571 rides pretty good on 3 wheels.  That was a long walk back to get my tire.

About 50 yards.   Never even felt a change in the car.  Honestly I thought a branch was wrapped in the front shaft.

thought randomly occurred to me, so I checked...

autometer has at least a dozen full sweep voltage gauges.
they also have 60a ammeters, and one could be run with that small an alternator - but I'd be looking to upgrade the alt if it ever fails so I wouldn't go with that.

wow, the housing bolts and all 5 of the electrical connection bolts were all loose on the actual starter motor.  the starter mounting bolts were actually tight.  Tightened all and re shimmed starter. good to go.

cleaned and mounted 4 KMC beadlock wheels on the new KRTs

bet the lose connections didn't help low voltage do magic. glad it was an easy fix.

fluids didn't happen.
