doing st joe state park this weekend, flat river. another buddy with a raptor, a frontier and i think a buddy with a dirtbike too. should be a good time.

have some mods planned for the future but right now im just enjoying driving this thing so damn much. its a dream.

ordered the pop socket and car mount. not a bad little setup for 20$

had a blast at st joe state park MO. got all 4 off the ground for the first time. i like.
cant wait to take my other rig out there.

got the burnt pump swapped out. i found it the easiest to let all the air out of the tires.
pull intake, remove reservoir, then unbolt the pump. pull the belt on the last bolt.

its annoying and a little messy, but overall pretty easy. more pictures if it werent so messy.

side bar, i think im going to do some research into this new resi from all these other companies. i know a lot of people just blindly say the baffling sucks in the stock ones. but they do not suck, people may be getting duped to dump almost 350$ to do something the factory one does just fine.


i think the better route would be to possibly get a larger diameter pump wheel and a larger drive belt to drop back pressure and lower temps. its finger turns as is.

got my second oil change knocked out, sending it off to black stone labs to see what the **** my oil has been up to.
