Pex pipe = Spider web catcher. Sometimes you just gotta go with what you haveWhat's the blue hoop?
Yep. I'm not a fan of the eight legged critters. Or the ones with no legsheh, that's interesting. I still freak out every time something comes creeping up my arm or leg while I'm focused on driving.
You'll love the Elkas. Looks like you could use a bit more preload.I haven't posted in a while so here's a few pics of some recent upgrades...
Finally wired up the 2nd battery. Now I have power to my winch and any other accessory I might add later. The little RC single row led light fit perfectly inside the Warn bumper. This light is tied to my high beam factory switch.

Bought an aluminum bash plate from one of the inmates here. Bolted up perfectly and covers the gap between the frame and Warn bumper.
Also installed 3/8" UHMW skid from SSSoffroad. The front lip sandwiches between the frame and bash plate.

Also installed the plug-and-play auto backup lights from the forum store.

Which reminds me...in preparation for winter, I removed the Alienshade bimini top and installed the Honda factory lid.
I may have posted this last picture before but earlier this year I installed the SATV arms and Elka S4 shocks all around. I haven't played with all the settings since I'm still adding accessories.

Yes, I know. The 10w40 Honda engine oil would have worked just fine. Just playing around to see if I can get rid of some of the gear wine.That's expensive oil for your sub trans! You do know you don't need JASO MA2 in the sub, right?
When I drained the diffs, I noticed some metalic coloring, but it was the first drain at 3600 miles. I think the gear wine is reduced a little and here in AZ we’re quite a bit warmer than your location, thus the heavier weight oils for the high temp end. Right now I think the tires are making more noise than the gear train.Let us know if you notice any difference. I went to synthetic 75-140 in the diffs, and while I *think* I may have noticed a slight difference, it was negligible.
Keep that @#$% away from us! Read recently that our winter should arrive later than it usually does. Fingers crossed.For me, today, I put the blade on. Everyone says winter is coming. Right. Winter is here. It broke some trees.
