Had a couple Subaru STIs I used to track and would switch blue / amber.
Have a tiny amount of blue left. Could probably use it as a tint base :)

I'm using Castrol SRF brake fluid in my Nismo. Shit ain't cheap. I'm also using a brake fluid tester to measure the moisture content.

We have too many hobbies!
Would love to have a new Powerwagon but picked the JT and loving it.
Your PW did look like a real beast!

Couple years of Harley and Caddies used Dot 5 fluid. It was short lived thankfully.
Won't find me using it - but a lot of people with show cars, classics, do because if the thing about not eating the paint.
Me - I fix things as soon as I see any leak, I have powder coated my master cylinders, not painted them like many do, and I try to keep up with the brakes - flushing and refreshing fluid now and then.

Never have too many hobbies. LOL............yeah.....right. Between doing trackdays with the Nismo, 4 wheeling with the JT, long range target shooting, the motorcycle, and the new grand daughter. I need a break.

I miss my old Power Wagon. Have a lot of great memories with that truck. Did most of the trails at Moab with it. Done all the trails at Rausch Creek. It took me places where I was scared to walk. Been in water that was over the hood. Mother Natural started to get revenge on it. Found a rust hole under the cab. Body shop wanted $4K to start with. So.....I started to figure out what I needed to do. Wasn't for that rust hole. I would still have it.
