    tires tires tires you have all heard this before

    From an old tire guy, rotate your tires and have an alignment done and then play with your tire pressure. I have been running K Springfields for years and I get no noise from them.

    Mitz Fuso FG Insurance- California Recommendations

    Different state but I just had to drive over to the State Farm agency and they took pictures of my FG. OK, that was 19 years ago. I have never had a problem with them and again, I have never had a claim. Last spring I went into pay the insurance $ and the young agent didn't know what a Mitsu...

    Living with a Powertank

    Interesting reads from people. I've had more problems from propane tanks venting in the heat but never inside a vehicle. I was sitting here at my desk scratching my nads one morning and heard something hit the floor and scream for a few minutes in my laundry room. It was a freshly filled CO2...

    Trans America Trail - Oklahoma to Oregon

    I've driven a lot of larger trucks than yours with longer trailers than yours. (It was my job) on narrow roads. So you might want to reconsider doing the alpine route in your rig, tough to back a rig up for a switch back when a Jeep needs to do it as well. At the very least, don't bring the...

    My Journey

    Great write up as usual and I'm happy that Mex is doing better. A strange thing about decals, some put them on and some of us take them off the first day after buying a vehicle. OK, sometimes a beer or 2 gets involved...

    My Journey

    We had to wander throughout Juarez to get a rabies shot for a 6 year old Dachshund to get back to the states. She had her tag but we didn't have the paperwork. My mother was irate, "She has her tag, isn't that proof enough"? You can put a tag on any dog and the same can be said about any...

    California to Nebraska in a round about way ... again.

    I looked at their map, the closest Runza to you is in Loveland CO.. They mentioned that they will mail you food.

    Tour de Canada part deux

    Chilli, I understand your place and I just hope you don't get a mod that is too upset. A friends daughter is collecting tales about her mother for her 60'th birthday. Ummm, 8 naked people out in the waters of Lake Powell with some champagne? I don't have any pictures so it never happened...

    My Journey

    I'm just waiting for an update about you and the dogs. My neighbor wisely didn't show his wife the site. Otherwise you would have an irate German lady there already but you might still end up with an irate French lady there from FL. I know to not cross either of them. I really like my body...

    Tour de Canada part deux

    Chili I tried to warn you and as much as I like the women in the photos you post, there is going to be somebody out there that wants to rain on your parade. There was a hint of a nip in your last photo.

    My Journey

    I'm sure you will have many offers to take the dog and if you are here in CO, I will take care of her. Some weekends I feed 4 dogs if the neighbors are out of town. Sometimes there are 8 over there. What's another happy pup to feed? o

    My Journey

    I had to be sure there was food out for the critters that seem to share our neighborhood and walked over to scratch one of Mikes dogs to make me feel better and got him on his computer with my username and password. He didn't say much that I can type here. It's up to him to tell his wife if it...

    My Journey

    Jerry, good for you. There are just some sick people out there and I hope Mex ends up well. It really does disturb me and many of my friends how some animals are treated. I've gone out in the dark to feed some dogs and make sure they had water. I suppose we will wait to see if your member name...

    My Journey

    It's too bad that the police rousted you from the parking lot considering that probably 1/2 of the winter residents moved there in their RVs. I suppose they want you to pay for a spot to camp. I've heard a lot of people camp out in the BLM land around the town. You already know about Quartzite...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Steinkunde, just a question about your user name. I speak some German so the Stein part is easy but even my native German speaking neighbors couldn't recall what kunde is. The best Petra could come up with was a gift or a friend.

    My Journey

    Have a good time there. At this time some retired teacher friends are traveling between Quartzite and the Baja for the next few months and a group of 17 other friends are meeting them in Yuma in March. More retired teachers, nurses and a old geologists. I wonder how I met this group of friends...

    79 CJ - quick carburettor question from a newbie

    Timgr, you are here as well? As always you have lots of good info to share. My neighbor has a '83 CJ7 and it had the BBD on it which worked for years and the stepper motor on it is a real problem. He swapped to a Webber and is quite happy with it. We were buying some parts for his Jeep and the...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Actually our family started out in a 1955 Pontiac and dad had 'Burbs until 1992. I managed to have slept in about any vehicle I have owned. Perhaps the nap in the CJ3B involved a bit of alcohol.
