    probably.
    honestly, the whole thing is kind of a janky setup. Notice how they broke off the handle on the other valve so they could turn it on?

    and @Skywalker was right. that backflow preventer is probably older than you :eek:

    It won't surprise me if bob gets everything back together only to find the bf leaking. There's evidence of it leaking already all over the thing.

    Well there are also a couple of leaking zone valves too. Might be time to do some updating. Also there is another set of zones in the timer and a wire that we still need to trace to fine the valve box. I fear it's buried under a ton of rock by the front door.

    Not really,I'm just a little jealous of the automatic sprinkler systems.
    Too lazy to put one in.

    ... Some pictures of what happens when you use your truck like a truck and put a topper on it.

    I installed the topper the day after i got the truck. It's never really had weight on it until recently other than the topper. Now it has maxtrax as well as a bit of recovery stuff in the box up top. Although i relocated some of that weight today.

    I think I'd ditch the Maxtracks if they are causing that kind of damage. :burp:

    Easiest way to get rid of that is to ditch your tailgate. That's what I did. No more gap.
