    Brake line is #custom haha.

    Chopped exhaust causes ice build up.

    Thanks for the warning. That is my usual haunt, obviously. Some folks that have picked up some 110 units have found the name brands for a great price.

    Ha! You wouldn't believe how tight my garage is. My open spot is occupied by the Battery Tender. Hahaha!

    My ST is hiding in front of the Taco.

    I keep dropping hints of a house like this next time:

    She's not all in just yet.

    Didn’t think of that. How cold was it? I live where that won’t happen, but I didn’t see it on mine while in NM cold this winter either.

    So axle dumps increase rear traction in winter, that’s good! :)

    That is why I wanted a spare stock one, just in case.

    We generally don't get weather like that here. I barely had clunkers during our 'record' snows a couple weeks back.

    Learned this lesson on my 1st gen. With exhaust heat comes condensation, that shit freezes in layers in the cold. Plan to just route mine behind the bumper with a turn down. Dumped exhaust with performance mufflers drone to no end.

    I use HF for alot of different tools, and I generally dont have a problem with them.

    However the HF exhaust pipe expander is indeed junk... Some HF tools are single use, but that one is 0.0001 use... (I really dont know what it is designed to do, but expand a steel exhast pipe isnt one of them)

    I am confused by the good reviews.

    Axle dump done:
    [​IMG]

    Not a mandrel bend, but I can live with it.

    The sound of exhaust rushing out at higher RPMs is about half of what it was with my shitty version.
