There is person on both the CJ2A and early CJ5 sites. He uses the name scoutpilot. He seems to know his stuff about these Carters.

98GP, a couple questions. Is your Excursion gas or diesel? What year? Not that I want to buy it I just want you to be aware of it's potential resale value. Diesels will always go for much more. Early '03 Powerstrokes apparently had a 6.0 HO version, quite desireable. My neighbors son said that...

Sorry dude, you missed 2 unique areas, they need to go back on your list. Some people have spent years in that area and still haven't seen all that is there. I've been going to that area for over 25 years and my list just keeps getting longer.

We bought our MB in 1968, my father had as much fun driving it as anybody, it could have been from the can of Coors beer nestled on the left side of the drivers seat. Both the CJ3B and Commando seem to be getting a fair amount of thumbs ups lately at stop lights and in parking lots. Enjoy.

I don't know if the D35 in my '69 Commando was the same as the Cherokee D35. I don't even know when my 35 decided to start coming apart. A day of moderate wheeling then as I was heading home I heard a new noise. I hadn't heard any stange pops or snaps on the trail. So I limped home. Parts of...

I can't or don't want to remember how many rear axle shafts I broke on my MB. If you can, get a origional shaft, the newer ones are junk. That D23-2 isn't the most robust axle around. The Jeep I should have kept.

I suppose I just don't agree with some of you people. I've driven my stinkey, noisy, drafty 1961 CJ3B for 30 years. It gets me where I need to go, If it won't do it, I probably don't need to go there. I've turned around on more than one trail. If I need to really get there, I can walk. The PTO...

Los Algodones is a decent place to be in the winter. My friends have been going there, 2 or 3 times a year for over 20 years.

I hate to throw fuel on the fire here. Consider what any of these vehicles will be like in 53 years. My 1961 CJ3B still get's me around well and it has been doing so for over 23 years. Buy what you want, run it and be quiet, please...

Aw, geeze, no pictures from the confluence overlook? You should have had a real 4X4 like a 1961 CJ3B with you. Just kidding, it really is a fun area to be in, enjoy.

Shoot me if I ever go to a Disney location. What that family of 4 paid for breakfast would feed me my breakfasts for over a month, then again that money would pay my cell phone and satellite service for a month.

Spend time with your father while you can, actuall modify that to spend time with both parents. In 1992 we did a fathers/sons trip to Buena Vista CO. All of us young pups did the camp chores,the OG's seemed to enjoy us handing them food and beer My father died less than one year later, I'm happy...

About 5 years ago we did Lockhart basin. 90% of the trail you will be in 2WD HI. There are a couple of canyons that you need to head, so you end up right under the cliffs and a few rocks may have fallen on the road. My neighbors son thought that he needed to drive his F350 crew cab long bed 4X4...

Sometimes I feel bad about this one, unfortunatly no pics I can find. We were at Glendo Res. in WY several years ago. I had my Yamaha XT 550 on the back of my camper. I decided to take it for a ride on the sandy beach. I noticed a creek comming up during the ride so I turned towards higher...

Moki Dugway and Valley of the Gods are good places to spend a few hours, even if you are just sitting and thinking. Up on top of the mesa, there are some good canyons to hike in and some nice Anasazi corn cribs, buildings and such. Another good area is Indian Creek, East of the Needles...

Let me throw another brand in here. Kelly Springfield Safari MSRs. Mine are the old design so there isn't all of the siping in the tread like the new ones have. Several trips to Moab with these on and absolutely no sidewall damage from Top Of The World, Elephant Hill/Confluance overlook trails.

Goosedog. I thought that your Jeep looked familiar, I've seen it over on the CJ3B site. There is a picture of my 3B someplace earlier in this thread. I would post it again but photobucket seems to be crankey right now. The picture is 1705 in this thread.

There is a reason I don't let the tire shop install the wheels anymore, I'm the person that has to change them on the side of the highway. I like being able to get the lug nuts off, that and the parts I have had to replace due to things being over tightened by one shop. Left handed threads also...

I'm just wondering how many others have had the joy of having a front tire blow out on their FG while they are on a highway. Both of my times have been on the way back from Moab to CO.(yes, twice) You know the show, jack sinking into the dirt, over tightened lug nuts, big pipe extension to get...

I just reread this whole post, still the best. Thanks.
