    You should have a battery light on the dash. Which is charging system fault with obd 1 and 2, if you don't have that, it's not your alternator.

    Hi my name is Dumontrider & I am a wheeler.

    Since today's 10am departure for Vegas got called off at 10pm last night (rage!)....I decided to grab the Boxer & go check out the radio towers at Santiago Summit. Went up Main Divide then down Indian Truck Trail. 1st time there, amazing that's just 40 minutes from my driveway! The pup was sucking air from the heat & trying to remain upright on the trail for a few hours! The new 34" ridge graps lost a few sidewall nipples, as well as their dirt cherry. It was a cathartic day but didnt get my mind off of missing Vegas.

    Great pics man! Bummer on the trip being cancelled. But at least you got out. Where did you start the trail from? I did this on Memorial Day and we started from Blue Jay Campground. My unlocked PreRunner did just fine with good tires and a lift.

    So I went to get hardware today. When you say enlarge the hole and put a 3/8" bolt in... what hole am I enlarging? On the control arm itself or the skid? Because the skid hole looks big enough, the LCA hole does not. I got the 1/4" for that one and then I think the two others I got 5/16x3 1/2"

    Makes sense. The top hole on the LCA is huge compared to the bottom. Maybe I'll bolt it up with the 1/4" tomorrow and drill it out later

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I installed my subwoofer in my Miata until 12:30... you didn't miss much. :(

    Sounds like the 17th works best for most to do MJT, let's go ahead on plan on that for now

    Tread still looks okay but I'm starting to worry about those sidewalls lol. All 4 are just like this. They've looked like this for close to 6 months now and haven't let me down but I'd like to go slightly up in size to 265/75. We'll see
