    Yeah, one of those short basketball ones. big, tall, short, and white.

    Anyways, latest word is that not enough people coming, so instructor is in his Jeep.

    So... Jeep, S10, and 4Runner. Not bad.

    LOL. This is a super easy road to drive on. Well, not super easy, but novice, as far as wheeling goes.

    And I'll be there, if I can get some certain people in my life to rebuild my starter (would do it myself, but it broke down in front of the mechanic shop)....

    Like last weekend, I went to drop off the chainsaw at the local mechanic's shop (since their dad sharpens a blade good or better than new for $5), and my starter finally died on me, right there, wouldn't let me leave. It's been having trouble for a while, but I'm having them replace the contacts...

    Told 'em I needed it Saturday, gonna bug them tomorrow morning. We'll see.

    Probably all the wheeling. (ie shaking?) What mine does is that it clicks once in a while, it's done it since I had it, but got drastically worse one day and died...

    That is interesting, the battery cable? What kind of battery hookup? ie tighen the cables around two battery portals or screw in the battery cables into the side?

    LOL, perhaps it might be worth it to just go through and tighten everything? haha. Eh, corrosion is no fun. too much salt on the roads?

    Nothing wrong with that. but to me, OEM is OEM. Nothing better than a Toyota OEM starter.
