    I might do the 7 day sub, just will wait till we get going. I have about 8 days planned for 66, but know that's not a lot for it. We might turn off as we get closer to Utah, we might have a few more days to add depending on school snow days. Basically, we just don't want to drive the same way we did when we went cross country in lastime.

    Aw c'mon, you don't want to spend days on I40 looking at cornfields, and some more cornfields, oh hey another cornfield, oh hey some windmills!....more windmills.....Oh hey back to cornfields.

    At least I10 you get the stink of oil fields for a while to interrupt the monotony :)

    Anyone have issues with their steering shaft binding? The FJ has 4 hard spots while turning the wheel. I’ll get around to ordering parts, but for now it makes turning while driving interesting :laugh:

    I have the X2 27F AGM (Get the one with the terminals on the top, they tried to give me the one with them on the side at first, the cables didn't fit).

    I use mine to run the fridge though (as does @TacoTuesday603), so without that, I probably wouldn't have cared much, I think my factory was a 24F, and I probably would replace it with the same if it weren't for the fridge.

    Yes. I sprayed fluid film on the u joint on the steering shaft and it freed it up

    You should see trying to parallel park it. It’s almost as bad as when I had to cut the belt and drive with no power steering when my alternator seized last year :rofl:

    Yep going off memory it connects directly to the input of the rack.

    If your inside one is siezed up you have bigger problems
