Re:What the heck, mate?! No oil! 7 Years ago  
Just to follow up gang...

Yay Canadian Beavers!

After the transfer case finally stopped draining, we ended up getting about 10oz out of her (while sitting up on the jack). I don't even want to do the math of how much oil was in there to begin with.

Hubby took apart my air cleaner...now its time for me to find a new one becuase he hates it. (Im a lucky girl, free shopping!)

Took the pretty girl out for a little test run, seems to be running smoother and no oil leaks when I got back!

I want to thank everyone for all of their help, especially Emu. (I always did have a soft spot for those fuzzy birds)

That's an understatement, you should be ashamed.

Hope you got the car and truck cleaned up too.

Well....My bike is really sparkly right now. I even polished the chrome!

The truck and car might get done Sunday...maybe.

However, I didnt have to cut any bolts off my bike today, the hubs however did.

I might go MaxAir..just looking around at the moment.

The one I have now sticks out so far it's a bit ridiculous for me, makes me feel like I'm riding my bike crooked. Plus, I've wanted one that is more stream-lined with the bike anyway, so now is my opportunity.
