    Umm, can I go a week or so with my battery light flickering on and off??
    Took it in to The shop I always use, alternator is bad or failed the 'test'. But it passed at AutoZone.
    Looking at cleaning all connections to and from the alternator, maybe that's causing the light flickering

    Probably, but you may have issues starting it at times. I would check your grounds first and clean everything else up.

    I just dont really have the need or pocket for 35s. And I dont want half my floorboard taken up by tubbing. I'm 6'5" so I need as much floor as I can get

    I'm going to here it from the girlfriend but I was planning on getting some trail gear sliders and making one more cross member in the sliders so it has 4 instead of 3.

    Well I was going to change my front break pads and rotors today BUT the caliper bolts won't budge. So instead I hit them with penetrating oil and grabbed a beer. Looks like I have a project for another day.

    Yeah mine would have locked in for sure. I Thought i had slipping problems in Wa two years back, but i didn't notice it this last trip. So not sure really. haha Have to monitor it more. But yes, hasn't been on very much. I've had it since The Epic though..I think...so it has quite a few hard miles on it. I got it the summer i worked in AK.

    Tubbing shouldn't take out half your floorboard. Technically it would only be an extra inch, as that's the difference in radius between a 33 and 35. I am 6'4", so I feel the pain, but I didn't notice much of a difference in foot room after tubbing.

    I'm just saying if you're gonna go to all that trouble, you might as well take out the extra little bit.

    I just finished Westworld, worth the watch. Lots of great views of Canyonlands National Park, near Moab.

    There should be a small hole in the bottom of the mirror and a Phillips head screw should be in there holding the glass in the mirror.
