Thanks again. I was leaning to either the Toyos or the Trail Graps when Eddies writeup on the Coopers came out. Literally one day away from ordering them.
Cant go wrong with any of them. :thumb:

So like most people I have all of my trail spares, parts, tools, accessories, etc in bins stored in my garage. Unfortunately I have these stupid wasps that like to build nests
in almost anything with an opening.
I found a few buzzing around my spare rad hoses so I decided to seal them up with the vacuum sealer we use for our groceries we buy in bulk.
LOL, my first attempt on a rad hose ended up like this:
I forgot you can turn the vacuum off whenever you want and you don't have to scrunch the shit outta the damn thing.
So the second attempt ended up much better,
After I figured it all out I put everything I didn't want wasps in like spare hoses, air lines, etc into bags & sealed them up. Also put stuff like wipes, TP, sealants in bags as well.
Also put spare driveshaft yokes, power steering pump, brake lines in bags to keep them from banging around.

Not a bad idea...keeps rust from forming too most likely.
I got my dad the same food saver last year...with all the stuff he vacuum packs now, I swear he's vacuum pack the damn foodsaver itself given the opportunity lol.

You can also use the vacuum sealer to pack bearings full of grease. [emoji106]

I see the light!
I forgot I ordered these OPT7 LED floods last November and found the box moving stuff around this afternoon. So naturally, instead of being responsible and weedwacking our pasture fence line like I intended, I installed these.
I got these on Amazon. $125.00 for a set of 4. Came with a really well made complete wiring harness with nice weather-proof ends. We'll see how they hold up.
I mounted both sets aimed to the sides to fill in blind spots. having installed Trucklite headlights, I really don't need the forward light.
I ended up just using the switches provided with the lights. Maybe not the fanciest method, but this spot is really handy and the you can activate the switches without reaching or even looking.

Ok, so this photo is kinda embarrassing. I gotta do something cause this mess looks like Fido's ass. :icon_crazy: Maybe pick up those fancy battery terminals like WJCO just put on or something...
