    I had so many issues yesterday. People in SB don't know how to drive.

    Some guy was irritated because somebody was blocking the intersection so the car in front of him couldn't go. I was in the turn lane and he decided to pull into my lane to swerve around both the car in front of him, and the car in the intersection. I hit the brakes hard and no collision. Thinking back, he would have just clipped my front bumper. I could have had a front bumper to pick up along with my rear one in september... Should have let him hit...

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Could be. You never know if they switched the hot/ground side and how that could affect the on/off of the daytime lights.

    Wait you were three quarts low?? Dang I think that's the most I've read about. Were you having any issues with the shifting prior to taking it in?

    I was thinking if I'm able to do any wheeling this weekend it would have to be early Sunday morning, someplace local like Rowher or Lookout. Too busy tomorrow though :(

    I had an issue with my lightbar ground.

    @MADSTEEZE if you have a tester, hook the ground side to whatever you are using as a ground, and a positive side of a 9v to the positive. It will tell you if that is a good ground.

    I have no tolerance for road ragers. I encourage them to get out so I can pepper spray the shit out of em. Stand over them and laugh. Learned that one from my buddy Tommy. Though I would prefer to beat em up I'm not a fan of jail time.

    I plan on taking my sister and brother in-law out to Rowher tomorrow morning. I expect that we would be arriving around 10. Only thing is, I almost feel like it's easier to come up the backside of Rowher than it is to go down it. Primarily because going down gets tricky in those two spots and also because they're in a rental 4runner.:rofl:

    Not yet. I called it quits last night. I think my only other option is to also connect them to the pink wire as well.:notsure:

    Yeah they got insurance. They have a 2009 Land Cruiser that's in the shop repairing some minor scrapes on the front bumper. They got a 4x4 4runner as a rental and want to hit some dirt.

    They knew I'd be game. haha
