The ex, they went out coming off of Hurricane, I had to use my parking brake, got them back, after posting on the ef site about it, Ted hit it right on the nose, I'm pretty sure I boiled my brake fluid, that is on the list to repace before next time on the road.

Oh yikes, brakes seem to be the big issue lately. What caused the fluid to boil?
Looks like tug had a great time, and with the rain I'm guessing not to hot. None the less looks awesome, keep the photos coming.

It was a serious pucker factor when the pedal went all the way to the floor, I think at the winch point and just after I was holding the brakes hard to keep from rolling backwards and going slow over some obstacles. I had thought that I had caused the rear end to overheat because I had oil coming out of my breather and heard a boiling sound, I checked the rear end, which was not hot. But after Ted stated that boiling of the brake fluid might of done it, 2 and 2 made four. The master clylinder is close to the extended breather tube, I never opened the hood, didn't know brake fluid could boil.

Just some scenery

Damn, do you think it was due to old brake fluid, or just simply overuse?
Oh, and thanks for the invite!
