    Performance???

    I've left the Toyota Fold, AKA my Montero Build Thread

    Not really. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that when it went in it might have been bumped to the point where the ground strap was almost touching but still able to spark. After it heated up or after enough carbon built up for it to close the gap the heat and voltage fused the metal...

    Tire chains, snow, mud, and airing down.....

    yeah, its back we got some snow and ice a while back and I was wondering if there was any new info. I didnt need any thing for my jeep (I only slid a few times) but there were a few trucks I passed that probaby could have used some chains.....or just slowed down.
