I’m glad he rebuilt the front end. I bet it drove much better.

It survived another trip. We had a pretty good time. There was a little trouble with one of the first hills, and the very last rock climb. I blame that last one on the sudden cloudburst that came in. Caleb made it up ok in his Gladiator, but then the skies burst open right when I was lining up for my attempt. He ended up having to winch me up the last few feet in the pouring rain.

Vira has all the photos. I'm sure she'll get a few up at some point.

This is the only good one I have on my phone. I had it on the dash watching fluid temps via Torque the rest of the time.

I liked the orange one for its color more, but this one is bad ass.

Is this really the first time I've posted a pic with the plate? :lol: We've had it since he beginning.

BTW, it rolled over to 199,000 miles when we got home. I'm looking forward to hitting 200.

It average 10-11 in town. It's already a reality.

I need to flash it back to stock. I have no idea what tune the last owner put on it. If it's a power tune, it's not working. If it's a fuel economy tune, it's definitely not working.

I'm hoping the stock tune might be a little better on gas.

Okay, made a FB post to share the photos, but then realized that doesn't let me link to the videos.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?
