Chandler's Battleship of Doom

I mean April is Friday soooooooooo.......

 

Needed to run to the bike shop so I stopped by the range for a few and drove down Charolette Creek road again. Also used a spare roof rack bar with a bike mount to use in the bed for the bike

 

Any more info or thread link on this fluid change method?

Basically what I wrote down with the pictures. In short: disconnect both lines the lead to the cooler, connect a 3/8 tube where the bottom line was down to a bucket to measure, turn truck on and the your drain line will start to fill up your bucket, let it drain about 2qts and turn truck off, now fill your sprayer with the amount you took out, use a 3/8 tube from the tip of the sprayer (may have to modify tip to allow faster flow) and connect the tube to where the upper line was disconnected, start pumping the new fluid in, now continue to drain and fill until your happy with the fluid color draining out, on your last fill add 1/2 or more extra fluid, Re connect your transmission cooler so its back to normal, Now its time to do the transmission temp check, after doing the check and the transmission is at 113deg (IIRC), while the truck is still idling undo the 5mm allen overfill plug on the transmission pan, you should have some extra come out, let it come to a drip and reinstall plug andddd done.

If you did not have fluid come out you'll need to turn off the truck, re connect your sprayer and add some more fluid in (I added 1qt each time) put the transmission cooler hose back in place and re do the temp check and check the overfill plug, hopefully at this point your done otherwise keep doing it until you have fluid come out of the overfill.

I cheated and did not the actual transmission temp test, rather used a scanguage to read the temp. Im not saying this is the right way to do things but I felt comfortable doing it this way.

 

So I'm going through some pictures for some stickers I'm getting made, Had to have a replacement/change of the YAAAS sticker. But I came across some pictures when I first put 35s on, man I loved the look

 

So my good friend owns stickerplug, So I told him I wanted #mallsohard that way I can taunt people

Stand still whipper snapper!

 

Easier said than done. I had YouTube do the video stabilization so it'll apply that eventually.

 

Haha all good, doesn't give the hill justice. Shit as steep as fuck, your forced 2-3 inches away from a wall, and all wet mud and yes I made @Sacrifice go first

 

That it was. Shitty thing is would have been scraping and no way but down at that point

 

That wall would have done some serious damage with the roots and rocks sticking out, and like you said no way out but going down

 

It was fun though. I want to go back and camp too

 

Same, ideally when it's not raining

 

Specifically when it's not raining...

 

it was a slight sprinkle, nothing too bad.

80* would be perfect. maybe end of june timing we can set something up?

 

Exactly, I don't really mind the rain but when I'm able to make the choice between a weekend the will rain and one that won't, well I'll just stick to staying dry

End of June might work, I have my 2 weeks of annual training in June but seeing as I get out in July I may be able to skip out
