    It was just to pick up my tent and cruise for a couple hours. I loaned my tent to Micah and needed to get it back. Pismo is halfway between us.

    Are you camping?

    Nice. The wind was so bad on sunday that it felt like we were being sandblasted. It was still a good time though.

    wind is always brutal during the summer. We drive with our riding goggles on when we're out there so avoid sand in the eyes.

    Don't say that. I don't want my mountain to be on fire

    4Runner won't start. Turn key and it clicks. Starter problem? Battery is good, took it to autozone to get it tested and it turned out fine. What should I be checking now?

    One click is usually starter and multiple clicks is battery or battery connections. Also your alternator might be toast and thus drained your battery.

    I took the battery in and it was charged so I wouldn't think it was the alternator. Poured coke and wire brushed the battery terminals.

    Can't jump start it to see if it runs? If you get it running check the charge voltage

    I know I've had issues with good batteries and bad terminal connections. I had to replace the terminal connection and bam it ran.

    Have you touched anything under the hood lately? As ltdsc said, have you tried jumping it?

    I might try to change the terminal connection and see what happens. The negative side looks a little iffy. I tried jumping it and it'll turn for a half a second and no go. Haven't checked the fuse box yet.

    I'm a half assed prime member. I get prime shipping and shit like that but not the video service. I got that because I'm a "college student" and its free. What kind of deals are there and do you think it applies to me?

    It's pretty much over but I think it applies to you. If you go to Amazon, you can tell right away
