    I got it. Apparently just an error. I reset the gopro and went to preferences and there is an option in there to format it. Did it that way and it worked in like 5 seconds.

    Thanks. It’s just me and 2 dogs so school district isn’t a concern really. I’m just planning on renting, don’t really want to keep buying houses and move every couple years. It’s really playing a dangerous game with the economy and losing my ass. I’ll definitely look into those areas though.

    Well the 4runner did just have a slow leak on that tire. So swapped back to the old ugly wheels that have good tires. Might just run these till I need tires and then buy tires to fit on the 17 inch wheels.

    So I’m looking for a student who won’t mind me forging his stuff for a rebate sent to me. Lol

    Also @Jerneyman what all do you have between your plasma and compressor; maybe a water separator or air regulator?

    Either something is leaking on that end boot. Or your rack seals are leaking into the boots

    I'm just going to order everything off rockauto. just bilstein and oem type replacement stuff.

    I'm actually not sure what it is. I figured the boot was torn and had grease in it? I don't know what's right there near it. @JBTacoma any ideas on that boot?

    Also, this is my first GoPro video I got today. Sorry for the extra camera noises I kept touching it to keep the screen on and see how things were doing, I'm learning lol. I did intentionally sort of "hobble" into the kitchen to make the camera bounce some to test out the hypersmooth technology and it seems to work phenomenally.

    He is a Miniature Australian Shepard, German Shepard, who knows what else mix. The mom was full blooded miniature aussie, and the dad was a German Shepard mix. We think Akita because the guy kept saying he knew he was mixed with some kind of fighting dog that isnt a pitbull but he didn't know the breed. Since leo has a sort of curly tail that turns back to his body like an Akita we think its that. It could be husky maybe? Hes growing faster than we thought he would. Mom was only about 25/30lbs and dad was probably 50/55lbs. Leo is already 25lbs at just under 4 months old..

    That boot just covers your inner tie rod, it does not have enough grease in it to leak like that. I would say that it is coming from your steering rack leaking or from an oil leak above it.

    On the GoPro you can adjust the screen to stay on while you are recording and stabilization on the GoPro is great. The videos I do on the trails stay stable while it records my truck bouncing around. Its crazy because the GoPro is attached to the truck and it appears like it is not.

    My GoPro is attached to the windshield in this video, it shows my truck bouncing and the surroundings are steady even though the camera is bouncing.

    I have no idea how to check the rack seals. I know it's not an oil leak, unless from an old one, because I dont currently leak oil lol. It definitely looks more like grease to me than oil, very similar to a torn CV boot.

    If it is not a oil leak it is power steering fluid leaking from the steering rack. The inner tie rod does not have a lot of grease in it and that boot looks to be good.
    A small leak will cover a big area.
