[QUOTE="Trailtoy1993, post: 788927, member: 16430"] Howdy Y'all! Well after a lazy few days I am getting round to posting some of my adventure to the Rubicon and parts down south! We drove down rather leisurely on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning and found ourselves a camp spot in Loon Lake Campground. After settling in we headed to the trailhead on Thursday morning [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/Trailtoy1993/Rubicon%20Trip/P1040137.jpg[/IMG] only to discover that the charging system, wasn't! :mad: After getting a jump and a little charge up from the owner of this super clean cruiser and his son [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/Trailtoy1993/Rubicon%20Trip/P1040139.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/Trailtoy1993/Rubicon%20Trip/P1040140.jpg[/IMG] we drove back down to Placerville to get a new alternator. (Beware, Placerville Napa is a crooked outfit, more on this later) Bought a new alt. that was not the same as the old one, modified the mount to fit new allternator and I still was not charging!!!! :mad: I discovered then that a certain power-window-module-removal-operation, had all of the plugs unplugged from the fuse box! Damn alternator was fine and the crooked bastards at Napa "tested" (out of my sight, mind you) my old one and sold me a new one even though mine was fine!!!!! :wtf: Oh well, we made it out on to the trail on Saturday with some of these fine gentlemen [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/Trailtoy1993/Rubicon%20Trip/P1040195.jpg[/IMG] and proceded to wheel the 'Con!
