Go big or go home. Wonder if someone is trying to compensate for something.:elkgrin: Either his work is going really really good or he has a whole lot of free time on his hands.

You could have a thermostat or water pump that is starting to fail. Check your cooling system for hydrocarbons before condemning the headgasket. Napa sells a relatively cheap kit to do this, it looks like blue coolaid with a glass beaker. Just be careful of hot coolant and follow the...

Any good shop auto repair shop is going to send aluminum heads they take off to a machine shop to: 1) be pressure checked. This checks for any cracks in the head that go through to the coolant passages. Cast iron heads get magnafluxed to check for cracks. 2) vacuum check the valves. This...

I saw this one or its stunt double today in S. OR. Headed towards the coast on 199 just before Cave Junction on the right back in a field. Had a trailer on my truck and the field was full of cars so I didn't pull in to check but it sure looks like this one. Or the US is being invaded by cool...

Nice. As a new home owner you will want the trailer to be dual purpose. Camping one weekend and hauling prunings or whatever the next.

Be careful about running your vehicle too long with a blown head gasket. O2 sensors and catalytic converters don't care for coolant. Cats+coolant=$$$$. Don't necessarily go with the cheapest shop, find one that does a good job. A cheap head job or engine rebuild is always more expensive than...

That is true if you live in SF. I work up here in Humboldt County and one place I worked actually had a customer in SF who would come up here to get work done. He said it was cheaper to come here (fuel, hotel, food, repair) than have the work done in SF. Hijack over.

Really good book. I bought mine a few years ago at Costco. Drive up 101 through Avenue of the Giants. Some nice campgrounds and Eel River access for the kid to play in. Quite a few places on the Eel have broad shallow sandy places which make it a good river for parents with young kids. You...

Especially with gas prices the way they are. Make sure your brakes and tires are good. If the timing belt/water pump haven't been done at their recommended interval then get them done before you leave. Same goes for the tuneup. Have your mechanic do a good inspection of your car before your...

If you plan on a few weeks at a time here in the US you will be going by some civilization where you can stock up on supplies. If you go to BFE and stay there for a few weeks at a time then you will need some more storage options for supplies. I guess it depends on if you are going to be...

Put some comfortable/safe seats/seatbelts in it and go exploring. Put a sleeping platform in the back and go. It looks to me like its ready to go right now.

What kind of FSJ? I would probably make sure the drivetrain is up to snuff because it is an almost 40 year old vehicle. Nothing ruins a good trip like breaking down in BFE. I would put electronic ignition on the engine. I would also probably put a throttle body EFI on or a Q-jet carb. Both...

Looks to me like it should have stayed in the barn.:)

Keep the one still under factory warranty.

Hmm I am sure the decision not to go in the brothel museum was entirely yours.:sombrero: Eagerly waiting for the next installment.

Looks like fun. How do you like Indian food?

My brother in law has the same complaint with his SD. I told him to take a look at Transferflow. He actually has a high school buddy that works there. Why did they have to reflash the computer? Can you give any more details on the electronic part of it?

Subscribed. Cool rig. Put some manual hubs on that rig to pick up some mpg's. Also if its got a NP203 transfercase that hasn't been converted to part time operation yet you can convert that to get even more mpgs.

If you are going to be using it for a daily driver/long trips get a TJ. I like the Unlimited ones myself.

:drool: Want to see more pictures when it's finally here.
