I'm impressed! And I wish you were my neighbor . . . :)

For a little more history, I used to keep the pump inside a crossover tool box but eventually that became poor use of premium space. I really like the notion of using a position under the truck near the tank. I could also screw it to the underside of the truck bed or even to a frame cross...

While two weeks into a three week trip, my Shurflo pump died. It's been in service since May of 2006; though it's seen several rough trips in Mexico and closer to home, I think the failure was premature. I have an idea why . . . What does a Shurflo water pump do? In case you don't know...

That kicks huge keester. What a cool way to cross over. Vaya con Díos, amigo. I'm looking forward to the stories and photos when you return.

:friday: I think these two things make it as viable choice as any vehicle performing rugged travel: - Strong, reliable motor and drive train - Good payload capacity - Stock tire height is plenty (32") After that we get into personal preferences and opinions, but I also like: - the comfortable...

What a cool adventure with driving, kayaking and hiking to an interesting destination. Great story. What's up with the lunar rover to the right of the ship?

. . . and some more. Thanks for letting us come play. 'Twas much warmer than ol "Why?oming" Oh yeah: I handed over my camera to KC to test drive. He snapped the one of Simon on sitting on the spare tire of Jonthan's Jeep. Bow down in his general direction.

Clampetts . . . I love it. Hey kids, we're kicking back in Moab and just came off the White Rim Trail. Thanks for the advice. Nic took us to his house first, and let us strip down in his front yard as he sprayed us with the hose - that should last us another 2 days before we need some form of...

Louis, Since you'll have a newborn on your hands, figure out a place to change diapers and feed. Brooke breast fed Chloe until she was about 8 months old - if your wife does the same, she'll need a place to do so. Sometimes the front seat of the rig is the most comfortable and quiet, but get...

You fellas! Such is life . . . In the Tetons it looked like this (Yellowstone's close enough): And then down in Moab it was more like this, and 113 degrees:

Dear God, I'd like a cactus now.

I did think about that, but figured that using the tracks in the bed and bolting them to the new deck was easier. The steel structure makes me feel better about the tent on top.

Okay, Marko D calls dibs on that orphaned, unloved bottle of Patron. Gracias, amigos. "Arriba, afuera, a centro, a dentro!"

Ah, the formula for good trips. John Muir-esque to the core: ". . . and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." Welcome to the mountains, boys. You are home.

I read this in yesterday's paper, too. Here's a map of the closed routes. They all appear to be near the old Butterfield Stage route portion.

My Visa is standing by for the good word . . . Thanks for posting the update. :bowdown:

It didn't necessarily take a long time for the story to be recognized, as it was well recognized in its day. At the fifty year benchmark, many good stories undergo resurgence. And this one is fifty years old. :archaeolo

Not a bad proportion if you ask me. :)

Surprisingly reasonable at $89. That's the same neighborhood as a CamelBak (depending on which pack, I guess).

As far as I know, it all went well. They needed the truck for two days, but I had them change the the main belt and tensioner pulley (also under a TSB). The dealership also addressed, for the third time, my ever-so-fun P1446 "check engine light" code for the evap control valve by replacing the...
