I heard the reliability of the Optimas went downhill shortly after a production move to out of country several years ago - don't know how much validity there is to that, but it's what I heard on the internet so it must be true, right?
I'll second the Sears Platinum, when my battery dies this...
Get better Mike - I got a little sick a few days ago, but no fever, so maybe just regular seasonal crap (I better not get sick before the weekend)
My list includes swapping my front LSD into the new housing with 4.88 gears, install 4.88 in the elocker 3rd I have and either modify the housing...
I know, I know, what's a non-member doing here cross posting from another forum? I'm not really active over there (actually saw this on MidAtlantic Toyota Crawlers). From what I gather, they'll be running at least 2 groups - 1 running green/blue and one blue/black - maybe more, but it doesn't...
PATTORA has their 2nd Annual Fall Run on Oct 24th and 25th, I don't think it'll be huge (which is good, I hate sitting in a long line of trucks waiting for the guy in front to move :D) and they might have some kind of raffle. I'm not sure, but I'll likely only make it a day trip - I'm thinking...
Nice pictures guys - now I'm really kicking myself in the butt for being a nice guy and not just taking off to have some fun. At least there are still a few organized runs left this year . . . .
C'mon guys, I need photos - I was stuck working on other people's junk all weekend (and my backhoe). Is there going to be an event report anywhere on Mud?
I think I'm out for this one, just picked up my Dig-It, my sis' car has a knock under the valve cover of her Subaru, and the rear trailing arms rusted/broke on the inlaws' Expedition at highway speed - too much stuff going on at once this weekend
the newest toy - now I just have to get it running
that's really making it difficult for me to just do a one day wheeling trip . . . might have to stay the night . . . besides, I'm starting to run out of t-shirts
Thanks Mike, it was good to finally meet one of the local guys down in WV. Also reassuring to know that there are places on the east coast where people are still nice to strangers. Next time I'll have to stop by later than mid-morning and introduce you to the joys of dark bitter beers :D...
Nice engine mounts, is that rubber in there? Who made them? And did they increase engine vibration in the cab?
I seriously need to limit engine movement to keep the alternator on my 7MGE from slowing eating the upper radiator hose . . .
