    @Casper66 would love to check out the setup, homebrewer here, but my buddy is the owner of Forge Brew Works in Springfield and just moved his location out to Warrenton.
    @BassAckwards Okoles you say....but I'm not sure I want SwampBassAckwards seat covers o_O
    definitely one of the many purchases I need to go after, but it's looking like my new Taco's deer tackling skills may pan out for the best thanks to the fine members of TW, so now I get to look at mods and other fun stuff!

    I would love to get an arb bumper but the east coast weather deters me from pulling the trigger on one.

    I too tried the Chris Fix method with the same results as you! That was on my 1st gen...should have run them over as well.
    Or maybe we should have found Chris Fix...

    Sage advice! I rode home from Sturgis (1800 miles) a few years back and ran through a locust/grasshopper storm in Iowa. The bugs were so thick the paint color was “rainbow.” I found the dryer sheet idea on line. Worked incredibly well, didn’t leave a scratch and worked without getting tennis elbow. The beers before and after did seem to make the job bearable!

    That’s why grocery store pizzas have warnings to not cook in the plastic wrapper. Someone has attempted this “time saving” action and brought litigation in response.

    I think it was my fault, but again I took my sweet ass time, tried two different paints and cleaned them super well.
