some air.

So the cheap lift blocks didn't work out. Who knew a 10k lb truck with 900ft/lb of tourqe wouldn't like a cheap spacer lol. I was cutting corners for time sake to keep the truck on the road for this big trip coming and it bit me in the ***. After a hard launch from a red light and a couple hard shifts the blocks crushed which rotated the axle up and broke my 800$ aluminum driveshaft

Luckily nothing else was damaged other than the water in fuel sensor. I was able to use some stuff I had laying around including the factory 2 piece shaft to get the truck back on the road. Were leaving on the 23rd and im in ND working until the 21st. Time is short to say the least. I did however get the better part of my stuff packed and I was able to test my shower setup.

And here's about half of the stuff packed up. There is another action packer and a pile of stuff to strap down still. I'm notorious for packing heavy but luck favors the prepared, good thing I got a dually.

Details on the shower setup for those who are interested.

This tank actually has a sureflow pump which I was surprised about

I'm impressed how hot the water actually gets, with the sureflow pump there is more water pressure than I have at home.

And one of the only tents I could find with a floor, ill probably upgrade to something a little bigger inside some day but this will do the trick.

I plan on building a camp trailer in the future that I will transfer all this stuff to. I don't like packing up every day because the tent is attached to the truck.
