The next morning was pleasant and partly cloudy. We packed up and headed out to complete the White Rim and then head back to Moab via the Potash trail/road. This was a long day of rough road. Murphy's Hogback and Hardscrabble Hill were pretty steep but rewarded with great views. I think I will...

Good to see another Memphian on the board. One thing I learned from this trip for the future is that I will split up the areas. I will either do the desert southwest or the mountains, but not both in the same trip. I think my next nig trip will be to the North Rim and the Arizona Strip area, but...

Day 7 of our trip started with a trip up Long Canyon and then over to the Island in the Sky visitor center for our back country permit for the White Rim and camping at White Crack. We then went down the Shafer trail and headed around the White Rim. We took the side trip down Lathrop Canyon to...

Day six of our trip was spent getting from Ouray to Moab via Gateway and the John Brown Canyon road. What a change in climate. It was hot, real hot, in Moab. There was also a lot of haze from the fires in Utah and California. The haze was worse the next few days. State line on John Brown road...

The following day we wanted to see in daylight some of what we passed on the way in to Ouray. We went back up Corkscrew, Hurricane, and California passes then ran up Placer and Picayne gulches ending up back in Animas Forks for a look around sans rain. After Animas, we headed back up to Oh...

The next day we tackled Black Bear Pass, Imogene Pass, and Yankee Boy Basin. There was some great scenery as well as some scary situations. Everyone says that the switchbacks on Black Bear are the worst. I thought that the satirs before the switchbacks were worse. I slid down them with minimal...

The next day we drove to Lake City to hit up Engineer Pass and spend some time around Ouray. I must say that as far as scenery goes, this area far out does the Buena Vista area. We had lunch at Poker Alice's and then headed over Engineer Pass, went to Animas Forks, then California Gulch/Pass...

The next morning we completed Tincup Pass then headed over Old Cumberland Pass to reach the Alpine Tunnel and then Hancock Pass back to the St. Elmo area. IT rained most of the day and was very chilly. Old Cumberland was pretty rough, but at the top was just awesome. The clouds were covering the...

After many years of research and planning, I recently completed my "Big Adventure", two weeks of camping and wheeling in Colorado and Utah. We left from Memphis Friday the 21st of August after work and proceeded to drive all night and most of the next day to Green Mountain Falls, CO. We had...

I manage a GIS department in a small company for a living. We use MapInfo, ARCGIS and, Manifold. If you are looking for a reasonably priced GIS package that is very functional and can handle almost any file type, take a look at Manifold.net. While we have access to the two major packages, we do...

Can't wait to see pics of the install.

I did not start or title this thread. However, this is where the discussion is happening so this is where I am posting. My stance exactly. I am afraid that this is the old adage about eating an elephant. One small bite at a time. There are those (not necessarily on this forum) that intend to...

We are having a mostly civil and open debate on a subject that interests many of us. As the intent of the Expedition Portal seems to deal with motorized vehicle dependent travel remote or distant areas, this would seem to be in line with what this forum is all about. [Edited to not inflame any...

Wow, some really passionate people chiming in about this subject. I find it interesting how perceptions, most likely influenced by those we associate with, differ. Mr. Hanson says 1. a majority of Americans support new wilderness areas, and 2. "a whole bunch of American citizens are ready to...

I must say that I am against the bill. I am concerned that the omnibus bill was made so that things that wouldn't pass on their own would get passed by being included (possibly buried deeply within) a larger omnibus bill. When it comes to the Wilderness designation, I feel that an area should...

There have been several from Monument Valley, but for me this was a long road to nowhere.

No. The KJ had an optional Trac-Loc differential which was a clutch type of limited slip.

The dropping into drive and nothing happening issue sounds like a transmission issue. What year KJ and what locker?

As an '03 KJ owner, I can tell you that there is not nearly as much aftermarket support for the KJ as there is for the XJ. There are several lifts available with the most recommended being the Frankenlift from All J's. Jeepin By Al has some bigger lifts that still maintain the IFS. The weakest...

Can anyone get in on this?
