Changed the oil this weekend. Installed the fumoto valve, the nipple is closer to the sway bar than I hoped. I guess I’ll find out it the next oil change if I can get good drainage from a tube, I suspect not.

On a more positive note, I draped a puppy pad over the frame and rack, and it did a great job.

I have the same fumoto valve but mine is not as close as yours. I wonder what the variable is that makes some closer than others? I have a limited with ORP
With all these valves aren’t you leaving a bunch of crap in the bottom of the pan as the valve has to sit higher internally than just pulling the whole plug.

I run a fumoto with tube on my daughters car, no issue with getting all the oil out. you can even cut the tube short so it goes just past your sway bar.

Agreed it may leave a few ounces if that but that’s what an oil filter is for right? 😝

It would take me far too long to find it. I seen a picture of a fumoto valve in a 5.9 Cummins pan. The boss in the pan was thick and inside the pan. The threads of the fumoto were flush with that boss. So it didn't matter that oil was staying in that pan anyway. Not saying all pans are like that.

Obligatory, didn’t happen today but installed the Form headlights on my Rebel. Love the look and was pleasantly surprised at their performance versus the factory LED reflectors.

Side by side comparison starts at 12:30 if you want to get right to the review and skip the install.

Looks Good! I've been contemplating swapping out the OEM LED. What made you go with this brand and headlight? I wish the projector frame was black.

I like the way these look compared to Morimotos and AlpalhaRex’s. Also Form is related to Diode Dynamics which has awesome customer service so it was an easy decision.

And personally, I try to support midwestern companies whenever I can (Form is out of Missouri).

Good to know! Thanks for the input. I'm in Lemont.

KROWN salt bath and full rust treatment. Did this on my 19 Big Horn and never any hint of rust. For context, I live in the "snow belt" in Upstate NY.
