Alabama goes to toys for tots @windrock

yeah but there is always an auto store, and they are in stock like 99% of the time. I may ask Brian if I can grab his spare one.

 

That is true. Number 1 selling point of 2nd gens. Parts galore.

 

yep. we replaced my alternator in the ass crack of kentucky on the way home from Black Mountain last year. side of the road in an abandoned gas station lot. advance had one in stock lol

 

I had an alternator go out and all the stores were closed. Town was so small nearby they didn't even had a parts store anyway. May pack a spare alternator too... Hmm.

 

haha, yeah the stores gotta be open...that's a requirement lol.

Brian actually has my old alternator I gave him to clean up and what not for us to take on trips as a spare. It was drowned in some mud...should still be good after a clean up and be enough to get someone to a new one lol

 

That's what happened to mine. But I think the regulator got fried in the process as well. We were extremely rough on that truck trying to get it out. That alternator ended up being a core for the parts store. Their reaction was great when they opened the box and found grass and mud stuffed inside the alternator.

 

I'm hoping to put stuff together tonight that I'll be bringing and can let you know what else I've got laying around. when we went to Moab I even brought my stock coilovers, leaf springs, and rear shocks just in case. I literally keep EVERYTHING.

 

All that stuff is long gone. If my coilovers break, the rest of my front end will be smashed too. I'll definitely bend a spindle or buts a LCA before those break. Which reminds me, I need to gusset my alignment tabs and spindles sometime soon...

 

you need to do that for me as well.

 

Meeee. Tooooooo

 

bring your welder @Jerneyman!!

@tweakit88 has a cool new battery that'll run it! right?

 

I was going to buy a Lincoln Generator/Welder till i learned I couldn’t figure out a way to plug it in and use it without the engine running

 

Sorry we will be there sat morning

 

What time you leaving?

 

I ment saturday but type sunday

 

If I had a big enough inverter, I can run it off 110.

 

sounds like you found the spare part you need to bring

 

Ill have enough tools to rebuild the whole truck if needed

 

5ish

 

I can do that. Let me do mine first though.
