Build MNR 4600 class 2021 U4 Bronco

You got a slip fit muffler for driving around the neighborhood?
:laughing: I don’t. And the tail pipe is kinda mangled on the end because of rocks getting up in there. I don’t know if you’ve watched any of the videos of it but it is obnoxiously loud. Like a turbo’d swarm of bees.
 
I don't watch that **** with sound. :laughing:

It might improve your ability to diagnose **** if you can hear the suspension crashing into ****, **** rattling loose, transmission bearing telling you it's about to grenade, etc, etc if you could actually hear it.
 
The bus is nearly loaded. The first wave of the team is heading west on Wednesday.

Almost takes a panorama to take a picture of the whole 48 footer.
48' of deck or tongue included?

Wait, you're probably talking about the van trailer behind it :laughing:

How long is the deck on the goose? I've always wondered if 3 rigs would be possible with my 35' but it's probably not likely without some ****ery like driving up on the neck.

It’s a 40 foot of deck and 8 ft of goose. But it’s about 2 foot longer than that 48 foot box van behind it. I haven’t strapped it but they’re supposed to both be 48 ft overall. So seems odd that the GN is longer than the semi trailer. Those 3 barely fit with the fuel bbls. The two jeeps take up right about 14 ft each tip to tail. So that leaves 12 ft for the tracker and bbls.

Ford asked us to run a different grill. Gave us a box and asked if we’d run the Raptor grill. They don’t ask a lot of us so I said yes and we got it swapped on the lake bed. Pre running is almost done. Got a few things left to go double back on and see how things have progressed with traffic
 
so hows the transmission?
Oh yeah, I haven’t given an update. Transmission works good. Pretty impressed and pleased so far. I’m still getting used to it but the 4.7 first gear and torque converter makes staying in high range a lot easier. I’ve ran it around a bit and pre ran the qualifying course in it. I had the shift logic set pretty aggressive and I think it came out good. It pulls hard and shifts down to keep it in the rpm range where it makes power. If I let off the gas and coast it will shift up further than I’d like. But when I put a leg in it it’ll shift back down and get back after it.
