    Grand County Fire (Moab)

    X2 On the news it looked like it was close to the area where my son and I came out of the LaSal pass trail when we did it a few weeks ago.

    Extreme Scrambler Makeover

    I saw him in the same area a few weeks ago going southbound when I was coming back from waiting in line for my drivers license in renewal in Sandy . I still need to look through my boxes for that brake pedal bracket part you needed. Did you ever get the guages to work correctly ?

    Another use for a digital set top box

    We just got our set top box so that we can look at the digital channels on one of our old analog sets and when I saw that it had video and audio output as well as an RF output the nerdy engineer in me had an idea. My new Sony LCD HDTV like many other new sets allows two pictures to be displayed...

    Any 12V electrical guru's here? An E.E. mabey!

    To repeat my last post with one modification: the TPD acts like a switch that is normally closed which shorts the diode anode to ground. When the TPD is closed there is current that flows through the resistor but not the diode. When it overheats the TPD will open up allowing the current to flow...

    The fishing was good. The lake was stocked with a bunch of rainbows that were hungry.

    170 Miles of Moab

    Last week my son and I went down to Moab to have some fun before he started school this week. We went down on Wednesday and drove out to Chicken Corners, then came back to the Lockhart Basin trail. We camped over night and on Thursday we finished the trail. We were kind of toasted so we went up...

    My last rock chip came from a.....

    My last one came from a pickup on the freeway that picked up a rock. My worst "chip" came from a semi that flipped a spoked Caddy hubcap into my windshield almost taking my head off.

    More Trib---Cody's making friends lately :D

    My son and I just got back from three days of wheeling in Moab where we put in about 170 miles of trails and every trail had numerous places where ATV users are going off the trails. They just can't seem to stay away from high marking the hills and every turn, bypassing the rocky sections and...

    Bad wear on front tires

    The axle did come from a wrecked vehicle. What is SAI ? I've checked caster, camber and toe. I found some worn bushings and bolts and replaced them. It is now running better but we will need to keep an eye on the wear.

    xj not running properly

    Check your fuel filter and fuel pump as a first step.

    Bad wear on front tires

    I read this and will need to check some of the other things they mention. He replaced all of the ball joints and steering joints when he re-geared the axle a few years ago but he did have one tire out of balance on the front axle that shook it up till he had it re-balanced. Maybe the ball joint...

    Bad wear on front tires

    My son's Comanche is wearing his brand new tires badly on the front. The wear shows up as cupping on the inner edge of the tire. I have checked caster, camber and toe in and they all look good. It has new shocks and a fairly new Rubicon 5.5 inch front lift. Any suggestions on what could cause this ?

    What is your most redneck moment!

    My most redneck moment was sitting in the parking lot of a tire store in Battle Mountain Nevada between 10 and sometime after midnight filing out the center hole of the trailer spare on a borrowed trailer so I wouldn't have to pay a 75$ after hours fee to get a flat fixed. The latest one was...

    Fishing Holes

    You can take the Norway Flats road (off of the Mirror lake road) up to Little Elk or hike a bit more to Big Elk Lake. Norway Flats is more challenging than the road up to Whitney.
