    Y’all gotta be more observant! I noticed right away when he was demonstrating the super lo gear! He even mentioned that he was going to use Uber-lo, let out the clutch, then walk beside his crawler as if he was working for NASA while they move the Saturn V to the pad on that mongo crawler.

    Don't need a lift for a fuel tank skid. Do the straps one at a time and then the skid bolts right on. And if you're already lifted you got plenty of clearance under there.

    I get hazed for having the fire extinguisher in the back... "are you a fire fighter..." but I carry two! Not gonna be the guy who starts the next big one. Also have one of my dad's old WSP first aid kits in the truck. Mostly tourniquets and such for large damage.

    I guess that is a good question. I'm not worried about doing it myself so much, other than getting the temp in range during the winter months. So the value to me would be time and disposal of the old fluid.
    Maybe I'll call around to a few dealers and see what the cost is.

    Agreed. I put one in my office at work and have already gotten some nice comments

    To that end I keep a basic first aid kit in the truck, although no tourniquets or blood clotting agents. As well as a few feminine products and a roll of toilet paper. I also get annual first aid/cpr training through work. So I am qualified to dial 911 :thumbsup:

    Yeah, but I'm old. The neighbor has a lift and I'd rather stand.

    Agreed. Note that most first aid kits do not have gloves. I would definitely become adding a couple of pairs of Nitrile gloves to any kit kept in the truck. Blood borne pathogens are a thing. If nothing else they can be handy during a trailside repair.

    Remember ladies and gents. If it's wet and sticky but not yours it's icky

    That first aid kit I got has one pair of nitrile gloves, size not specified. Ha! Good call though. I should toss a box of them behind the seat, just in case. You never know when you might have to deliver a baby on the side of the highway or top off differential oil on the trail!

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Not a bad thought. With a silver truck, I think I want the additional contrast. My grille is gray and it is too close in color.
