    I liked it! Didnt smell it at all.... had to remind myself to scoot my seat up one click though. Gives me better foot response/accuracy. If your not ready for it in lowrange and slip off the clutch, its a bucking bronco lol

    Still had to winch myself up it, got in a shitty spot. Made some nice candy cane scratches on the driveshaft.... oh well cant get it every time. Fun obstacle. I think it was harder this year, lots of erosion.

    He keeps re-painting it when he takes it off to try to fit an LROR skid on there and fails.

    I am grasping at straws here but I wonder if it has anything to do with the altitude? I wonder if the tanks can expand at higher elevation. If so then heat would be a factor as well.
