@ missindependent

The trails i'm thinken of, look rather easy level, but they are located at cheatham annex, just outside of williamsburg. i havn't had a chance to check em out yet. mainly dirt roads, and some sandy beaches. and the gasket thing, its located between the engine compartment and the cab on the passenger side, on a 95 or 96 however, might have something to do with the vent just below the winshield.

Good afternoon VA!! I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start.

On another note, is anyone having problems with excessive pop-up ads / windows on FTE today? I've been getting them like crazy for a couple of hours now and so are a number of other users.

Post up and let me know if any of you are experiencing the same thing. Thanks!

It was 19* this morning... that weak starter is a PITB. When the batteries aren't fresh off the alternator, that starter won't start worth a crap in the cold. But then again, at least it starts!
