Sh**, I just realized why.... just like we have outboard drains on aircraft for highly flammable liquid oxygen, they probably attach hoses to a separate bilge tank on every vehicle to catch any kind of leaks that could be flammable vapors or are oxygen depleting on an underdeck. Makes total...

But why are they so large for a diff/trans breather? Those are like 1/4" tubing. And it doesn't look like anything could be running to the rear one. All that is next to it is the pillow mount/carrier bearing location for the driveshaft. And also, why such a huge outlet that looks a lot like a...

Probably something environmental. Maybe they have some weird restrictions on dirty floorboard water. God forbid the swamp you drive through goes back into the environment somewhere :CWL:

So good news, got the section cut out and replaced yesterday. Didn't cost too much, so I'm happy for now. Anyway, if everyone that has skid plates that protect this area could let me know what they have or recommend. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be in the market very soon. Unfortunately, I'll prob have to make the 4-hour drive back to the house before I can get it into a shop Monday. There's not much out here for muffler shops, as expected 😐

So I used to replace those refueling drogues and the entire hoses constantly in the FTU. The condition they would come back in (or not at all after a hose guillotine) never cease to amaze me, whether it was H-60s on lowspeeds or CV-22s on the highspeeds. I would cuss the pilots up and down as a...

I will definitely get a copy of that. Also, just a cool tidbit for you: I worked security for the Lone Survivor film set and chatted with Peter Berg while I was there. We discussed Luttrel's book a lot and he put me on it before the movie came out. I was also in the background of a movie scene...

**Harrison Ford has entered the chat**

That's awesome. Well, thanks for what you do/did. Y'all are absolutely legendary 🫡

I noticed the desert flight suit pic and the fact you're in Kentucky. You dont happen to be a SOAR vet? I did some rapid infil/exfil training with the 5th quite a few times. Used to watch flight ops out there. They do some absolutely crazy sh&@!

That's what they've told me for 18 years, though I'm still unsure with my vacation "deployments" and my steak & lobster dfac meals 😋

Well, if I haven't bought anything yet, I'd certainly would be interested for the right price. On another note, I will be jumping for the factory Hemi JT after I retire from the AF. Never wanted anything else since the 392 Wrangler first came out.

As most would say, you gotta pay to play. Even the most experienced trail riders are bound to get damage. I accept that when I take a stock $60K+ truck out on trails, dings are going to happen, but my Limited Commander's skid plates provide better protection than this.

Yeah, I am going to replace the exhaust at some point, but not until I figure out what skid plate I'm going for. I also dont want an exhaust that's any louder than the OEM, but dont want to pay the ridiculous price for OEM exhaust. Stainless will probably be what I go for, whether I have to...

Happy 4th everyone! Finished a trail ride on 3B in Eureka Springs, AR yesterday. Quite a fiasco, but nonetheless still adrenaline-pumping fun. Their trail markings are Green (Easy), Blue (Moderate) and Black (Extreme), so no real differences there; but then they have Polaris & Polaris w/ and...

That's in poor taste for the recovering alcoholic trying to get in shape

My buddy is an electrician that works on base a lot (civ ctr) and all the lighting is 277. They won't let him shut off any of it during business hours. Sort of ironic how they'd never allow that for AF personnel.

Well, that's a trap... that's a sting operation for people trying to fake their own death. It's a real problem these days

I had it it briefly as a trial subscription on my phone and it linked thru Android Auto on my '23. If I paid for the subscription I pretty sure I could use it again. As far as installing it, I didn't there would be a need to. I was under the impression with it used thru Android Auto, it just...

Oh... so he IS one of those guys 😂😂
