    Do you remember how much atf I need after adding that cooler? Seeing as I have 200k almost I should probably change it lol

    The cooler that I got says it has a 10oz capacity. Add that with the amount tube used and it's about 1/2 of a quart.

    Here is a little clip of (IMO) the hardest obstacle on the Miller Jeep Trail. Thanks for the spotting and getting the video @inv3ctiv3 . I had to edit out the 20 seconds of me fighting with my seat belt :laugh:

    Got a few shots from this past weekend's run with @inv3ctiv3. MJT was fun for sure! Starts out pretty slow (even though I got caught up/stuck on my pumpkin skid on the very first uphill climb :anonymous:) but ends with a good amount of fun! I'm happy I was finally able to hit this trail. It's been on the list for a while!

    Not really sure what was chasing this deer(s) (if you know what this print is, let me know) but I don't think it ended well.

    Since it was just a day trip, I ask Escher if he wanted to stay home in the backyard or come on the trip. Judging by his smile, I think he made the right choice! :D

    I also found some time to finish up my aux can holder tonight. Finally 100% rid of the rotopax mount. I have to thank @at_olw for allowing me to steal his design. Simple, efficient, and straight to the point. Although, the forgery is never as good as the original. :D

    Strapped!

    This was surprisingly more of a PITA than I expected. There is not much room up there to make it all fit and not rub on anything!!

    Today must have been my lucky day.......

    Turns out both my front shocks decided to start puking on the same day! Never had any leaks up until I left work this afternoon....







    On top of that, some dude decided to reverse his truck into my front bumper while trying to get out of a parking spot. Broke his taillight, and creased his rear fender/bumper, but only put about a 3'' scratch in my freshly painted bumper :laugh: The kicker to that was the fact that I was at my drivers side door reaching into the truck when he hit me. Damn near scared the shit out me!!

    Oh and I almost forgot the best part!!!!!!! The dude had just walked out of State Farm Insurance after getting newly insured by them. The two agents came running out and had the funniest look on their faces!!!! CLASSIC!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Seriously, huh?!

    I'm still trying to figure out if I should just burn the truck down, or drive it off the end of the pier.....? :notsure:


    Maybe I'll just rebuild them though......

    The first one was a pain in the ass, trying to figure out where everything fit without getting in the way at full bump/lock. The second one went on in basically no time at all.

    Seems like I may have been a day late and a buck short though. :cookiemonster:
