Got some bike rails for my roof rake last week. Finally got around to trying one out. They came with keys that will keep my bike locked on so no one can steal it. It's working out pretty good.

Oh and I also went to the river this weekend with my friend and our girls. He's got a Subey!



Found out I'm pretty sure my car isn't engaging 4x4. Was gonna go out on the gravel beach and I was sinking pretty good and was pretty sure I was only getting power to the rear wheels.

I can almost guarantee its a vacuum line issue. I always had my problems with the vacuum motor on the front axle that engages the hubs....that or the one on the t-case. The motor itself is usually OK, mine have always been either bad hoses or even more often dry rotted rubber couplings...either way its a cheap and fairly easy fix.

I kind of forgot about that...and someone I completely missed that picture shanebo posted. I'll contact Alex and make sure she knows about it. I never did even check to see if the 4x4 was working or not. I never needed to use it and I certainly wasn't taking TQ offroad!
