Well, I just replaced my motherboard, the power supply outlet on the board broke. 
That's what I get for dropping my laptop when I'm drunk.
So I
with that for a few hrs today. And upgraded my processor too.
I gotta say, it's nice to have a running machine again, even if it is 7 years old, and I've had it since I graduated high school.
I just wish I was as good at fixing my truck as I am my stupid laptop.

I have terrible luck. I spend extra money to get the "best intake on the market" for my new quad. No instructions, and after a few days of working on it trying to figure out how those guys in the youtube video managed to make it work, ended up having to break out the dremmel tool and cutoff wheel to keep the sharp edge from pinching the cables that go to the starter solenoid. It's all bolted in now, but if any of you guys ever decide to put an aftermarket intake on a yamaha raptor 700, get ahold of me and I'll tell you which one NOT to buy.
On the brighter side, I've finally got the new mickey thompson sportsman sr front runners on the way. The size I need has been on back order for a few months now. I needed a set for my 17" skinny front wheels and until the end of last year all they had were 15's and 18's.

Got the tires today. F'ed Ex delivered them a few blocks away, and I got that lady's package. Luckily she still had them and we just swapped packages. Got the exhaust installed on the Raptor with Clint's help. Clint and I got his Raptor most of the way back together. Just need to install the new chain.

Ha, we saw that one while poking around Craigslist and we thought that it was screaming your name 
, I bet that LWB will really help out in comparison to your old one
Looks great, we looked at a new one when we were shopping for the Denali and man were they spacious! Lots of options, especially when compared with the CJ lol
