Hi I have the same model of x5 she start but turn off .

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

That could be a bunch of different things. Any faults?

Hey, cool job, if you like you can take the generator apart and see if the carbon brushes are worn out.

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

I would love to tear it down and fix it. Any idea where to buy brushes? The voltage regulator seems pretty available but not so much the rest of it.

Hey don't you live in Arizona? I'll be out that way after Xmas and plan on taking the truck. I know I was planning one day doing a train in tonto national forest

[@DrivingForwardBuilds]

Yes Sir! In the NW part of Phoenix. I've done the train to the Grand Canyon and it was fun!

[@fergotti]

@DrivingForwardBuilds sorry auto correct. I meant to say trail. Is there one you would recommend to test out the tremor? Mild-moderate. Thanks. We will be in Phoenix too!

@@fergottiI’ve heard great things about the “back way to crown king”. azoffroad.net/backway-to-crown-king my parents did it in there SXS and said there were plenty of Jeeps on the trail. There’s no snow yet but is possible as the winter progresses.
