• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Info re: Spyders to the Rescue, Spyderstore.com, & jthorton

    Doing a search of my NAS I found a thousand .csv files and low and behold one is the Spyders to the Rescue .csv file buried very deep in the file tree... so I can restore it on gnipsel.com or if someone else want to host it I can let them have it. JT

    Info re: Spyders to the Rescue, Spyderstore.com, & jthorton

    Thanks for all the kind words guys, just to let you know I'm doing well and when my new truck arrived it had to go into the garage so I had to make a hard decision and sell something to make room as we have wood rats out here and they just love to chew wire... JT

    Drive Belt Broke

    No the mechanic at the dealer is very good and I have several thousand miles on it since that happened. The rubber and the teeth look like new so it's not old age deterioration. Something might have got in there to over stretch the belt but I didn't feel the thump associated with that type of...

    Drive Belt Broke

    Hey Doug, I got 160 on the ground and 180 with the tensioner in place, it looks right, smells right and passed the thump test as well as the Krikit test. Thanks for verifying my numbers, it's been a long time since I had to tension and align the belt. JT

    Drive Belt Broke

    Got the belt changed, the only thing I didn't anticipate was having to take the shifter arm off but it was marked with a dot on the shaft so no big issue getting it back on correctly. I'm using a Krikit II to set the belt tension and my notes have it at 100lbs with a 2013 at 235lbs wheel...

    M2/Elka/Fox front Shocks - RTL ride height

    Well they raised the front some so I don't need a bump skid and firmed up the handling. They have been on there so long I've forgotten what the OEM shocks felt like. JT

    M2/Elka/Fox front Shocks - RTL ride height

    If you don't like the rock and roll from the factory sway bar the Baja Ron sway bar is much better. That was the biggest improvement on my RT for handling. I then added Elka shocks to the front and that improved it a bit more. JT
