Yeah you're not supposed to do it but just one last mod.  I'm going to be cutting across Kansas and Oklahoma and not on the interstate.  When the big trucks roll by on the gravel quite a bit can become airborne.  A little Home Depot gutter guard and some zip ties will provide some protection for the oil cooler.  I installed XPel film on the lens a few years ago so that should be fine.

Everything is packed and I'm ready to go in the morning.  I even did a test tip-over and pick-up in the front lawn.
