Was a non-stop week in San Diego for a tradeshow for work, always fun, but exhausting....then I get home and my head and chest are a mess, still hacking up things daily....so been a low key week....BUT....in fun garage things news, my new toy showed up yesterday, like any true gearhead, I had to start digging in!
What is now the most expensive tool I've ever purchased, and maybe the most expensive shipping bill I've ever paid....(5 boxes, totaling ~515lb, which came it at ~$510, not horrible I guess)
Rogue Fab Tubing Bender! Purchased the "Tradesman Package" with upgraded hydraulic ram, cart, etc

Purchased the main part of the bender pre-welded and powder coated...I knew it would be a struggle to get it to a coater, so bit the bullet and spent a little extra there

Currently in the middle of prepping the Cayman for a trip up to Tail of the Dragon, so bender cart assembly will have to wait till I get back from that trip, but the wife is then on a 2wk work trip, so should allow some free time to work on that side project.

After almost exactly 2yrs of owning the Cayman, it was time to upgrade the brakes, went with a set of Frozen Rotors, they came highly recommended, then went with Hawk HP+ pads, seem like they should be a good option for street and spirited mountain driving
