When you pull the drain plug from under the tranny and leave it for about twenty minutes to drain, about between four and four and a half quarts comes out before it stops draining. The tranny holds almost 12. About a third of the fluid stays in the pan, yes, but the nearly 8 other quarts is...

Mine was already tapped.

Ahhh, too bad. I'd love to buy that bumper off it.

Hey I don't know if you saw it or not but I responded to your PM.

Phenomenal! That looks so cool and so utilitarian. I love the form follows function approach. Well done.

Second tranny fluid swap happened tonight. Haven't had a chance to test drive it yet though, as I had other things to do at home. Old fluid came out a lot cleaner than the first round. Feeling good about doing this.

Hey Monte, where ya moving to? Also, your summer work plans still the same?

Another small technical update! I've started a "drain-and-replace" regimen for my transmission. It's long overdue for new fluid, and I wanted to avoid a machine flush at all costs due to some of the horror stories I've read about resulting from them. So I've opted to drain the old fluid and...

Yeah the reviews I was reading from others didn't have me very impressed. Some people love them, but dig a little deeper and you see some issues. Too bad, because they almost had my money! I looked at the Hawk pads, but I was slightly put off by the price. I've heard lots of good things though...

Small technical update: I recently installed new front brakes. Fed up with my slightly wobbly rotors and crappy pads, so I got some new stuff for the front. My original plan was to go with EBC rotors and pads for the front, but after a lot of reading online, I opted against it. See, EBC Green...

Interesting! Great to know.

Doc, you have such a cool build! I'm pretty jealous of that Flippac. That Fiamma awning is great how you can just set it up without anchoring it to the ground. Hell, the whole build is mobile. Set up and don't like your campsite? No problem, just drive it down the road a bit! :D I love that...

Nice! Love the XD. I have a friend who has one and I like it a lot.

Looks killer on the 285s. I dig it.

Yeah I'll be interested to see if it makes a difference for me. I'll let you know. That's a great point. I've never actually done that. I need to.

Forgot to update this recently! New steering rack is in and the truck is working again, taking me to my new job and school when necessary. Really happy with the shop that did it. Still need to have it aligned and all will be well, so waiting for that before I make a final determination on how...

Bijan... This thread is missing an update or two... :p

Thanks! I'm really happy with it.

Just got this little mod back from Duarte at Northeast Watch Works for my do-it-all watch. It's a minor mod of the Seiko SRP777 "Turtle", which includes a DLW sapphire crystal, an SBDC031 (black Seiko Sumo) dial, and a Strapcode Super Oyster. DSC_9257-Edit-Edit (Custom)

Truck looks outstanding! What winch hook is that?
