Seen threads like these on other forums I frequent for different platforms, couldn’t find one in here for the Outlander.. so here it goes.

This thread could be a success or an utter failure. So I’ll start, ideally post photos along with what you actually did.

Installed one of the aluminum shifter brackets.

Went for a fast offroad ride with my friend on his CRF250x, mostly, dusty trails, 250 km. Peak summer temps with some fires so toasty at 85F. We tried to climb into the higher elevations to reach the pine forests but with an uptick in criminal activity we found several locked gates so a no-go today.
Another day...

I did 3 thinks 😉

Going for a 700km ride in the woods with friends in 3 weeks.
1- I added a "temporary shelf " for a 5 gal gas can. 2 cans on the front rack is too heavy with the luggage.
2- Tired of loosing those rubber end caps so found those aluminum and boy can they but tighten .
3- And last, put some Armour All before the ride's mud 😜😜

I have a storage shed, the bird crap happened when I pulled up next to my front door and ran inside just to grab my helmet and hoodie and gloves. I swear birds sit there and do this on purpose lol

Lol man you are right.
I'll never forget what happened to my buddy's car. Years ago I'm going to say somewhere around 1998 or 99, my buddy had just bought a practically brand new Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. He was obsessed with washing and waxing that car, he had just done a stereo install on it and spent about 3 hours washing and waxing by hand. He comes down to my house parks in the driveway and comes inside and ask me if I wanted to go for a coffee run with him and listen to his new stereo system. I said sure, we went outside, at this point he had probably only been at my house between 10 to 15 minutes. As we stood on the step and looked at the top of his car, the entire roof was almost white. Spots all over the hood and the trunk too. He was parked right under one of our big weeping willow trees in the yard, that tree was full of birds, now very empty birds but it was still full of birds lol. Needless to say, he was not impressed lol

That would be the icing on the cake for me. It’s always bird poo or it starts raining after you wash the car.

Even if i look at the forecast and it shows sun for a week , but the next morning there will be some morning dew or fog . I think you know how a black car works, it gets dirty even if you look at it.

Finished greasing one front wheel bearing after I pulled the axle etc. left side still remains to be done.

How difficult is it to bleed the brakes? Considering changing the fluid on the machine. I seem to have a pulsing feel when I brake I’m assuming it’s the front right, as the left side seemed fine once I looked at it.
