    My OCD was so crazy that I took the the cover off that knob just so I could place it back in straight. The tabs broke in the process, but it went in just fine

    I have an MT-09 Yamaha. Riding in the rain can be amazing.

    At one point, I looked out onto the dock area and rain was blowing horizontal through the building. Reports were that a building in downtown Neenah lost it's roof.

    Actually, maybe it was last Friday night, I sat in the garage and watched a storm roll in from the northwest. The lightning, the smell...damn I love that!

    I grew up out west. The smell of a storm coming on the wind is something I miss. Wet pinion, sage, earth... nothing like it. So much potential.

    truck is now tinted 50 in front 15 in back. 50 no problem seeing at night and 15 honestly no issue seeing out off especially backing up in dark areas. Wish I went darker

    One of the many pluses of having a kid is you don’t look/feel suspicious looking at the toy aisle finding cool stuff like this.

    I’m over by turn 4 staring at Sargento Bridge.
    Unfortunately my dang truck is at home and I’m stuck hanging out with a ZR2 boy

    Took a nice scenic drive today out to Platteville. It was particularly nice because I don’t see any leaks after the transfer case install (knock wood), and I got to function test 4hi and 4lo for a few miles on some river trails near Muscoda. It all checks out!

    Oh, and I got some stickers!

    Gonna be a busy week prepping, painting, and installing these, and my sliders before Tigerton.

    I strongly suggest POR 15 instead of paint, Spaz. My painted sliders didn't last 3 snowstorms. They were salt blasted to bare metal. I re-did 'em with POR 15 and so far so good....but it has only been one winter. 4x even recommends POR 15.

    EDIT: I just checked their site and it now states to use the coating of your choice. When I bought mine, they recommended the POR.

    Did you do anything special to prep the steel? Any primers before the POR? They mentioned POR to me today as well, or an epoxy
