    Northern Utah AF canyon--Wed, June 5th at 1:30pm.

    I decided to post this in its own thread to help call attention to it. I still haven't heard back from my customer friend, so I've made an executive decision to meet at 1:30pm at the Alpine Chevron (at the corner of the Timpanogos/Highland Highway and the Alpine Highway, near the mouth of the...

    Safari Top Repair

    I have had Kirkham Upholstery in American Fork repair/modify my safari top and a duster cover for me. I am very satisfied with their work and prices.

    Tips for the absolute beginner welder

    I've never welded a thing, but it is a skill I would love to have. I'll need to watch those videos later.

    It certainly isn't too late for me, though I'm still waiting to hear back from my customer.

    american fork canyon

    Okay, good to know. Since my post looking for anyone to run with me, a customer contacted me about another topic... and soon we began to discuss going Jeeping (he bought a JKU from me last year). He may be available on Wednesday, though he hasn't yet told me exactly when. I'm hoping I can get...

    Can anyone go sometime during the day this Wednesday, June 5th? Maybe even an early evening run?

    3/4 ton Suburban with 8.1L V8

    When I first wanted to troubleshoot the system, I thought it was odd that nearly every google search pointed to a page telling you how to disable the system rather than repair it. Now that I see how well the HD suspension works without AutoRide--and knowing that some of the components are...

    3/4 ton Suburban with 8.1L V8

    Somebody rang? :) Not that you didn't know this, but the 8100 Burb will work very well for these duties. When paired with the 4.10 axle ratio (which is what I have), the 8100 is rated to tow 12,000 pounds. If it only has the standard 3.73 gears, the rating drops to a still-significant...

    FNG

    Welcome to the club! Always happy to see another TJ owner. Well, money doesn't do you any good if you don't spend it. :p

    Spring Canyon (east of Kamas, near Mirror Lake)--anybody been there?

    Oh, so it's not a tough trail at all--nothing like the hanging tree trail, for example, like I was hoping. Oh, well. Thanks.

    I'd like a 12v freezer/fridge, but it must be 15" tall or less--what are my options?

    While googling for drawer-type fridges, I found out about the EvaKool IB31: It says its outside height is 15.0" tall, so it might work... I'll have to take another more careful measurement of my Jeep. It is also 28" long and 14" wide, which is fine. Even their own web site does not list the...

    I'd like a 12v freezer/fridge, but it must be 15" tall or less--what are my options?

    I am sold on the idea of a 12v refrigerator, and I'd love to have one for my upcoming Rubicon trip. I would mount it in the cargo area of my TJ, and therein lies a problem. I permanently removed my back seat and installed a Tuffy security enclosure in its place: The steel lid sits 15"...

    Jeep Death Wobble

    I'd second the suspicion of the front track bar. At least in the TJ world, that is most often the culprit. It is a good idea to start the Jeep (so you have power steering) and have a friend turn the wheel--lots of little back-and-forth movements, barely turning the wheels. While he keeps...

    Hey guys, girls, and pups!

    Well, I guess I know what I'll be doing on my next trip to Moab. :)

    Coleman instant tent as an alternative to RTT

    You looked quite cozy in it. I'm not a cot guy, so forgive me if this is a dumb question to ask. I presume a "backpacking cot" is shorter (read: closer to the ground) than a regular cot, and it sounds like that's what you need. What makes it less comfortable than a regular cot? Is it the...

    Hey guys, girls, and pups!

    Welcome to RME! (I'm only a lurker on Pirate so I'm positive you don't know me.) Say, where was this photo taken? Looks like a fun run.

    Spring Canyon (east of Kamas, near Mirror Lake)--anybody been there?

    Based on a link I followed from another thread, I just learned about the Mirror Lake area. What really caught my eye was Spring Canyon, especially when the government map referred to the "Spring Canyon OHV/4x4 camp" area. I'm not looking for a new place to bed down for a night; instead, I am...

    Memorial Day axle swap

    Wow--that is looking good! Glad I was able to stop by briefly this morning to offer my moral support. Sorry I couldn't jump in and wrench with you guys.
