Are you saying I'm cheap? Right on!

No actually I wanted something as close to OEM as possible, since I like alot about the stock system, and don't really need the "run without a spare" option that the Q-bag offers.

After getting the old bags off, I see that they aren't really in obviously poor condition, but since I do like sitting under the awning with my head only a foot or so away from the bag, I feel better knowing it's not quite the loaded gun the old one was.

Now it's tire time.

I'll have to do some measurements to be exact, but my calibrated leg says it's just as high as OEM to climb up in when fully raised.

But it is FAST. The lower bag volume and pressure means it comes up off an empty bag in about 4 minutes. I still have leaks in the valves, but I'll have to wait until next year probably before going with the JR Slaten's valves (unless I save my milk money).
