    Sterling Plasma fluid https://www.cuttingfluidsdirect.com...ut-premium-plasma-cutting-fluid-5-gallon-pail It's concentrated 20:1 so a little goes a long ways. Air I'm running a big after cooler into a water separator before going into tank. Then a regulator filter coming out of the tank. Mounted to Plasma cart I have a desiccant dryer into a motorgaurd filter then into cutter.

    You may have a bulb with a shorted filament, this would likely be a brake/running light bulb

    This is one thing I did not check out.

    All my running lights work, but I'll buy some to replace them all just in case. They're cheap anyway.

    I had already replaced the front two a month ago or so. I'll buy new rears.

    The dual filament ones in the rears are usually the culprit. One of my rears had shorted internally from brake to running/tail circuit and every time i tapped the brakes voltage would backfeed into the running circuit and make my radio dim haha

    Oh wait you're referring to the REAR rear lights; those are the only dual filaments.

    I have a new set of regular bulbs, and I swapped them in place and same issue. What it has running currently (since I got the vehicle) are LED's.

    The grounds for those are in the left and right rear quarter panel

    I'll check again in the daylight, but I pulled both the rear light housings as well as the interior panels while sitting inside the trunk following cables and checking grounds.

    I didn't follow the trailer harness cable all the way out though so maybe it's on that end but I was in the trunk area already.

    I have an FWD Maxima with VLSD. It's a little beast in the snow. Then it drivers like a regular FWD when you are on regular pavement.

    In mud, the LX470 with rear LSD fishtails in mud too much for my liking when locked -- especially when moving through tight trees. The front eLocker saves it by pulling it straight (based on the steering direction).

    @Ozark_RegCab

    Sometime join us TTA folks for a trail ride. We're out every weekend. My buddy recently bought an 80 series to wheel with his dad. We were out yesterday between Hector and Sand Gap (Pelsor) taking in some new trails. Our club-maintained trail "Payne Ridge Road" was still well groomed from our trail maintenance run earlier in the month.

    @Kwikvette @Speedytech7 with our 80 series buddy on the trails.

    The worst smell of all time is a Husky fart after they eat all the cat's food, my god. Was like it displaced all the oxygen in our room was almost impossible to breathe lol

    I’m glad my truck came with Shrockworks sliders now that they’ve gone out of business. It seems like the consensus is they made a quality product but perhaps bit off more than they could chew in terms of the orders they could actually fulfill.

    Oh god

    You should've seen the armor all special Gladiator I saw yesterday .

    I never knew they had rotopax mounts that attach to the doors; each door had a black rotopax on it.

    Not to mention the awning, bed rack, rtt, but it had huge totes/cases hanging on each side of the bed rack.

    I see that around here. Loaded with stuff and afraid to go off-road. Like a $10,000 golf cart will make you a better player.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Then us guys with our shitbox cruisers are out having all of the fun.

    And it's specifically in Clovis.

    Fresno city will have the shitbox 2nd Gen 4Runners with cheap spacer lifts, super tall, and barely hit the dirt.

    Clovis city has the super upfitted but pavement princess Jeeps.

    Then you've got the real crawlers that you only see on the trails.
