    So is that the peekaboo canyon near Escalante or the peekaboo trail outside Kanab ?

    My truck sucks in sand

    Well I guess I'll have to try airing down, I had the skinny load range E road tires. Some ladder bar might help since this thing has the big 8.1 engine and it can spin them way easy. It has the soft cushy ride so I'm sure the wheel hop is made worse by the big engine, soft suspension, light rear...

    My truck sucks in sand

    Well we just got back from a week down in the Zions area doing assorted hiking trails and scenic drives. My daughter couldn't afford gas for her Jeep so we took them in my GMC 2500 HD truck. It does great on the road other than gas mileage. One day we tried to do a trail called Peakaboo outside...

    It would be interesting to hear how you like the bernard, they looked like nice guns.

    Fixed my Miller now I need a new gun for it

    My Miller DVI welder died last week and it was a bad controller board. I didn't like the idea of shelling out $300-400 for a new board so I dug out the scope and DVM and dug into it. I spent most of my time reverse engineering the schematic but once I had it the culprit was found. It ended up...

    Help designing a backpacking class

    I have spent many a night with scouts backpacking and here are a few tips I have learned over the years: No Levis just light nylon pants which dry out fast. Take food out of the packages they come in and put it in ziplock bags and only take what you need. I like to put a days worth into a...

    Snowthrower carb trouble?

    These small carbs how one main jet that gets gummed up when gas is left in them. The carbs also have an idle circuit that often get plugged when gas is left in them over the summer. I have fixed many of these for neighbors and a good carb clean will almost always fix them up.

    Help I need some advice on fixing an old Toyota pickup for a friend

    Help I need some advice on fixing an old Toyota pickup for a friend

    I have a friend who smashed up the drivers door, cab and fender on his old 85 Toyota pickup. The truck has a great drive train and he wants to fix it up. I found an 83 Toyota pickup that has a decent body on it but I don't know if the cab and front clip could be swapped on to the 85 since there...

    Need some thoughts on tuning my stroker motor

    I did some online searching yesterday and one of the challenges I have is the obd1 computer. Your 99 is obd2 and Flying Ryan and others can reprogram that one but Ryan says he can't do anything for the obd1 rigs. I have the 24 lb ford injectors in mine but the obd1 fuel rail pressure is lower...

    Need some thoughts on tuning my stroker motor

    I had a 4.6 stroker motor built for one of my Jeeps but I'm not getting the power out of it that I should. I am fairly sure its not getting enough fuel when it gets near full throttle (starts to clatter). I put in 24 lb/hr injectors but haven't bumped the fuel pressure up yet. I need an air/fuel...

    Central Utah RME Trip; Little Sahara Sand Dunes... February?

    We went to Little Sahara with a family members 4x4 group a few years back in February and it was fun. The north facing stuff was no problem but once we got around to the south facing stuff a lot of folks got stuck. Luckily there were some folks out there with very capable rigs to pull those of...

    CJ head light upgrades?

    I may need to look into that too, I have the Hellas in my Scrambler and they were better than stock but still not as bright as I would like.

    What car/truck/any have good horns?

    I have a box of old horns from old jeeps and trucks, I should test them out and see if there are some that would work for you. Or I could see if my neighbor has a set of semi horns.
