What did you isr to clean the engine?

 

To far for me haha but I came and concord so I'm ok with not making it 6 hours puts me at a few parks I haven't been to yet!

 

1.Lightly hose it down,
2.liberally apply simple green/purple power, let sit for a minute, scrub if you can.
3.Hose it off. Obviously avoid alternator, fuse box, battery etc. You can spray it quickly but don't douse those areas.
4.Start engine and let run for a few mins.
5.Turn off. Once engine cool enough, spray the shit out of everything with Armor All tire foam (it's water based). This will do the rest of the cleaning for you. The foam gets in all the crevices.
6.Wipe off the excess after 30 min if necessary.


LBL before and after:





Disclaimer: my alternator still died, about a week later. Mud had already fucked it all up. I keep a spare in my toolbox now since I can change an alternator in 20 minutes. I have probably killed 3 alternators due to mud. I've never killed an alternator from this cleaning regimen...It's always mud.

 

There are some others I'd like to try your direction. Everyone just says they're small and it's hard to beat Rush being 30 minutes away and the gorge only 2 hours away

 

That’s a lot of work just to go mudding again...

 

thanks, but no thanks. I'm not a fan of those arb bumpers.

 

I think they look like absolute doo doo dick in pictures, but not bad at all in person. Also crash rated, too.

 

Also needs repaint...... i aint putting white on MGM




Sorry @honda50r works for you bud, but not for me

 

Believe me, I hate the color match, too. But this is the old ARB catalog truck so they did all kinds of crazy stuff to nake it mall-crawl rated

 

Anyone around Spring Hill that could help me replace my wife's alternator in her 4Runner this weekend?

 

My MTB fork started rattling and it leaked so they sent me a new one and didn't want the old one back. So I took this one apart. No oil, just grease. I may add oil to the bottom legs of the new fork.

 

MTB fork?

 

Mountain bike... learn ya acronyms

 

What brand/Model? I just bought a Fox air fork

 

DNM Rc-32. Not a fox air fork by any stretch lol

 

Exactly, and my radiator is about the only thing I took much time to clean out...

 

Someone mentions mountain bikes and you pop out of nowhere.

 

Sooo the Alps tent doesn't come with a floor saver... "we offer a floor saver" doesn't mean "we include" it. Ordered that and a streamlight lantern

 

Talking to a man in a restaurant at breakfast and he asked why I walked to lake instead of driving.

This was a better part of the "road".
Rental car with low profile street tires.

 

Looks fun! Where was this?
