    95 ZJ A/C hose replacement

    Did not hear from Joseph so had it done at Big-O in the neighborhood. They replaced all hoses and the evaporator for $320. It looked like I would have had a problem with evac/recharge so farmed it out.

    More info on this please

    95 ZJ A/C hose replacement

    Just how hard is it to replace the A/C hoses? I have a leak in the one coming out of the accumulator that goes to the firewall (evaporator) and the discharge line that goes from the compressor to the condenser is suspect. The hoses cost about $120, the discharge/recharge cost about $100 and...

    Roads to nowhere

    What Kurt said and after long discussions with BLM, CA4WDC, CORVA, and FS the access for handicapped can not be used as a legal means of keeping roads open. It can only be used on an emotional or justice for all type basis. Did you happen to notice the piece by the FS that Wilderness is...

    Roads to nowhere

    Money is the name of the game. They draw in about 2 million dollars a year and keep about 20 people employed and if nothing else those people do not want to loose their jobs.

    Where did your 4x4 hobby start? (specifically lookin for pre-1980's input)

    Between then and now the biggest changes have been: 1. More people doing it. 2. In the old days you could go anyplace. 3. Now there are more specialized vehicles. In my day what you drove to the desert you drove to work.

    Where did your 4x4 hobby start? (specifically lookin for pre-1980's input)

    I started in 1940 at the age of 10 at my uncle Joe's farm in Marshfield, MO. My cousin Dean and I would take their 36 Chevy P/U across country on the farm. Neighbors had a pickup with the bed removed they called a doodle-bug that was the envy of all the kids in the area. In 1966 a friend at...
