Accessories:

sixliter tune-up, "ghetto" K&N, 210 York air compressor with all the on-board air stuff done the right way. I recently removed the electric fan and installed a stock mechanical fan. It has the upgraded Sag power steering pump with oil cooler, 130 amp 3G alt with high amp wiring. Summit headers run into a custom Y-pipe and into a new catco high flow cat. The muffler is a 2 chamber flowmaster running tight to the body and dumps at a turndown before the rear axle. There's a transmission cooler with auxiliary fan wiring through the dash. There's also an auxilery filter installed under the hood. New drum brakes all attached with ruffstuff axle swap kit. It also has a ruffstuff pinion gaurd and a custom truss running the full length. There's also was a winch installed above the rear axle for compressing the rear suspension to get in and out of short garages. The interior was stripped down, Kragen bucket seats, two rear seats, interior high lift mount with 48" high lift, Smittybuilt roll bar, high end speakers with an alpine deck thats about 2 years old. There's was a switch panel for the on-brard air, tranny fan, lights and formally the elctric radiator fan. There's also a midway CB. Of course the half doors which swap out fairly easy with the door hinge pin mod. Two tops as well, one stock and one with the glass removed. It also had a bug deflector, "off road" lights, 4 rediculous tow points with shackes. I owned it for more than 10 years and it served me well. Sold in order to pursue the happiness of Classic bronco ownership.

Miscellaneous:

My trucks name is "Mama Cass". She's a big girl but light on her feet.

Worst off-road incident:

At carnegie back in '01 I had gone over a little hill where recent rain had washed half of it away. It rolled right onto 2 wheels and luckily, I was able to panic and crank the wheel and slam the gas to keep it from going over on it's side. My power steering has leaked ever since. That same trip I found that I had a tilt steering wheel by accidently jumping a set of whoops. Now I know why they are called that.

Funniest off-road incident:

At my first Hollister trip, I rode with Justin and when he passed out by the fire, Stan's girlfriend tickled his nose and he woke up violently kicking her and asking, "where's Danny?" Had to be there.
