    FINALLY got to go camping!!! Life has been busy and weather in MN has been crap all year so far but we got out for our first night camping this year. Its depressing to think I already had about 20 nights camping by this time last year.

    2/10. Removal takes about 5 minutes and 3 of those minutes are getting a drill/flashlight. Link to the video I used below.

    It’s really easy to replace but I didn’t replace mine, just cleaned some debris from the fan.

    I have a lot of the 24v Kobalt tools and I love them. I have never had any issues with them. I do like that they make a 4 battery charging stand. Makes my life easier then having a bunch od single chargers everywhere of forgetting to switch battery's out.

    As a matter of fact I looked online at a few Kobalt tools. Got my eye on the cordless drill and trimmer that both appear to use the 24v 4.0AH battery. I've had a Kobalt hedge trimmer for almost 6 years - like you no issues with it. The battery seems not to have deetiolated at all.

    I didn't realize they made a multi-battery charging stand. I'm going to check into them some more.

    Shopped around for grilles, I’m thinking of getting a mesh one with raptor lights but I’m open to having my mind changed. Also aced my interview at Tire Kingdom so I’ll be starting in late June. Now comes the hard part of letting my coworkers and manager know I will be leaving, telling the students is gonna be the hardest part I think though.

    Truck rides amazing, it's on Feal coilovers and Viking shocks in the back, LA isn't ideal for lowered cars but this is a toy so I don't mind, if it was daily I wouldn't lower it.

    Used the same video. Worked out great except........I did NOT put that second wire clip back in...it'll be fine :) . What a pain in the ass to get out, or to even see it to figure out how to get it out.
