Thursday was the last day that John & Andy could work on their trucks before setting off for the Bloomsburg show.
As this is John's full time job, John can work the hours he wants. John tends to work at the shop in the afternoons, until late in the evening. In the morning, his phone never seems to stop ringing, so spends most of the time discussing business with promoters & other Monster Truck drivers.

"It's just a temporary fix. We'll see how it works this weekend. If it works good, they'll make real good mounts, if it doesn't we'll just have to design something different"

I got to get my hands dirty when I changed the oil on the truck. With an engine that runs on alcohol, you have to change the oil on a regular basis.
John put nitrogen in the shock absorbers, & checked the truck over, making sure bolts, straps are all on tight. The last thing to do before loading the truck in the trailer was to give it a wash. Luckily for John & Andy, there is a gas station next door, which has a power wash.
