Hey Bobby, next time we get together for a wheeling run you can check'em out up close. I hope you can build a set for cheaper than what I had to pay. Too expensive for what they are. I guess priceless though if they save my quarters and windows...lol.

I'm reading good updates from the DNR website that things are tracking right along to get the new motor vehicle trails at Reiter opened up, too!!
JEALOUS LOL

Got my alternator back from the shop. New diodes, new brushes. Maybe now the voltage won't fluctuate.

Took it on the longest trip yet, not too far, 450 miles round trip. A/C ice cold and only took about a tank and a half of gas running 31'in A/t tires.

I received my RC quick discos from the brown truck last night. Putting them on was a breeze. No more popping and pinging like I had going on before. Just pull the pins, put the links up on the brakets that hold them up and out of the way and put the pins in the brackets and done!! LOL...airing down will actually take longer then removing my links, now....and no more driving to the trail with the sway bar removed because I got tired of fighting with my old links.

Nice work, I expect to see you making your way down to the south end more often now. Hopefully the rest of the snow at Evans Creek on the upper 520 will melt off with the hot weather coming up this weekend

DEFINITELY!! Let me know the next time you Bonney Lake Boys are heading up to Evans or down to Elbe and I am in. I'm busy this weekend but, next weekend on just let me know.....and I aint skeared of snow so if it isn't all gone we can still give it a shot.Probably getting dry enough that a guy with big enough Kahoonas on 33s could stand a good chance of getting through the Busy Wild.

Reinstalled my refurb'ed alternator, but had to put the a/c compressor back in. I got an a/c-delete bypass pulley from Rock Auto and for the life of me I can't tell how it goes in there. Any help? Then the adjustment nut broke on the tensioner idler pulley, so now that has to be replaced too. #@$%^&*!!!
