Took a detour to grill some meat we brought with us...

Underneath shot, showing the smoker skillet, tri-roast, and the aluminum pan to help capture more smoke...

Good looking rig. Had the family 90 for a while myself. Kinda miss it.
It's been a good one, I don't see selling it. I had no idea when I bought it, that they were so reliable, and I heard a bunch of people bagging on them and saying they weren't reliable.

If I kept mine I was going to do a radiator swap to get rid of the dang bottle. That was the only real problem besides crank sensor

For years mine would get hotter than it should, and would lose coolant, would have to add coolant and burp the system every few months. I bought a new overflow bottle and runs a steady 200* all year.

Well, @squaredeal91 got me to thinking, and I don't want to tear into the steering gear replacement project only to find out the aluminum brace is cracked or broken. So, yesterday I ordered and new steel brace from JCOffroad. I just called to see if it falls within their lead times, and he said it does, but then asked for my name and said it should ship out today or early next week. COOL!
