Wisconsin area events, Mod Day May 24 at Thatbassguy's

Guilty.

 

Day Trippers Unite.

Sunday April 20th @ 9am @pearing is swinging down to Eau Claire to pick up a canopy.
We will be engaging in an impromptu trail run in the Eau Claire and Clark County Forests, led by yours truly.

A good meeting place is at a Kwik Trip on the intersection of Hwy53 and 312 (North Crossing). North side of Eau Claire.

If anyone else is interested.
Come on over.

 

Sounds like fun, but Easter plans and all...

 

Sure is, isn't it? Forgot all about it.
On Sunday 4/20 I will be celebrating a different faith. Probably why I forgot about Easter.

 

These are the Easter plans

 

I mean....I got the exterior of my truck all humpty dumptied back together again.
Waxed up and semi-scratch free..............
Time to hit the trails.

 

Storm this morning washed off some of the remaining mud off of my truck. I also had my traction boards outside, leaning on a fence. KenTWucky25 mud is rinsed from them now as well. Maybe I'll get to an actual hand wash this weekend and do something about the interior.

 

Mine was not near as muddy as from Arkansas last year. All the rain on the last day and coming home did a good job cleaning it off.

 

I'm not a good promoter of events......


It helps to have whiskey and bacon...
and more than 2 days notice on a Holiday weekend.

 

Worry not we can get into enough shenanigans for the whole crew, I am sure.

 

There will be pavement.

There will be dirt...when there isn't snow.
There will be tight n' scratchy

There could be watercrossings (plural)

There will be unchartered ground.

Probably some mud after this rain.

There'll be sand.

There will be railroad tracks.

and more but I don't want to spoil the fun!

 

My starting issues are still acting up, and it's getting worse. Today the check engine and TRAC OFF lights came on and I no longer have cruise control. Most times when I turn the key, there is a 1/2 second delay before it cranks. Gotta hold the key until it turns over, then she fires right up. Once in a while it needs a couple of key turns before she starts. Any ideas where to start looking?

 

I'm hoping mine dries out on it's own.

My initial thoughts were disconnecting the battery, looking for any wire harnesses that could've gotten wet and start blowing them out with the compressor.
but I don't know.

 

That's a good place to start

 

There's quite a few.

 

Then you'd better get started

 

Nothing last year? Mine gave me fits last year. I knew it was going to happen this year, but it has rectified itself very quickly. Although, I still have the airbag light on... need to get that scanned.

The starting issues will go away once the starter dries out-per our resident Dealer Tech @CygnusX191 (or so I was told...) The other? Sounds like 4Runner monkey business... That yellow Kentucky mud.

 

I started just now with cleaning that yellow crud off the grounds.

Air blasting other areas.

 

Well...... It's how I've gotten my crew all running again

Assuming nothing has shorted or corroded to the point of contact failure

 

My starter acted up again today...kinda wondered if it would act up with the rain and humidity last night/today. Everything else seems to be drying out well.

edit: At least it's not getting worse...
