idk how much this is. Maybe $1-2 more than purified. We power through the waters too

and to keep this on track, nice progress on the exhaust!

I hate buying bottled water cause environment and what not but, I hate cleaning cups and bottles so Eff nature. I make up for it by having cats on the Tahoe.


Went for the first long drive since cutting off the exhaust and omg life is changed! It rides soooooooo good now! Didn't realize how much that exhaust axle interference was ruining my ride quality. Theres a big double dip on my neighborhoods Mexico lane and I used to avoid it so I didn't need spine reconstruction. Now I can hit it at 50 and don't even feeling it!

Need to do some shock adjustments again and really get it right

im with ya man...hate buying individual bottles cause of the waste. i broke down and just ended up getting the 5gallon jugs delivered once a month and throw them on a water cooler. i get 3 cases delivered along with them usually just to stock up for hurricane season - if we burn thru the 5 gals - going out on bikes or sometimes its just easier to grab a bottle on the way out the door

I've been thinking about a water cooler, I have one at work and I only use one bottle all day and refill it. Need to do the same at home just lazy I suppose. My other excuse is my kitchen is small idk where I'd put one. So for now I'll be a POS I suppose.

I use a water filter pitcher and use Nalgene bottles with the narrow mouth. Narrow mouth is much easier to drink from without spilling or looking ridiculous, lol.

I also use the smaller 16oz a lot as well. A lot of times I just don't need a big ass jug of water.

A great tabletop water filter is the Berkey travel filter. Pricey but my friend had one and it's awesome Screenshot_20210530-180941_Amazon Shopping.jpg

Problem with that is the water isn't ice cold, my well water is actually really yummy. And problem using a filter pitcher is my fridge is small and has no room for one.

Need a kitchen remodel so one of these days a water cooler/filter will be added. Or a fullsize fridge with one built in.

I never posted the T1 4 piston swap in here although theres another thread with more details ill just post the basics.

2020 OEM calipers
R1 Concepts slotted and drilled 13.5" rotors and R1 Concepts OEM style pads. They bolted up great and needed 2 thin stainless washers to space them out correctly. Upon testing I believe the breaking distance has been shortened by approx 10-15%.

I also finally installed the passenger stainless braided line, and bled 6 bottles through the system.

Because they are powder coated so thick I did install the 1/4" spacers to provide more than enough clearance.

Haha never seen that before, I don't care what label is on the bottles $2.99 for 40 is a damn good price! I usually go through a case every 5 days or so.
Glad we have the purest water in the country, Bull Run Watershed. I just run my drinking water through the filter in the fridge and it tastes great, just like spring water. Which it actually is. I do add the packets of Crystal Light for flavor but that’s it.
