    I have some and actually used it when I rebuilt the blue sea.. it didn’t hold up and wasn’t a fan of how much dust collected on it. I think there’s a time and a place for it. Maybe plugs and quick connects are good with dielectric grease but not open terminals.

    That makes sense with a "sealed" connection.

    After giving the buggy a shower today thought I’d try something out. I saw a post online showing a guy washing his synthetic winch line in a bucket, thought that was a good idea and decided to give it a go. I wanted to use just water to be able to see any results.. Think the pics speak for themselves.

    Who says you have to wash your hands before holding a newborn? Pfft! Get him used to being dirty early- builds character. Congrats Chux.

    My hands are clean hahah. Thats just the years of working outside that don't wash off. But I agree. My family is on my case about washing my hands. And its a girl.. Luna Bo 4/2/18 8lbs 6ozs.

    @fatfurious2 Just touching base again with some throwback Thursday pics.

    Again trail was super fun, we chose a camp on a section of trail that was kinda tight about 3/4 the way up, not sure if there was anymore site further on trail. Next morning we continued up and found an epic site at the top big enough for several rigs.. A solo return trip about 7 months later I was stopped 1/2 way up by a new gate that wasn't there previously.. I assume it was to regulate the trail because of the forest fire that devastated the area. Made camp at the gate and headed down the next morning. Pics show the details somewhat. Just curious if the gate is open at this point. Send pics cuz I'm hoping the lands have replenished.

    Would love to stay at that second spot for sure. You have coordinates or Gpx files from the trip?
