The Land Cruiser was for mall crawling, the GX470 is for outdoor adventures...oh wait

 

Nice Prado mate

 

Would also really like that Mini in the driveway as well

 

you can't distract me from that little dent

 

Tires seem like a stretch tbh.

 

Clear coat it!

 

@Ozark_RegCab The area where I grew up in Little Rock was to the left of and slightly east of the twin-top (Pinnacle) mountain in this picture. It is a state park now. It is a mix of mountains to the west and delta to the east. A former coworker from LR just made this picture.

 

They have a pretty strong smell to them after driving. They’re still pretty new so maybe that’s it.

 

We’ll see. That’s a low priority for now.

 

Dang, yall got standing bodies of water that aren't solely used for electricity?

 

So I uninstalled the upgraded mean green alternator from my truck and I've been running the stock one. Mean Green charging voltage was fluctuating constantly from 10v to 14.4v depending on idle/moving, in drive, headlights, AC on, etc. The stock alternator that was working fine the last 141K but is now wanting to push 16.1v+ when I installed it. I'm using the battery off my flatbed to rule out the AGM. Alternator connector looks fine and I've triple checked all my connections.

I could go try the alternator off my flatbed but it's hard to imagine two alternators are both bad. The Mean Green was making an awful noise when I first installed it and continued to whine the last few weeks driving the truck. I just unplugged the OEM alternator plug and the 16v+ immediately stopped. Guess I'll get going on taking both trucks apart which is my least favorite thing to do.

Edit: Just plugged connector back into alternator after spraying some terminal cleaner on it. It stayed at 14.2v for about a minute then just started climbing again...

 

It smells like a rainforest down here tonight. There’s a delicious, woodsy aroma in the air.

 

@Kwikvette

Don't want to speak too soon but I had two dead voltage regulators it seems. The Denso Suzuki Vitara 105amp from my flatbed is doing a perfect job holding voltage. The Mean Green and my stock alternator both had strange but different behavior.

 

@Tour991, saw the holiday aftermath... asshats man, the whole lot of them. Have no idea wtf is wrong with people today but this is BS.

People are the worst. I feel bad for these guys

 

Damn, if I was home I too would've made some fat kid food.

Been craving banana bread and was hoping to make some soon; looks good!

 

@JKO1998 I've seen new shocks go for that or less, with reservoir
