Went up early and did the Skyline BOH trail in the dark. Was a different experience.

I did the install of the WolfBox G900 Tri Pro on the weekend. Took a few hours to get it in and secured for test locations. I bought the replacement OEM style mirror bracket so no rubber band to secure. I did use it during the test fittings and recommended by Wolfbox camera tests before full installation. Front bumper trail camera is hung upside down from the bullbar and the rearview is up on the GOBI Racks. Currently just ziptied in place to confirm I like the placements, then I'll secure them properly.

So I noticed that the cooling fan was kicking on fairly often last week so I popped the hood to find what I figured. Pink color dried on a lot around the drivers side near the firewall. So it was time to do the inevitable plastic stock to aluminum parts upgrade of the cooling system on the Dirty Canary this morning. reservoir, Dorman y connection, and both coolant fittings. Pretty straight forward and easy installation.

Officially the Dirty Canary now.
This name from my Grandpa Jim and Grandma Billie plane the Red Hot Canary that they flew all over the country for Dixieland jazz festivals.
Miss them both very much.

Installed some driving lights to the Dirty Canary tonight. Definitely need to go out to a trail and dial in the angles but they are significantly bright

Went to collect the BOA for Skyline in Camas this morning. I love starting trails at dawn. Just sits right with me. Im sure the view is amazing without the low clouds, but still enjoyed regardless. Ended up getting in Mountain View as well on the way back out. Timber dog got her share of stops and sniffing in as well, enogh that she was tuckered out on the way back home
