Default hey what is the ramdon red dot above my ash tray for?

have a red dot that comes on when ever. it turns off and on randomly. what is it for. i dont thing over heating still running pretty cool

and some other questions...
where are some places to go off roading...besides, talhua, or how ever you spell it, goldsbar, evans, elbe, capt, straddeline, rock candy...how about some places up around the olympic montains...

what kind of suspention are you running. what should i get. like the mind range. the stiff soft rating. looking for a 3 in. or if anyone has left over parts. live in Oly wouldnt mind driving too far.

and something wrong with my front end something might not be engaging all the way. can someone possible meet up and check it out some time.

That is not a factory installed part. It could be for an alarm system or it could be nothing at all. Trace any wiring that goes to it and see if it connects to any equipment of the vehicle.

I have that same little red light. But the wire is cut, so never comes on. There's also a speaker under the hood from an old alarm system. I just figured they went together.

I don't normally post here (obviously) but wanted to give you a warning. If you wheel, DO NOT buy lift blocks, ESPECIALLY 3" ones.

I've personally seen axles fall out under rigs while wheeling due to snapped lift blocks. They put a lot of stress on a lot of the rear axle/suspension parts.
