Glass half full

A lot of "glass half empty" comments here, but instead I picture traffic parting like the Red Sea as this Big-Bad-Skewer-Warhead-BikeShredding-PriusPiercing-DrunkTripperSlaughtering-ShoppingCartKilling-DeerCollecting Monster rolls down the road

Uhm...think you can get a Tesla Coil to arc between them? Ready-to-Eat Deer meat...MMMmmmmm!

Apoc, you got yourself a really nice looking bumper there, maybe not as nice as mine, but still a very nice looking setup!

Ok... time to post up some progress

After taking Bad Horse for a gallop "off road" for the first time in some huge gravel I somehow developed a leak in my ESOF system. Fearing for the worst I panicked and made another thread, texted and called 3 different members (you know who you are) and thought I had ruined my truck. Turns out I lost my Vacuum canister due to not having my inner fenders installed since I have yet to finish my header swap. Well in the mean time I ordered these: Super serious off road hoses as they are apparently a HUGE weak link in the system. They came in and I was dreading installing them but I wanted my truck to have AC coming out of the vents more so I went to Harbor Freight and bought this: Electric Impact Wrench and it I swear cut 90% of the work time and frustration out of the job! I used one at Razzis house and it was amazing. I have never not had access to compressed air or a lift until I moved here so I hate working on things now. Anyway, I got that and pulled the wheels off and swapped the hoses over and still the issue wasn't fixed (sadface). Well yesterday I went to the place I lost my canister after about a week and it was still there!!!! So I put it on and no change. Again I was quite let down but ready to come back to the forum and get more help. Before I did as a random idea I swapped the hoses on the vacuum canister an low and behold VENTS!!!!! So everything is fixed and even though the ESOF hoses weren't the issue I extremely recommend replacing them if you plan on keeping the OEM set-up. Here's some pics, enjoy them as you see fit and thanks for all the help diagnosing everything guys!

You should probably take this time to service the hubs.

I was actually curious if he is a nervous picker like I am or if that is just how they are? Luckily I have some control and my nails aren't bad but my brother is a pretty bad picker and his nails are all way back into the skin.
