Been a fun month. First the engine blows and is rebuilt. Then the new starter fails after 1.5 starts and is replaced with the old one that was on its way out. Just after ordering its replacement for that one it goes totally out and I had to push start it in a busy movie theater parking lot. Next item blew me away the gas cap fell apart while at the gas station and I had to chase the little spring all over to get it sorta back together. I then scheduled the installation of the top and low and behold the alternator gives notice of going out so I order its replacement and then to top it all off the morning of the top install the left side headlight burns out.

What could possibly be next?
 
Hmmmm, is there a prize for the correct answer??
 
Don't dare it or you'll end up like Dale (Tinster)!

Should of listened. The bolt holding the alternator bracket to the alternator broke when I was leaving fargo this afternoon allowing the belt to loose all tension. Nothing like a hour and a half at the side of the road and then a ride in the tow truck over a 1.50 bolt and nut.

On the plus side I did meet a guy with a seriously kick butt diesel camel trophy range rover who was nice enough to pull over and offer a hand.
 
Never would have guessed the next offending part would be a broken bolt. That's just strange.
