Got my winch rebuild finished and winch reinstalled. Now none of you guys get to pull me out when I get stuck this weekend... On the other hand I will gladly accept help hooking the winch to things

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Funny that. The only vehicle I ever pulled at AW was a Jeep. The Nissans were all fine.

I don't get stuck. I just can't go forward or backwards.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Fixed the drivers side window. Goes up and down without clunking. Missing a bolt on the motor and two were loose. Found the missing bolt and it is back together. Thanks Morph!

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Raingler nets installed. Went with roof mesh (just so useful) and rear barrier for the dog.
What CB setup did you go with (pics if possible)? I am looking right now for ideas.rcafcoburn wrote:This week:

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
I forgot to update... New rear calipers, rotors and pads plus grease job and general check over for the Z. The 'voy got trans and diff fluids and oil change. August was expensive. :/

Midland Handheld Unit - http://www.amazon.ca/Midland-75-822-40- ... B00000K2YR
mounted the 3' whip with a spring after this shot, on a Firestik mount from Amazon that I pop-riveted to the body and used a sealant to protect from leaking.
The CB is mounted on the center arm rest, behind the cup holders (I can get a shot tomorrow if you're confused)
The CB is great, I can attach a mobile antenna/battery pack and use it separate from the vehicle if needed.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
In addition to this:
F***ed my alignment with garbage Moog bolts (I've very bitter about this now lol)
Gotta throw another $200 into an alignment with OEM bolts on Tuesday. For now it looks like my X's front tires are collapsing.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Yeah it's a neat unit. I am torn between a bearcat 880 and the portable midland. I like to scan channels and FSR roads post frequencies...like to be able to adjust real quick and the bearcat looks good. The midland is small and semi portable and can be hidden when not in use.rcafcoburn wrote:PhullD wrote:Raingler nets installed. Went with roof mesh (just so useful) and rear barrier for the dog.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
It does, but ya live and ya learn. Sucks to fork out so much for an alignment, but I am trying to get some of my money back. Hopefully I can. Now we know, don't get Moog cam bolts lol! I'll post some pics of the bolts when I get my alignment done (again) haha.PhullD wrote:Thought Moog were supposed to be better? That sucks dude :Srcafcoburn wrote:In addition to this:

The mechanic even showed me what was happening. The bolts were turning, but had stripped a rounded hole in the camber washers (whatever they're called). Totally useless now!

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
It was a cheaper kit poorly installed by the previous owner. It was starting to fail as well. I like HIDs but they need to be a decent kit and installed properly. They should also have a mod to make the DRLs run at 100% power as HIDs don't like less. Or so I'm told. I guess this is why one failed but not sure.PhullD wrote:Why?Bow_Tied wrote:Ripped the HID low beams out of the Envoy today, back to regular halogen bulbs.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
ive gone through a hand full of hids. they suck. i use leds now. you can get them cheap on line. i buy them on aliexpress.com you can get free shipping for china to your door. i also bought my 38"led light bar from them too. I'll never buy brand name leds again.Bow_Tied wrote:It was a cheaper kit poorly installed by the previous owner. It was starting to fail as well.
