    ARE Shell. Pelfreybilt front bumper. hi-clearance rear bumper w/swing out. Rigid light bar/fog lights/reverse lights. Pelfreybilt front skid. Home/hand made slidders. DR front coilovers. Camburg UCA. AllPro Expedition leaf pack w/u-bolt flip and Timbren bump stops. 285 70-17 on stock rims with Spider Trax wheel spacers. EBC slotted/drilled rotors with green pads.
    The caps do not breathe. They just hold everything in. Stupid California shit. The C.A.R.B. gas spouts suck balls too. Spills more gas then the good old straight/flexable gas spout. I have to keep it C.A.R.B. legal because I go into California too often. I guess according to rotopax website, "PLEASE REMEMBER TO VENT THE FUEL PACK ONCE PER DAY IF THE ELEVATION OR TEMPERATURE CHANGES SIGNIFICANTLY." So I guess you just have to keep stopping going up the mountain or into the desert to burp your rotopax, which sprays gas at you when you do that. Dumb.

    I have the gas cans that you can get at China Freight, which I believe have the same type of poor spout mechanism, just the shape of the can is different, I believe?

    But, yeah, mine don't "breathe" as well. I have to constantly keep an eye on them or they bloat pretty bad in the heat.

    LOL!!! My blue plastic "water" can says "Kerosene" on the side. I don't give a rats a$$ though because I can easily associate "blue" with water and "red" for gas/fuel and that is why I bought it. I bought that one at Walmart.

    EDIT:
    Cost me around $10 or something like that, I don't honestly remember? I do KNOW it didn't cost me no $58 bones AND my "water can" is 5gal!!! :thumbsup: FAT BOY ME could take a good shower with it out in the desert if I wanted to!!! :thumbsup::fistbump: LOL!!! :D:p:laughing::laugh::rofl:

    Super fun time today. Wasn't able to air down because I didn't have a compressor which made me a little more careful but still had a blast. Did a bunch of offshoots in Holy Jim as well. One of them almost got the best of me.

    IMG_2614.jpg

    Finally testing out my OME suspension since I installed it. Really impressed with it. Glad I did it. Not that good of a flex pic though.

    Some fun rock terrain.

    IMG_2611.jpg

    Here is the offshoot I got into trouble on. I went too far left on the way down and fully tucked my left tire while the right was barely on the ground. Had to have my buddy get out and spot me. Wish he would have gotten a pic because he said my back right tire was totally off the ground on the way down. About 1in of clearance from the bottom of the frame on my drivers side as well. Close call. Good to see what my truck can do though. It's somewhat capable which gets me excited. The tire's were amazing as well.

    My LBJ's are leaking grease but the guys at my shop said they're totally fine. Not sure what the deal is? Everything feels fine when wheeling.


    Today made me want to get the parts for a 4x4 conversion so bad. Lol

    haha mine are doing the same, when dropped out the boots push grease out. My drivers side is getting awfully dry lately. When its hot it makes the worst noise when turning at low speeds.
