    Brake system flush

    Be sure to keep the reservoir full.... If it runs empty and you get air in the system you have to start over.

    Tire question. Moving from Texas to Boulder.

    Another thing I forgot to mention about the KO2's is that they are quiet on the highway.

    Tire question. Moving from Texas to Boulder.

    BF Goodrich K02 all terrain for year round use, snowflake rated. Not a 100 series but these tires will work just as well on one.

    RTH - Belt? stranded with fam Luray Virginia

    If there's a NAPA in town I'd check with them. If they don't have the part they can probably get it by tomorrow.

    Brake system flush

    I use two 32oz bottles. One is usually enough for a annual flush but I have another on hand just in case. Only use new brake fluid from a sealed bottle, don't save the old stuff.

    Blew out a tire on the trail today, time for a full upgrade. Can you help?

    BFG KO2's. I can't personally comment on how well they work on a 100 but they work great on my 80.

    Insurance advice

    I second this recommendation. If you rear end a brand new $100k Mercedes can you pay the $50k difference for a new one out of pocket, or will you have to sell your house? At one point I thought about how expensive new cars are these days and bumped up my liability coverage for that reason.

    Mountain driving technique?

    Climbing just depends, usually D is fine but if you find the transmission constantly hunting for the right gear its easier just to put it in a lower gear and leave it there. The ECU(s) are constantly taking into account the load on the engine, accelerator position, speed, air density, etc... and...

    Mountain driving technique?

    As others have said, use low gear and go slow. Engine braking is your friend and won't hurt it or the transmission. Keep a close eye on the gauges and fluid levels, if you have a leak or issue get it sorted out before "pushing onward".

    Good location and method to hide a key somewhere on the vehicle?

    Good call, thats what I meant to show.

    Good location and method to hide a key somewhere on the vehicle?

    For extra piece of mind I'd place the spare key in a combo lock box. You could probably clip it to a frame rail somewhere.

    Brake system flush

    I'd recommend a brake fluid flush every two years at a minimum. If you do your own work its only around $25, including the brake fluid and one man bleeder. I replace the fluid in my FZJ80 and both BMW's once a year.

    Winter tire recommendations?

    BFG KO2's all the way. Went on a 30 mile drive yesterday on forest service roads in 8" of fresh snow without any issues (no lockers, no CDL engaged). They also work really well on snow packed roads, you really have to try to make it slip. In addition they have the snowflake symbol and count as...
