    Trip Report San Rafael Swell November 2021 Trip

    Yeah, that was more than likely us, we ate there several times during our stay in Green River. Sounds like our days were just inverted.

    I'm sure that is because they know what they are up against with today's work force trying to replace you. I will admit we lost a couple this year that I was not in the least bit sad to see go as they were absolutely useless and more talkers than they were doers but I still wished them well. I...

    Trip Report San Rafael Swell November 2021 Trip

    Continuing on with more pictures. Saturday morning we turned off of I-70 just a short distance west of exit 149. This took us through a gate to the entrance to Black Dragon Canyon. Here is our air down spot just inside of the gate. We drove through the Black Dragon Canyon and stopped a few...

    Trip Report San Rafael Swell November 2021 Trip

    Well, the wife and I just returned from our fall trip to the Swell. Thanks to everyone who answered my previous questions on the other thread. I felt much more comfortable this trip than our first trip back in April of this year just due to being somewhat familiar with the immediate area...

    Best of luck in your new endeavor Josh. Your description is nearly identical to our daily duties here as well as per our discussion. Like you, I actually enjoy the Industrial Maintenance field. It's hard work but very rewarding and not for someone who isn't motivated.

    Those will look sharp and period correct for the truck. I think I should be caught up nearing the end of the week so you can get ahold of me anytime to discuss when you would like to drop it off. Thanks Mike

    Trip Report A Swell quickhitter

    AWESOME! Thank you for the information. Last night I was reviewing the tracks that we recorded when we were there in April for the first time and trying to map out a rough plan. Currently I have a plan in my head, but it's only written in Jell-O now, as it's not solid. ;) Thanks again. Mike

    Trip Report A Swell quickhitter

    I have a few questions for you guys who are familiar with the Swell. Is the Swinging Bridge directly on Buckhorn Wash road? I think Buckhorn takes off directly off of I-70 at exit 131 going north, correct? Next question is Muddy Creek area. Is that located at the far west side of Reds Canyon...

    OK, that makes sense now. I've seen a few cars in the northern part of Harmon's parking lot from time to time when the wife and I have headed over to her dad's for coffee on Sunday mornings over the past summer. I wondered what was going on. It seemed like a lot of rice rockets with fart...

    The only one I personally know of is at Buzz Brew on 2550 in West Haven. The wife and I have gone to a few, turnout is hit and miss.

    My brothers 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman Wagon (Goat Wagon)

    Saw the car at Peach Days in Brigham. Pretty impressive build. Very well done.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    WOW. That's a lot of projects going on at once. My hat is off to you. I generally can't tackle more than one major job at a time or I feel paralyzed.

    Looks awesome. The wife and I would like to sneak off back down there one more time this year. Only wheeled there once back in April and we loved it. Definitely need to do more exploring as I hadn't even heard of the areas that you mentioned. We found Black Dragon Wash and loved driving...

    I'm a fan of the Truetrac limited slip personally. I've used them on many of my own vehicles as well as friend's rigs over the years. No clutches or any special friction modifiers to have to deal with and they work great.

    Thank you Russ. I appreciate the comments. I completely agree Josh. If I had to look that long for a tool I would hang it up and try my hand at a different career, maybe needlepoint. :rofl: That is funny you mention that. My wife and I were in Moab a couple of weeks ago out on the trail...

    Airbags VS. WDH?

    I'm curious which ones you've used. The Firestone and Contitech ones I've used have internal bumpstops built into them to protect them.

    You are welcome any time Brent. I have a video shop tour if anyone is interested. It is a few years old and I should probably do another video and post it to my channel as I have made a few changes and have a couple of small additions since I recorded the last shop tour linked here.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Finished up assembling the F-150 rear axle last night. I prefer to heat the pinion bearings and slide them into place vs. beating on with a hammer. Bearings and impacts don't make good bed fellows. After heating the bearing to approx. 250-degrees it slides right on the outer pinion shaft...

    Nice job Brent. Looks like that will slip right together now. 👍
