    And now that I take a closer look at that photo, I see he is parked at Metal Mart.

    Spotted

    I believe I saw this one on the road yesterday in AF. I saw this one today on I-15 on my way to Layton: When I saw all the decals, I decided it was worthy of a photo. I believe the plate is BLUBMBR. Anybody we know?

    the highs and lows of prepping for Moab

    Look what followed me home this afternoon: The best part? My wife said we could keep it! :D I was considering three trailers: a Big Tex from Lone Peak; a PJ from Wasatch; and a Big Bubba from, well, Big Bubba. They were all priced close enough as to not matter, so it came down to the...

    Archived I signed up for official trail runs, but don't know where/when to meet

    I searched the web site for this, but couldn't find it. My question is: can we register the night before? Or are we required to go to the registration area each day for that day's trail run?

    the highs and lows of prepping for Moab

    I really appreciate that offer, though I am firm in my decision to not take Mark's trailer. If I cannot acquire a trailer of my own tomorrow, I'll be driving the Jeep instead. Thanks, though.

    Awesome. I hadn't found the link to the online newspaper until now. I'll be sure to print out a few pertinent pages from it tomorrow. Thanks, guys.

    the highs and lows of prepping for Moab

    Today being my day off work, it was my last day to make final preparations for the big trip next week. Lots of little errands gathering last-minute items, such as picking up (and installing) my newly-modified safari top and duster cover, having the Jeep's tires balanced and rotated, and so on...

    Archived I signed up for official trail runs, but don't know where/when to meet

    Salvage Title Vehicles

    Our favorite local body shop is Cascade Collision just over the border in Lehi. Of the local body shops we deal with on a routine basis, they tend to do the best work. As a result, this is the first place I'd go for any bodywork concerns.

    Salvage Title Vehicles

    As others have said, this will vary from lender to lender. Some won't touch it; others may lend part of its otherwise normal value. As added information, I plugged this VIN into my Chrysler account. They know it was salvaged, because the entire vehicle is on restriction (meaning Chrysler no...

    Which aux tranny cooler for my tacoma?

    And I would swap my Jeep's 5-speed for an automatic in that same heartbeat.

    Which aux tranny cooler for my tacoma?

    You may need to re-think this strategy (see below). It may keep the fluid too cool at other times, also... and this can be undesirable on a computer-controlled transmission. Back in the Good Old Days (tm), transmissions were hydraulically controlled. No fancy computers for us! As a result...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Today was my day off, though I still had to make three trips to work for various reasons. Anyway, I took advantage of the weather and spent every available minute outside prepping for the Jeep Safari. Items accomplished today: - installed trailer brake controller in the Suburban - removed...

    Moab with JP magazine Trip Report

    Now I'm wishing I would have gone on this trip like I had originally planned. :( Of course, had I gone, I wouldn't have the vacation time left to attend the EJS later this month. I guess it's a toss up.

    Jeep If you own a TJ read this!!!

    No problem. I trust you also found someone with an appropriate DRB/Scanner to program the key into the ECU. If not, let me know.

    Recommend a trail book/guide for Moab

    Wow, I wasn't expecting such a resounding recommendation. Needless to say, I just placed an order for a spiral bound copy. Thanks, gang.
