Wyoming B.S. Thread

It's all relative but I did find that some of the stuff I ran in moab wasn't a cake walk.

 

i dont think the cv is going to snap going down hill

 

Well sir, I struggle to drive up obstacles while simultaneously taking third person pictures of it. Only stopped here cause the frame was holding me on the rock.

 

No go on this one, unfortunately.

Hope you gents have a good time.

 

Booo

Save that CV for me, I'll pick it up later.

 

Update from me: truck is dead. Electrically. Was struggling to crank each morning the night was below zero. Got the AMG put back together then hitched a ride to get the truck and haul a load, left it out front with the flashers on for a few minutes and it was no start from there. Had to solo jump the damn thing and then moved it to its new parking space.so the truck needs a new battery and new terminals. It's no surprise as it has had electrical woes for years and the cables Zane made me would likely solve it. @Speedytech7 do I have to open any looms or will I be able to unbolt and bolt in the new cables?

Good news I'm in my own place now, have a place for both cars and an awesome "yard" to run the dogs off leash. A couple months from now we will have a lot more clarity on the situation but I have to say I'm feeling good and things are looking up

 

To do it cleanly, yes I would open the looms, but you can install it just by zip tying it to the existing loom and hooking it up instead of the existing wiring. Be careful tightening the terminals, tighten them just tight enough so that they don't twist on the battery terminal, no tighter.

 

I'll have to see how doable that is. Will be a parking lot job so limited.

 

12mm, 10mm, maybe some zipties, all you need. Pulling fender skirts up or skids would make it a cakewalk

 

Fender skirts have been gone for many years. Skid would help with the starter wire I'm sure. What does the third wire go to?

 

Did you move away from Boise?

 

To the fuse box, but you can skip it if you're short for time, it's an easy replacement tho.

 

Technically yes I moved to an apartment in Nampa due to some....life changes.

 

Ah, picking up what you are laying down. Keep your chin up man.

 

Nice. Glad it's settling.

Sounds like an easy enough fix.

How's things going in your world???? Any news?

 

Still just waiting, things look good, but no signs of it kicking off yet. If we get to 41 weeks which will be next Friday they will induce, but for now just letting nature do it's thing. If you guys make it over here let me know and I will come say hi, haven't had enough time to make it your way yet.

 

Awesome! Hope it goes smooth. Will definitely try and hit you up next time we are there.

 

Blah, thermostat stuck open on the Mercedes. This car is really beating me up lately. Might as well get it done while I still have access to the garage.

 

Well it is a used Mercedes haha how many miles are on it?

 

Happy Thanksgiving dudes!
