PM'd!

Just piping in here to say that I am also picking up M14x80mm bolts as the ones for one side are too short for the recovery points and I’m not quite sure what they were smoking when they spec’d 100mm bolts that run out of thread before they’re tight on the other side. It’s all good, I’m happy...

@J1000 and @Pyrenees - how are these fixes holding up for you guys? I might be diving into this fix soon.

PS - here's a cool snap of a lone Cruiser I noticed in my photos from HIH8 a few yrs ago:

Yeah, that's pretty much my assumption as well. It's a little worrisome, but I assume they're just trying to make sure they have their poop in a group for this year instead of having to backpedal or be wishy-washy about things. It's all good, gives me an opportunity to work on patience, haha.

I just found this thread trying to figure out why this stupid RES DVD player was constantly trying to spool up in my back seat. I believe it caused a battery drain this week. Thanks for the info guys on the 2 fuses tucked up behind the glove box. I pulled the 7.5amp fuse which seems to have...

Sorry I missed this while on vacation. It's been doing great. It's obviously too large for the tray but it has stayed in place. I do mean to add a little spacer to lift it a bit. My Sams didn't install it - I just tossed it in in their parking lot.

Oh, and PS - if anyone knows this fella, tag him, I think I got a pretty cool shot of he and his daughter but don't recall who they were (click for larger):
