    Canguro Racing - Vegas To Reno

    You guys are really having fun. Your buggy does not look like anything I am familiar with but my last outing was 1976. Who made the chassis? How much wheel travel do you have? Would like to come by and look at your racer, where do you keep it, at the shop?

    Ford to dodge?

    I have the 06 Dodge and love it. Only 50K miles and no problems. Front ends can be fixed cheaply when they go out, check with the guys at Big-O 104th and Redwood in South Jordan. I get 11 to 14 MPG towing and 17 to 22 MPG city and highway. Just oil changes so far, Cheston, let me know how...

    time for another ham radio discussion

    Just took a look at this site. I got my license the hard way when you had to pass code when I was 65 years old so I have been using it for 18 years. Used for communication during Baja 1000, 4x4 trips, RACES, Church emergency check in, and just shooting the breeze. Never really got hooked...

Another friend grabbed the bottom of her seat in a Jeep CJ5 and although she didn't loose any fingers she pinched three that required surgery. The best defense is hug yourself...

    Just ran on to this via Facebook, one of the best packing articles I have ever read. Kurt has done what few could do. I started out by taking trips along the Missouri River north and east of Kansas City, Kansas as a 12 year old kid with a wood frame back pack I built, a bed roll, and my 22...

    Jeep Good running 304 until it gets HOT

    Did you check your fuel filter and for a pinched fuel line? I know you mention both, just wanted to make sure. Is your engine overheating? I remember once having to run some Gunk through and engine to clean all the small ports in the water flow through the head and intake manifold.
