    Southern Utah Traverse October 2017

    Thanks for the pictures. I've managed to get my sorry rear out there for over 40 years and I recognize a lot of the places you showed.

    1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Camping Goodness

    Do you really need to send it off or are you just tired of fixing things? I do that all of the time.

    1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Camping Goodness

    It's still a nice vehicle. Some friends went to Africa to work for USAID and they took theirs over with the 226 motor in it. They brought it back and it ran for years after. WTH, my favorite Jeep is a 1961 3B. I don't need to go fast and I can stuff everything in it. Stand back and just think...

    My Journey

    A guy I worked for had a 34' pusher and it died in WY. A week later his brother drove me up there so I could drive it home from the shop. I was under it later and found a nice greasy rag on the exhaust manifold. I do remember driving it to Denver for recall work several times. In comparison my...

    Adrift in Space

    You have to do what you need to do Canyon Eagle. I took care of my mother for several years but she was fun to take out on a ride when she turned around to flip off somebody that was tailgating us. Phoo, just keep going on.

    [YEAR 7!] Quit our jobs, sold our home, gone riding...

    I remember doing my bike instruction class and an instructor pulled me over and told me that I was having too much fun out there so I got to show people how to ride after that. Not my first time on a bike. We all got the standard speech on the last day that we need to go out and practice.

    SilicaRich's Overland TJ Rubicon Build

    I feel sorry for you. I have 2 10 gallon tanks and if I'm in the mood I can put another 10 gallons on the rear of the Jeep that gets around 15 MPG. I seem to give gas to other people that run out of fuel. I did go out and run one Jeep out of fuel so I knew how accurate the gauge was. I don't run...

    Brake Advice

    I can't say that I am too impressed with the brakes on my Mitsu. The first time I drove it, wasn't fun but it had been sitting out for a few years. It got a bit better after use. If I know I am going to need to stop for a red light I just start down shifting.

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Nice pup. Yeah, my neighbor hasn't figured it out yet. The only reason I wander over there is to play with the dogs

    1980 CJ7 build

    It's good to have a dog. I have been around them most of my life and they do add a lot to your life, well Jeeps do well, also.

    New FG in the USA

    It was a used FG that sat outside of a camper store for a few years and I would drive by and gawk. It finally followed me home. A couple had it made and they did Baja and TX in it so I got it with around 18,000 on it. Clean out the dog hair and don't complain about some of the colors used inside.

    New FG in the USA

    Nope, I already have a MF motothome and I paid less than 1/4 of what they want.

    Are you having tire balance problems on the left coast?

    Some people just don't know what to look for when they are balancing a tire. I've had 3 episodes about this.

    Analysis Paralysis

    You worry a lot about nothing. One of my Jeeps sits a bit low in the rear and the other is about an inch high in the rear. It has no effect on how they do their job, then again, I never park them in malls.

    Fuso FG maintenance compared to typical US diesel pickup

    My Mitso is registered as a RV. They gave me a temp policy to drive out there and a woman wandered out to take pictures. "Yep, its a RV". as far as maintaining it, you change the proper things and it just runs. The only thing I have ever had to fix on it was a cracked exhaust manifold. Not...

    My Journey

    I wondered about this as well. Mine measures at 9'6" when the top is down. Trees come into the game.

    New Custom Grille Concept: Would you buy THIS?

    I think I will have to add a no vote as well. If anything make something like a chaff screen and paint on your design. At least it would add a bit of protection.

    It's going to be a learning curve for you.

    My Journey

    Good luck with it. I would pull into the place that built mine and the guy that ran the place would chase off out to the shop. All that I wanted was some cabinet latches. I fixed everything else myself. Just easier and I knew it was done correctly. My neighbor was out resealing the roof on his...
