    My fg84 Build, ironing out issues & new questions.

    As far as door sizes, make sure you can get something like your fridge out of it. I had to rebuild mine inside the Mitsu in the middle of the summer. Or I had to pull the entire door frame off to get it out. My generator, I have to pull off the door frame to get it out. Bad planning on...

    Sections 1 and 2 of the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route (NMBDR)

    A nice write up but where is the dog? You can't have a true great adventure without the dog along.

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

    Thanks Gene. As always a great write up and pictures. I was a bit worried as we hadn't seen anything from you for a while. I'm happy you and Neda are still riding around this planet that continues to spin around in it's greased grooves.

    Tour de Canada part deux

    If I'm in bear country I'm packing something on my hip but I have never had to use whatever I had on my hip. I don't want to kill anything anyway and I've had a bear within 4' of me. It just wanted to get to the next trashcan.

    Crossing the Cascade Mountains on the Historic Naches Wagon Trail

    I would send a picture but I'm having a computer fret going on with this new thing. A few hours this morning to just get back online. Frummph!

    Happycampers on Tour

    Nice report. You look like people I could sit with to swap a few lies with and perhaps have a brew or two.

    Tour de Canada part deux

    I wasn't going to say that, some people can get really upset about a comment like that. I seem to have them here for some reason?

    Manual Prime on 2007 FG140 not working

    It is a common rail system and that is why I like it. I've had to go out To help friends fire up a diesel that has run out of fuel in a truck or tractor. Not that much fun.

    Manual Prime on 2007 FG140 not working

    I've never had a problem priming my old beast but I know it is a different engine and fuel system. Filters, fill them up with fuel and screw them on. I changed to a larger fuel tank. Wire up the hoses and then hook them to the new tank. I was prepared to do the manual pump bit after the new...

    Fuso 3.0 , Duonic transmission, SCR ?

    There seems to be owners from around most of the world on here but I couldn't say if all get the same truck where they are. It's been a great truck and the only real issue was when I cracked the exhaust manifold. I don't know how I did it. The dealer in Denver just looked me. They have never had...

    Fuso 3.0 , Duonic transmission, SCR ?

    Welcome Preferio and thanks for the information. I knew that there is a reason I still have the '92 FG with a manual trans in it.

    Photographer & Olympian Chase Adventure From Baja to the Arctic

    Another rock head? I've been to many of places you have written about in your great report and the photos are excellent. I'm sure you are home by now but my neighbors were out at Page last weekend so their daughter could run a half marathon then they were up to Bullfrog to winterize the boat...

    My 1999 XJ build thread

    It really should not take you more than 12 hours to do the whole circle. It took us something like 14 but you have to count in the stops to fix Jeeps and to help the kid with the F350, long bed, crew cab get around a few rocks. Winching a friends Jeep off of a rock. Picture stops. Pileing a few...

    Expedition 65: A Wander Through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru

    Looks like good fun you are having. Keep it up. I've put many bikes down, all dirt bikes except for that Suzuki 380. But no photos of any so it none of them ever happened. I never did put the Harley down but it had the scrapes from canyon bashing on it.

    The PDXJ: Project 2001 Jeep Cherokee

    Yep, it can't hurt. I was redoing the brakes on the 3B and replaced all of the rubber lines with longer ones. Only a 2 inch lift but it was time to replace them all anyway. Rear axle is easy but on the front lines I had to clock things as I tightened them up so they wouldn't hit a tire at the...

    JK Overlanding/Spare Carrier Hood?

    I say to run with the thought even if it won't help me with any of with my Jeeps. You do very nice work and I'm not ever going to tell you to stop. I like how your mind works. My mind is like a cat that returns with something, dead or alive and stares at you to see if you like it. I'm just happy...

    Ammo can idea thread

    I think I would vote for the wrinkle black. I refused to paint my old MB in Olive Drab and now I think it is an overused color for some people. Fine if it actually is an old military Jeep.

    1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Camping Goodness

    What can I say? My father had Suburbans from '62 to '93. We had friends that shipped their Wagoneer to Africa when the father was working for USAID. They shipped it back home when they came back. Most of my parents friends had 4X4 Travelalls to pull their trailer. My father tried to give me the...
