My nephews MJ was doing this a few months back, a new TPS was the cure.

Looks like a great day on the trail, even for a tow rig! Glad to have it up Ward Canyon last weekend on the cleanup, now all you need is a trailer and a shorter WB trail rig to put on it......... ;)

Not the first rig to get bit by the Kane Creek quicksand........

I had a great time on this project, met some cool folks and having the raffle was nice too[thanks donors!] thanks to the TTORA crew (Ellis for leading the charge and Randy for providing a dumpster for the chopped Nissan parts) and of course the U4. Great shots, got one of my good side too.....

Sounds great Bullet, dumpster could be dropped somewhere in the parking lot by the Bountiful B, out of the way but accessable.

Hopefully the posts on the FJ site a minority representative of the whole new FJ community......seemed to be lots of e-high fives to reward mud boy. What a jacka$$........

Just got off the phone with the FS.....they are really concerned with folks getting hurt on the project, so FWIW......wear your boots, long pants, leather gloves, sunscreen, adequate water and food and don't do dumb stuff because you're liable for yourself. OK? They really weren't prepared...

THIS JUST IN!! I spoke with Kevin Walton of the Wasatch FS District, who is our point of contact for the Ward Canyon NPLD project, and he's been pulled off this project by his manager. Apparently the FS is losing their summer workers early this year so they have cancelled all projects that...

DrMoab has asked me (Jeff Turner) to coordinate this event for NAXJA, working with the FS, U4 and other local clubs. We had planned on torching the smashed cars into parts to get them out, but the FS has already arranged to have the Utah Natl Guard lift them out with a chopper in the spring of...

Hate to bail on a very worthy project but I have to work on Sat....grrrrrrr

Yah, seems like a good recipe for lots of lost folks who don't know the canyon that well. Is there room for 20 rigs/drivers to park at the Ranger Station and sign waivers? If not, perhaps those with the trailer to haul rail could meet at the Ranger Station and load it up, then run up to the...

Dragging it to a trailer was the original plan, as well as the option of torching it into smaller, bite sized pieces.

Lots of options.....does your friend have any money? He can glob together a bunch of mis-matched parts and do a budget lift on the cheap and deal with the choppy ride and replace stuff as he goes or get some good parts that will last and provide the best combo of street ride and trail flex. The...

Well put Kurt. My daughter has an annoying toy doll that says the same line everytime you pull the string in her back......she named her Chelsea, but I call her Brent.

Kurt, I'm sure the local NAXJA chapter would be glad to pitch in. I'll ping the BOD and make them aware.

My buddy that introduced me to Moab years ago, has pitted for BFG on the Baja race for the last 6-7 years. On his first trip south of the border, some punk Federalies in a hummer threw a roadblock on them at 3am, guns drawn. Quite an eye opener for a local Moab boy! The Baja-seasoned driver...

Anomoly? Poor compression? Big Oil conspiracy? I could still pull down 16-17 mpg with my setup cruising at 75 mph, 13-14 in town, with a 200k+ tired old Renix motor. BTW, what mileage did you get with 33's and 4:88's?

Nice read and great tech....as for bucking up for a 62mm TB, I'm still living in the $10.00 per HP formula from my SB Chevy days...... As for the fear of lower MPG with lower gears on your rig.....I've proven this theory bunk time and again. Simply put, I (as well as many others) gained 3 mpg...

Thanks for the feedback, I'll have him check them out.
