Finished up the rack a while ago.. Then did a trip out to Yellowstone.
Haven't had the time to paint it yet, still have some more ideas for Hi-Lift mount, etc. Also - think I'm going to cut it down somewhat. Absolutely a palpable change in how the truck handles, definitely makes a drastic impact on MPGs with that tent up so high.

Made a day trip up to FS38, to the East of Deming, WA. Peaked out at around 3,500 feet - decided that it wasn't in our best interest to attempt to progress any further...
These 255s really transform into an awesome snow tire @ 5 PSI..
Added a remote quick- connect to my compressor yesterday, was getting tired of having to open the hood every time I air up. Used DOT air brake line; pretty skookum stuff! Works via compression fittings, which - are brass - and not necessarily cheap.. But, they seem like they'll hold up for quite some time. Total cost: $28.

Looking good Jake! I really like your compressor set up.

Figured I'd attempt the ZTFab "MIG like TIG"..
I'm new to MIG, just picked up a machine last month. I've only done 6013/7018, mostly through being an engineer on fishing boats.
Here's what about an hour in my shop got me; need to work on my consistency - and my biggest problem is getting a "death grip" on the gun halfway through the bead.
These are both pushing, about 3/8" stick out.
- 2 steps forward, one back into your puddle, pause. 2 steps forward, one step back into puddle, pause.. etc.
1/4 MS, ER70S-6, 75-25 @ 25 CFM. Gonna have to go out to my shop to get parameters..
