Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Anyone got that guide with pics on how to fit 33" tire in the stock location? Probably won't be getting a tire swingout on my bumper this summer and I want to stick the tire under my truck since I've got some long drives to complete.

 

Serioouusss? Lol I just bought a basket on Friday. Damn..

 

Still available! Lol.. tell your friends. I sold the roof rack yesterday, still trying to unload the Load Warrior and the High Roller.

You buy yours new, or used?

 

I saw scattered FJ's here and there, but not a group. I wish I had seen a TCT. Where you down there too?

 

Some of my friends were down that way. I wasn't but I wanna go down that way.

 

It's definitely worth the trip. I wish I had spent a few weeks there, instead of a few days.

 

I've been quite a few times and really like the area.

 

Going to be down in SF and Oakland Thursday. Wave if you see my truck! I'm staying at the Marriot in downtown Oakland or something. Bachelor party, woot.

 

Gone be in my town!

 

After hearing you talk about it during that slick rock camping trip, I'm scared my truck will be shot at haha.

 

The Marriott has an attached parking garage that's pretty secure. Street parking is pretty scarce.

 

Imma duck. Sorry

 

lol you'll be fine. We should go hit up the HK cafe's in chinatown. Some decent food & desserts.

 

I'll be busy as soon as I get there Thursday and probably up until about noon Friday. I don't really have to be back home until Friday night so maybe Friday afternoon? I don't want to make any plans because this whole trip is going to be played by ear. I'm just heading down there and jumping in the limo for the drunken adventure. More than likely I'm going to wake up Friday when the maids start pounding down the door and hope to god I'm sober enough to drive home.

 

Probably bad alignment - steering position sensor zero position too far off of true center.

 

I think that off light is a little different and like right next to the one that is currently illuminated

This sounds about right. After slick rock I drove back with my steering wheel at like a 45* angle even though I was driving straight. Although I don't remember seeing the light on. I took it in for an alignment, the steering wheel appears to be straight up and down when driving straight now, yet the light is still on.

Do you think it's a valid reason to bring it back to the alignment shop and ask if they can take another look?

 

Didn't Jason put something about resetting the sensor in his DIY alignment sticky?

Yup, page 2, post #38 here

Why is Jason so smart? It's not fair.

Ok so it sounds like its somewhat easy (and btw, that thread looks awesome, but I doubt I'll ever be at the point where I can do my own alignment). Only thing I'm concerned about is that when I first start up the truck, and let it idle for a few mins while it warms up, the light never comes on. It only comes on after about 20 mph but then will stay on, regardless of speed until I turn the engine off.

Would simply resetting the light fix the issue or is it an indicator that maybe the alignment is still messed up?

 

Why don't you try resetting it and if it comes back on, go back to get the alignment adjusted?
