I have replaced all the injectors and the return lines with the braided hose...LOVE THEM.......Haven't experienced and issues so far and they sure were easier than putting those little clamps in place with my ham-hock mitts...

Unsuccessful getting gauges to work so built a quick blinker defeat.

My vehicle is A1 so steering wheel won’t accept proper defeat ring.

Used chop stix from a prior meal.

Guess my vehicle is now multinational.

Another day playing HUMMWV.

IMG_7436.jpg Just another rusted up bolt the sawzall took care of and I have a BAD ASS impact gun.

IMG_7438.jpg So much for a stuck drain plug.

New to you. OLD truck to them. Rubbing a hole in line up against rotor. $15 part.

Note to newbies. Check and double check ALL SYSTEMS and know your truck, CAMO

Was this truly done my HMMWV? Not exactly, but close enough. I've had an MSA Millennium gas mask for a while, which is extremely similar to an MCU-2/P, which in turn has a lot of accessories cross-compatible with an M40 mask. After I setup the intercom, I realized how much of a non-event it would be add a microphone element to my mask and hook it into my intercom...so I dropped $12 on eBay and popped it in as soon as it arrived. The audio is pretty clear, with a very strong dynamic microphone sound. It definitely comes in way louder than the stock boom mic even without wearing a mask. I now have a very oddball capability that sits in the "why the **** not?" category.

And yes, I know I need a haircut! I'd be in a lot of trouble if I actually needed to use this mask for some reason and my hair was breaking the seal like it is.

Gotta wonder if driving with the mask on might grab the attention of the fearful who might readily dial 9-1-1 !!!

Jus' thinkin'.

Carry on.

I await my 700R4, and I'm happy to hear you're satisfied with yours.

What is your top end speed?

I did curbside pickup at Carrabba’s. They don’t have “3 color camo” as a car color when you order online. I asked about changing the website to accommodate the HMMWV color scheme, they didn’t get it.
