Question for you guys, the other day I raped my tired battery on the beach, so I went and got a new one, it was in need, but now, my alternator cuts off after running for a little while, connections to the battery are good, could it be a loose wire? Or do I need a new alt.

Sick $asterd!

Well i got an unexpected free morning and afternoon so i figured i would work on my headliner. Figured out which console im going with and started shaping the styrofoam. I ended up having to go back to the store to get more foam because its not deep enough. Kinda sucks cuz i dont want it any lower than it already is but what are ya gonna do. I dont have any pics of it shaped but ill take some when i get a chance.

They provide alot more light that the picture shows, any further out of the fender and they would get crushed if my tire gets stuffed.

Some is better than none ...

It just seems the wheel would cause too much shadow area . Guess it's one of those 'ya gotta be there' type things .

You to man your rig does work I was impressed it looks like a sleeper haha. We will be back next year too we will have to wheel, I didn't realize it was you until I saw your license plate and remembered you posting it in this thread.

I think my dad got footage of you going up high voltage on the log climb I will have to check next time I am at my parents place

put on black magic brakes and pads, bilstein 5125's, refitted the fuel cell, and put the creepy crawlers back on to go wheeling this weekend.

Something like that haha, I might move them out a little, but I need to take the tire off and drill into the fender for places to dip tie them. That's another reason they aren't closer to the outer edge

Yeah it always seems to do what i want it too for the most part, yours as well. I must admit i was a little intimidated at Quartz Crawl but then i saw you walk it so i figured id try. I havent pushed my jeep, but now that i have a daily/tow rig i can push it a little harder

Didnt hammer up like i wanted too, but them logs are hard, got hung up on the last set of logs, damn 40" hole. Next year, lets do it.

Got my Dad while he was here visiting to pony up for some new tires for my mini beast. Now it's on to replacing that O2 sensor and track down why she wants to stay at 215...flushed the cooling system, replaced the tstat and have the fan clutch. The water pump is working just fine and is less than a year old. Oh..does any of you guys know what size bolts are part of the door latch? I need to replace the ones that hold the assembly into the door.
