    Europenne Mounts. Kind of Like you did normally aren't that expensive. At least not down here they aren't. Somewhere between $175.00 to $250.00 depending what you want done. Full mounts are getting pretty pricy all over and if the Taxidermist is a Quality Taxidermist you could be waiting a while to get you mount back.

    I picked up a metal pedestal off Amazon for it and looks pretty good.
    I had wrapped the antlers heavy with foil above ground and put a large flower pot over them to keep the rodents away.
    Put some large rocks over it as well to prevent some other critter from digging it up. :rofl:

    Evening CT.
    Got the camera wiring run through the firewall on lunch. Tomorrow on lunch I need to send the temp sensor wires back through the firewall and start with the compressor harness.

    I was going to do some stuff after work but it was too hot and humid today and I had a bad headache so I took a nap after getting home.

    Good morning.

    Got the compressor harness ready to put in the truck so I can cut the wires to the correct length. I'm using the original ARB connector and not a weatherproof one (couldn't get a good crimp).

    Ran into an issue on the way to work today. About to get off the exit and developed a bad vibration, step on the brakes to slow down, vibration got worse. Looking at it on lunch.

    I checked wheel torque and went to park it. Check engine light and TRAC Off lights came on.

    It's possible but I don't know why it waited. I knew the caliper was bad.

    Cleared the codes during lunch. Check all wires going to rear axle, those are good.

    I'll see what each code has in common. The lights stayed off during the ride home. Did get some shimmy from the brakes but I did not drive on the highway.

    Think I'll use my new Autel scan tool and diagnose the codes that I had. I'll have to see if I can use it to do an automatic EVAP test.
    Should be able to, does a lot of other stuff.

    We will see if the lights come back on during the commute tomorrow.
