Blazer Bash 2020 last minute thrash

Good thing the roads were wet and cool this morning. Took all 40mph roads except one. It is a 4 lane, so I just turned on the flashers and did 40mph. I could feel it thumping. Tire guy said he tried to cut it at the edge of the release after deflating it. Took more effort than he thought it would.
 
It's fine, just Burt Monroe it and go!
 
Still have more to do. Trailer should be ready, gotta do a transmission service on the truck and hopefully get a new windshield installed then a little more work on the buggy.
 
Ok, this list is more for you guys to tell me what I'm forgetting then a to-do list.
Convert trailer to drive over fenders.
Pack wheel bearings on said trailer.
Pick up new truck in Canon City
Install camper on truck {might be sketchy as it's for a Toyota}
Outfit camper with uh.. camping stuff.
Load tools and extra parts.
And ??????

If you just drive the new rig there and sleep on the ground, you would almost be done.

I already ran thru all the bolts/nuts and changed engine oil and filter. I checked all the other fluids also. Have extra shafts with joints but still need to get some extra joints. No gots on the 44 shafts though.

I'm to big a fan of a comfortable night's sleep and not up for sharing a bed with the lizards/salamanders/whatever the hell they are.

They are dinner
 
Trying to find a tire shop that will mount my tires is becoming a problem. "for racing purpose only" is freaking everyone out. Tire irons might have to come out.
 
Edit for Eddie beating me to the punch



Isn't there someone that accepts dinero?

At least these big tires have side wall, theyre not that awful to do

I tried the $100 bill special trick and that made it worse. Kinda strange. They have been jamming shops up today for masks in the area, might have had a bad day?
