The head gasket rebuild took some time, I had a local mechanic over to the garage a few times and together we worked through it. The hardest part was remembering where everything went, and how. I wrote notes and am glad I did. I put on the sliders, they're nice. Otherwise I've done hoses, starter, alternator, water pump, PHH, radiator, dual battery, and a stereo. My pictures don't compare to Aloha Jen, so, just sayin.

View attachment 1254174 View attachment 1254175 Mounted L-tracks onto Prinsu rack cross bars, I love it! Turned out fantastic and looks like that's how the rack should be. Now I have tons of removable anchor points with lots of options......now I need to figure out what to put on it.
How did you anchor the hex screws in the new tracks onto the Prinsu rails? Did you use the slim nuts in the rails or drill through?
I wouldn't sell yourself short.
Just used slim nuts came with the rack in the rails.

Went to SMORR. Accidentally ran a 5. Smashed the two day old exhaust and flexed the rear bumper into the body.
Today:
315/75/16 MT/R. Would have been helpful yesterday.

They don't come with filters. Most folks add any sort of foam media. You can get rolls of aquarium/pond filter mats in various sizes and foam types. I think those would work well since it's made to be underwater all the time.
Went to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. First to Paradise and did some wheeling, then over to to mouth of the Two Hearted River to camp and fish Rainbow trout. Perfect weather, did more lounging around than anything, and much needed too. We were camped right by the foot bridge to cross the river and we had constant people stopping and asking what kind of rig that was (i have a TEQ grill emblem), and they'd never seen anything like it. Pretty cool.
No wheeling this weekend. 
I did finally get around to mounting my shovel on the rear bumper so that it's no longer bungy corded to my hi-lift.

Wow! Look at all that added horsepower. Nice!
The aerodynamics of the angle increased my fuel economy by at least 4mpg.
With one mounted on each side you can also increase the buoyancy.

Installed some rock lights on Saturday.
Actually, they're more like reggae lights.

Why?
Smoke comes out of them?
I could mount an axe on the other side to cut through the air and make all the JK guys jealous.

Behind th LC is Promintory Point, a protruding piece of the Mogollon Rim, AZ. The other side of the rim about 60 miles is where the Overland Expo was held--great to see the rigs and incredibly nice people there.
Lastly, I bought a Canyon Cooler and wanted to plug them because they're a Startup out of Flagstaff. Great people and they make a cooler better than most. I've had it for a few months now and can attest to the durability and ability to keep ice in solid form. There's not a lot of bling but it does the job it was made for. I have no stake or interest, just love US entrepreneurship.
