    Did pretty well. Slowed down to 50 going over Lookout pass. Mostly stock 12V that has a built auto trans. I did some work to the fuel plate, and afc housing is all so far. The guy loaded the tractor too far back on the trailer. It would wiggle pretty bad downhill. Had to drag the trailer brakes several times to keep it straight. Needed moved forward a few feet.

    Finally got a chance to scrub the name off my straps. Here's some fun.

    I’ve dealt with drill bits before. The ones like that one on the back scare me when they don’t sit flat. Seems like no matter what you do, they always loosen up.

    I count 6. Look at the ratchets. Loads like these are always a blast and take forever to get secured right.

    Oh, well would you look at that. Yeah. That is pretty uncommon. Is it required for much larger tanks like that, or just for looks?

    It's an option. Anyone that had a strap break on an older pete, knows that it's a smart option. I added the extra straps on my 96 after having issues with my 88.

    Looking good is a bonus!!
