drove some in and out Forest Service roads in the Mark Twain National Forest in southeast Missouri with one of my daughters over the holiday weekend. i'd drive in and then she would drive us back out.

this is were the road ended on the Forest Service map. in reality it forked into two different directions. we drove one until it became too narrow for us to fit.




the first two were pretty mild with some slippery mud and a couple deepish puddles. the third FS road by Crane Pond Lake had some fun and challenging bits. unfortunately, i wasn't able to get any photos of the good parts because we were too busy enjoying the ruts, rocks, and rain.

still haven't needed to use the winch. but, knowing it's there if i need it, means i can take a few more risks driving solo than i would without it.

It's always great to see posts about what people did with their DII, as the thread is titled, and not what they did to their DII!

I solved the P0441 error yesterday, new Bosch purge valve. Runs better, particularly at cold start idle. Hopefully this will solve the intermittent cat damaging misfires P1300 as well. We'll see.

I also pulled the windshield trim in prep for the Safelite visit on the books for Wed. I was as careful as I could be, and following the videos I had watched still managed to rip off a couple of tabs from one of the A Pillar covers. I'll have to see I can secure it well enough to not have to replace it. The fingers are crossed.

You were as careful as could be and you still broke a few tabs. Imagine how many the Safelite technician (who is under the gun for time) would have broken. Like you, I would do my own accessing every time.

Not as big of a deal as it was a few years back. The market has finally started producing replacement parts, for cheap. Even the cowl can be had for about $100 now, wasn't that way about 2 years ago, lol.

Here's an example of just one link on eBay for A pillar moldings....there's LOTS of them

Loctite PL3X construction adhesive is very good adhesive for plastic. Flame treat it first. Or maybe use 3m doubleside body panel tape.

Safelight actually did mine without breaking any tabs. I was very impressed!
