Hey Darren, I know I’m late to the party but Snap On makes a nice tool to straighten those fins on your AC evaporator. Great build and thanks for all the detail shots with part numbers. EDIT: Here’s the link to the Snap On fin straightener. I’m sure other companies make these too but this...

Likewise, Had a great experience with them. As an aside, I think those contact us pages only work 10% of the time. I’ve used those with multiple companies and my success rate in getting a response is virtually nil.

Maybe the last two weekends… Drove from NYC to the Solid Axle Summit in Ouray, CO. Did some epic trails, hung out with some Mud legends and had a great time all around. Leaving NYC Kansas! 3 days and in Colorado, 2F power- 24 hour Black Bear pass with a bunch of Mud legends! my favorite...

Thanks to Casey and crew for an amazing event! We decided to keep the spirt alive and remote camped in one of my favorite spots on the San Juan on the way to Flagstaff.

Camped outside Lawrence, KS last night and are busting out another 700 miles today hoping to get to @TheBlackSheep place for camp tonight.

I haven’t seen a Toyota older than 2010 on the whole trip…. yet. Camping just west of Lawrence so staged well for the final push!

My uncle worked at Wright Patterson AFB so familiar with Dayton..,

We are on I-70. Came south as I have a buddy in Kentucky we stopped by to see.

Up in Indiana where the tall corn grows, En route to Topeka, yess! Got a great tailwind here, every little bit helps..
