AlaskanEx,
Love the avalance sign.
In wyoming between jackson hole and
Idaho the dot was flagging cars through an
Avalanche zone where snow had aleady slid...
Small bits were still rolling onto the road! Yikes!

Not really what I did to the Ex today, but related nonetheless. I moved it outside to put some stuff in the attic, which cleared out a new space to put the fuel tank from the wreck, which currently resides on a tire dolly. As I kicked the thing to the new spot, it hit a seam in the concrete, just as I was going up for another helper kick. It hit the seam, tank went flying forward (since I kicked it), dolly stopped and then got pushed out the back and right into my shin.

That b***h.

Grew up in Northern MN. Loved it after a big snow dump. That said I drive truck for a living and spend most of my time up on the Haul Road in the winter so I get my fill of the snow and wind... But would be a blast in a X.

WELL the sad weather in alaska here, above freezing, rain, no snow, this is the worst winter, seeing them pics of CT it almost makes me want to leave here and go there. but i dont know if theres any other beauty there besides the one snow dump in the pictures.. would like to find out.

Anyhow I need some help. i replaced the rear ACTUATOR and there is a little yellow bushing the actuator arm pushes into on the rear hatchmechanism, well now that i go to put this in that is missing no where to be found! anyone got an extra or a source to get one? the actuator dont work without it to much slop.


I would go to the dealer but last time i went to get a small part like this they said they would have to order 20 and i would have to pay for them all. and junkyards in alaska are a joke anymore.

Put a $3 digital voltage guage in so I can monitor the alt output so I don't sit along side the road again.

Might have to put a piece of tint over it to dim it down a bit.
