Trail Damage is OK. I can live with trail damage...

But crap just falling apart in the parking lot? No way.

Todays damage tally:

New body damage: None
Power steering pump finally "burped" out all air": Add 2/3 quart ps fluid. (Thanks John and Diane for helping with the pour!)
UCP finally got "massaged" into contact with exhaust. New UCP/Rubber duck time!!

BUT... in the parking lot while adding power steering fluid:

Passenger side hood strap fell apart...AHHHH!!!
Then...
While reaching for off-road light switch I broke loose the prototype housing I made for left of the dash... (Bondo is NOT a structural element!)

Finally... to add insult to injury...

I get back to the hotel room and find I forgot to palce last nights pizza in the fridge... and so NO SNACK FOR CHUCKIE!

It is time to find a cheaper hobby. Like maybe cocaine.

Comment: Inverter is 100% paid for now. Inverter powered big bright florescent work lights from my toolboax so John, Diane, Hong, and I could easily see exactly what we were doing, bright as day, in an otherwise pitch black parking lot. It made the power steering fluid refill easy...
