Fixed.
This was my only loss of the night by about a half truck. Ive been trying to race this guy for a few months now and it just figures I finally get to line up with hime\ and the solenoid on my ARB compressor went to ground.... There WILL be a rematch!

Thanks, it was a perfect day for some exploring. We went back as far as we could until the road was impassible so we backed the bronco up too the boulder so we could climb up and over and hike in the rest of the way.

That would tighten the sphincter. Haha! Definitely could have gone bad quick. Did you guys discuss the definition of straight after that?

More from the same trip. That down hill shot spread the bead just enough to get a rock between tire and rim that caused a slow leak but not enough to change tires. Discount tire fixed it after I got home but mangled the fancy APP grommet valve stem... awesome.
