Drinking a cup of mud with a few sinkers and celebrating. Bert and I went off on our own today to a small seasonal wetland I found on Google Earth…

After years we finally found live specimens of Rhynchomesostoma separate from the original Locale.

Last stop of this excursion. Time to head home…I’m exhausted and Bert needs some TLC.

Congrats on finding your cryptic flatworm species in the wild! NICE. Now go publish. :p And have an adult beverage.

Getting Jeepy’s parking brake repaired today. The parking brake mechanisms inside the rear drums were rusted solid and could not function. Glad to have my local shop take care of this as it looks like a PITA job.

I am now 0/3 on gas tank skid plates from KK Renegades in junkyards. Seems like it is a part that is highly susceptible to rust.

Mine:

Pretty sure this will not do its intended job.

I'm assuming there's a high chance of breaking the bolts if the rust is that bad? Otherwise, why wouldn't the dealership do the same?
Easy answer

they do not get paid to try and make it work, they want easy on and out the door

The guy who installed mine spent a fair amount of time (enough to make me nervous that he was going to pack it in and tell me "tough luck") in cleaning out the threads. I remember watching him and trying decide what form of "pretty please" might make him consider trying again if he did decide to bail.

Took me forever with an old bolt and PB Blaster to run it up, down, refresh the oil, up, down….ad infinitum To clean out each bolt hole so I could install my hitch. No dealership would have taken that time.

If I had to guess...that one was below your antifreeze-coolant reservoir, #5 or #6?
May very of been BUT who overfilled/ let that much moisture down in there?
I mean I have replaced spark plugs in at least 70 or so KJs and have never found that or any moisture like presence in any plug area especially in that area ( and would be 4 or 6 if someone overfilled / whatever as 5 is on the other side)
