    Having been a scout leader I've met many similar to Paul - they all turned out A-OK! Another informative yet humourous episode of FR. Michelle's comments are spot on! Thanks for the laughs.

    Building a solid transmission-transfer case mount with bushing engine mounts will crack the trans housing with it being aluminum. Specially bucking that big rig around the rubicon.

    Awesome video and I loved the part where you son asks which way to turn to loosen a bolt/nut. Total flashback to my dad telling me as a little kid. Kinda tearing up just thinking about that. Thanks for that! Have a great trip. Next year you guys should do the Dusy-Ershim Trail near Shaver Lake California. You’ll never want to see rocks and boulders again, but it’s beautiful!
