I made it here out to Ouray, Colorado. truck did fine in the moutains. With the trailer/Jeep combo taggin along it got 10.5 on the flat land and right at 10 flat in the moutains with the fan en-gauged. (That fan is so loud that you can't hear the turbo whine). The gross weight of truck and towed weight is somewhere around 18-19K so that is ok so far. I didn't get to do much of anything done as far as a air dam, skirts, or anything else as I was too busy installing my entry door and building steps and such.
I did tape up the holes in the front bumper with (chrome) duct tape.
I'll get to modding it in my home time when I get back.
I am going to experiment slightly on the way back. I'm gonna point the jeep the other way on the traler to see if there is a difference.
Anyway I just though I'd tell you all how it did. Now i'm gonne get to doing some jeepin on Black Bear Pass to telluride.
