While at Paragon I started hearing a rattle on the drivers side up front when I was on a rough trail at speed but not when crawling
I looked underneath and pulled on everything found nothing noticably loose and only heard it on the trail and not on pavement or smooth road
Well today with the assistance of removing some of the mud I found the drivers side rear lower control arm bolt had worked itself loose
I'm really glad that that's all it was
 
I could only get the underneath today because when I was almost home yesterday I got a call from the oldest her car was being towed home by AAA
The idler pulley had the bearing blow appart and the beld shredded and wrapped around every pulley except the alternator
I had to go to the dealer to replace the idler because the the bolt and washer were destroyed along with the bushing that supports it and because she needs to work to be able to make her car payment to me it needed to be done first
I think I'm headed to the self serve car wash after work this week
 
It took me 2.5 hours to clean my rig last night. Didn't notice anything to banged up. (will recheck tonight). But I beat the snot out of belly pan and gas tank skid. Plus, Detours bars took a beating. :shock:

But hey, that's why we have armor, right. :lol:
 
I spent $12 washing and $2 vacuuming. But when I complained that the engine cleaner wouldn't come out of the hose, the guy gave me $10 back, plus the remaining 2 minutes from the test time he put in.
