9. Our hosts cooking dinner, slaughtered goat cooked as primitively as it comes, the origin of the barbecue, no marination, no grill just cooked on hot stones. We'd usually cooked it otherwise, but didn't want to offend.

10. On the road back to reality, Gebel (mountain) Ghareb at sunset with a rain pool from last month.

Made up some end caps for my US Cargo Control L-track. Between my knee and damaged boxes, I needed something to put on the edges so I made some endcaps.

Hey TheRareElement, whats the temperature like this time of the year in South/East Egypt?

That Acacia valley is so neat....I always think of the Ark of the Covenant and other vessels since it was made out of Acacia wood and over laid with gold

I installed 2" Extended Bilstein Shocks and 1.5" Spring Spacers under my truck

Replacing the main battery's cables. The original was starting to corrode and the covering fell apart any place I bent it even a little bit. Yeah, it was time. View attachment 1389353View attachment 1389355View attachment 1389357

Very cool!

Thanks for sharing

Damn...

keep them coming @TheRareElement I am really loving those pics.

Have been grounded for the last 2 years, both Eastern & Western Desert off-limits, couldn't take it any longer and decided to go. Some connections, PR and plenty of luck and we made it. Glad you enjoyed the pics.

Daytime in the sun & no wind around low 30's (C), nighttime down to low 10's (C), plenty of kite surfers on the East Coast
This acacia has some tough wood, best charcoal I'd ever used, lasts forever. I dont' know about the ark though, when I see it I'll check, heard it is stashed in some small monastery in Axum, Ethiopia

Most welcome LS1, too bad all these remote places are being corrupted by encroaching civilization, wish they just leave those natives alone.

@mdeane How do you like the shocks? I just did the rs9000xl with the same spacer. I'm not sure how I feel about the 9000's yet. Thinking of doing something different.

Bought another set of O2 sensors hoping to cure my never ending code 25/26.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does this help with the P0420? Is it an adapter to a different O2 sensor? Does it cause the sensor to run cooler? Im curious to learn.

Should space the second O2 sensor out so it's not directly in the exhaust stream.

Stoked to get my OEM Toyota brake line extension kit from Akela today. Great deal, IMO.
