    2015 NORRA Mexican 1000, Vintage Chase for a Vintage Race

    I will try to get a pics of my nav/comm setup to give people an idea of how things looked during my chase adventure. But until then here are some thoughts.

    Well I have been back home safe and sound for a week now so I figured it was time to post up some kind of trip report.

    new 4Runner trail :)

    Staying light weight is a great thing... I am still under my 7500lb GVW on my old Suburban and it really makes a difference on the highway and the trail. Will be fun to watch you take the lessons you have learned and apply them to the new build. Have fun with the family as actually getting out...

    Miller Motorsports Announcement

    Well if you are going maybe I should make an effort and just jump in behind you around Flagstaff. SLC is a haul but more fun with someone to chat with on the radio and maybe camp in route going/coming back.

    Thoughts on Wilderness EMT Schools?

    I did the NOLS/WMI upgrade for medical professionals....WUMP Great instructors in Flagstaff and has made a huge difference in my perspective going from an urban ICU RN to wilderness mindset. Take all the instruction you can get, never hurts to know too much.

    air filter options

    The best setup I ever had was a toyota factory snorkel with Donaldson centrifigal pre-filter....ugly as sin but amazing. Otherwise quality paper filter and use on board air to blow it out at night in camp. Oiled filters are evil...plain and simple

    Transmission gauge

    on my 700r4 I had to drill the pan and add a B&M sensor. Not sure on your setup but it was not hard and could be part of a filter/fluid service anyway Oh and I went with an Autometer gauge
