What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Put the bracket back on for the winter and plowed the driveway. Last winter was so weak I shoveled my driveway once all year. Never used the plow. I hope our winter is a little better this year. I'm re-working the power angle this season with a convertible car hydraulic pump and cylinder for power angle instead of the bi-directional atv winch I have now. I keep breaking the atv winch cable. It's just not strong enough.

Did you do it yourself? I've read that changing the pads on the 4Rs are super easy. I've got a ways to go before I'll need a brake job but would be good to keep in mind when I do.

Yup. Sent you a pm with details. There are a few threads on that here but feel free to ping w/ questions :)

I can't believe people put up with that nonsense.

Tinted the windows in the rig, 50% in the front (VA legal) 18 on the passenger doors, 5% in the hatch windows and 18% on the rear window. Also called Gobi and I am now 8 weeks in to a 8-12 week window....so I will hopefully get it before June! :frusty:
 
Today: just picked up a check for $700 bucks from Geico for the lady who dinged our door on Sunday (while on the way home from dealership after buying it)

It's worth it to live 10 miles from this:

Going somewhere that you could die just by getting lost or losing your footing. Looks exciting.

I'll see you down here when you retire. Remember the right lane is for driving slow, and we don't care how you did it up north.
 
Had Level8 mk6 17x8 -10offset with KO2 in 265/70/17. Did the fender liner mod and no rubbing. Need to reshape mud flaps a little with heat gun as only had rubbing at full lock in reverse going down an incline aka my driveway. Flat driving at full lock is not rubbing like doing a u turn. Very happy!

More pics tomorrow. Left center caps off and will remove the 8 logo and hit it with flat black spray paint.

Installed my N-Fabs! Love them, really completes the look of the Trail for me because it didn't come with anything, meaning you could see all of the KDSS tubing frames etc. I also sealed the ends up with silicone to hopefully prevent rusting for as long as possible.

MULE Expedition Outfitters

Woke up especially early this morning to have an ARB Rear Locker installed at MULE EXPEDITION OUTFITTERS in Washington. Located in Issaquah, just outside of Seattle, MULE has some of the leading ARB technicians installing lockers, OME suspension, roof racks, bumpers & winches. Couldn't be happier with the work John & Paul have done. I'll be back again for sure!

Very envious!... If you don't mind sharing, what's the total cost of the parts/install?
 
Got new OEM windshield installed again. The only place I will be driving my Bismarck will be into the shipping container.
