    DOT 5 & Seals

    Dot 5 stored indoors since new. Not great follow-up photos but good enough for the girls we go with. This is the MC piston with the decayed rubber seal. There were a few black particles in the fluid but the rubber on the shiny, 10 year old, rear cylinders feels new. This truck had a lot of...

    Camping Safety in Trees

    Blow the man down My first camper was placed on this spot over a decade ago. It's just a juicy reminder to pick your camping locations with horse shoes shoved up the decision as far as possible. No humans were around to hear it fall but I'm guessing the camper screamed a little. This...

With the jeep engine set up and all the armor it weighed in around the 8000lb mark so a Bobcat trailer can...
