Trail leader that I was with was our guinea pig and in a single day he cracked the reat driver side shock, so that the part where the shock attaches to its mount went from an "O" to a "C" and was running on 3 shocks the rest of the day. Then he almost rolled it going up a really rutted steep hill, then killed the alternator sinking it in really muddy water....I should have taken a pic of the alternator after it was removed....there were sticks and grass coming out of it every which way....
Yep, you would be talking about me. I don't regret doing anything that day...well, maybe going into that mud/water pit. I just hope that you guys had a great time wheeling on Saturday. I know I did.
Like Gene said, there were 3 confirmed dead alternators. The good news is Miikkaa rebuilt one of them, Brad (RedX) let me use one and I'm not sure who gave the other guy one. But all three of us got an alternator.
