A bit off topic but back in my geology days i had to go map rock formations and rock contact zones. You did need to talk to the landowner to get permission to stomp around on their property. Part of that was to listen to their tales, Rattle snakes, hay wagons and horses that would just stand...

If you are down by Ft. Garland I would drift off to Taos. If you are up to the north around Walden. Just pick a road to explore. We used to do them in 2WD cars. The Blue Ick (1953 Buick special) or the Tin Indian( a 1955 Pontiac Star Chief) Just enjoy your trip.

Obviously there are a few things to look at but this is a 1992 so I'm not to sure how the numbers swap over for power and boost ranges. Other engines? If I head out to Moab I have to use the happy pedal so I'm not going down the pass at 35 MPH in 5th gear. (5.714 gears?) Brakes aren't hot...

They can be a problem. I was up West of Carter Lake here in CO and around 11: 00 PM. His 80's Bronco decided to destroy a tensioner pulley. Plastic piece of crap. I called a friend who came over in his Jeep so we could get home and get a new part. Steel unit this time. About 5 minutes to fix it.

Well, welcome to the fun. You could spend months traveling around CO and UT getting pictures and off roading. You might as well hit the Tetons in WY as well, Sand hills in Nebraska. Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods in UT, Moab, etc. I suppose we will wait to see the photos.

It looks like a nice setup but I would reconsider the lack of trailer brakes. I was flat towing my Jeep back from Buena Vista with a 3/4 ton van. I decided to pull off of the road to a muddy parking area and the Jeep pushed the van for about 50' with the van brakes locked up. Towing the same...

Go to places like the Camping World web site. They sell them there I believe. Mostly just a 2 gallon garden sprayer hooked to a hose with tiny sprayers inserted along it's length.

It is a different world in Europe. Petra moved here when she was 6 and she spoke German, French, and Spanish. She learned English here, Her cousins were over here from what was East Germany then. Lot's of translation going on until we set them in the drivers seats of the Jeeps. It was like an...

My neighbor thought I was nuts when I mentioned a loss of power in hotter temps. He thought I was deluded until he paid attention to his Ford Powerstroke. He looses boost as well. On a pass West of home, I can pull the East side in the early morning or in the winter, 5th gear. Summer, in the...

You get that much boost out of yours? I put a test gauge on my old beast and only got around 2.8 LBs of boost. It's OK. I'm used to it's habits. If it is hot out, It is low on power like no boost at all. If I get above 11,000 feet, no boost. I've just put up with it for many years and deal with...

I'm not a snake fan either but I sort of know what kind they are. I used to go down to where the water tower was and bring home Garter snakes to scare our mother. She grew up with 2 brothers so she was used to them. I was up a few years ago house/dog sitting and the Border Collie was running...

I read your first post and understood how you did the task. A friend was the head maintenance guy at an aluminum recycling plant and decided to check the tension on the multiple belts on a compressor as it was running. He only lost around 1/2 " of his thumb.

Some good memories from Lake Powell. Set up sun shades using tarps and stacking all of the ice chests together in a pile in the shade and cover them with a sleeping bag in the daytime hours. Every night out skinny dipping with a bottle or 2 of champagne. The last night, burning the 2X2s we...

I also made interior covers for all of the windows and vent from the same materials. Wind shield cover and side window covers. In the middle of the day it is as dark as night inside if you want it to be. It works for the cold as well as to help the AC. I'm usually out with a frosty one by then.

Do what you wish to do. I used to leave the hitch on in my work van and every time I went out to get a tool I would bash a shin on it. Put it in the van and I would have to dig it out in a few days to tow something. I had it in the receiver one morning on the way to work and a young lady tried...

You had to drive a long way to get that shot. Did you do Chicken Corners or Lockhart Basin?

Nice trip. It reminds me of being at Lake Powell a few years ago. OK, I've been to LP many times...

I have a pop top and It has around 1/8" of foam in the side curtains. I had a shop sew up some extra blankets for the sides with some foil faced bubble wrap sort of insulation encased in nylon fabric. Velcro to hold them in place. With 2 people in there at night the furnace only fired up a few...

It's good to think outside of the box and it sounds like you have a good parts person that told you some important information.

Sorry about your loss. I have gone over the last 2 days to scratch the neighbors dogs.
