    I can never get warm in the winter, 20 sweaters & I'm still cold. 100F is just getting comfortable.

    "I'm loving it!"

    Happy 4th & thanks to all who were able to provide the service to keep us free.

    Morning everyone. Happy hump day and happy 4th.

    Hot as hell down here in OBX. Been at the beach for the past 2 days. Taking a break today and going to the aquarium.

    Stay cool and safe up there.

    Aquarium trip was a great time. The dinosaur exhibit was cool. The kids all had a great time. Stopped at a souvenir shop on the way to dinner. My niece and nephew (14 and 9) got hermit crabs, so obviously my son wanted one too. The wife wasn't thrilled, but I let him get one. He affectionately named it Twirly because of his shell. LOL. He won't leave it alone for one minute. Should be interesting taking it home and seeing how long it'll survive.

    Looks real good! How do you like the brake upgrades? I thought about looking into a better setup for brakes.

    I like them. I thought it might've been a seized caliper on my OEM set because they had seen better days and I was a little concerned sometimes while braking hard, but after the swap braking still isn't what I wish it was lol. I guess it's expected with all the weight and then even bigger tires. Fortunately it'll definitely lock them up.

    Best brakes I ever had were EBC stage 5 kit, stopped outrageously well on stock calipers but the pads last less than 20,000mi. I might give another EBC kit a try next to see if I can’t get more life out of the pads.

    @santas212 hey just a heads up I will not be doing the dual battery system. I am going a different route. I will be using a second battery, not at the moment but I decided to power it with either a trickle charger or solar. I definitely appreciate your enthusiasm in helping me so if u need a hand let me know. Thanks!

    Lol me too. I'm just glad I can make one look great.

    Edit: since I've been itching to wheel since the lift does anyone know of any decent trails around Salem, CT? Or even some southeastern part of the state?
