    Yeah they like whenever its toasty out:p

    I take my pup with me places though, and having something i dont need to worry about really comes in handy. The seats in my red truck looked brand new when i bought it. Seat covers were the first mod!

    Good thinking, so you can swap out non OR model gas tank straps with OR ones and then the skid will bolt right up?

    Yes. I have a base model and it took 5 minutes to swap them out.

    You can also just crawl under with your skid and a paint marker, then drill and put some countersunk bolts from the top into your existing straps

    We may start brewing some small batch stuff in advance. The head brewer/ winemaker has some really good beers. His nitro stout is really good.

    I wouldn't mind. My phone sucks with those kind of sounds on a video. Next time I'm with my brother i'll ask him to take a video of it. When I had to get gas today several cars pulled in around me to get gas and when I started it up they all looked at the same time and were looking at the tips. Start up is amazing and also sounds really good when going 50+

    Also can tell a difference in the way it drives at 60+. More smooth
