The Blauer Geist

[Die Blaue Ziege]

I thought I should post an introduction to my rigs and myself. I'm located in northern Utah in logan, my rigs are a 1999 jeep tj, 2 in lift 31's with the 4.0l, it's blue and is our goat, hence we named it blauer Geist ( blue ghost ) 2001 f250 power stroke 6 in lift running 35's, we call this one ox, he is big, also blue and is used as a tow rig with my 2006 trailmanor. I also have a 1998 7 lug heavy half ton, this one is Mule. It's pretty stock rides great on and off road and has towed my trailer all over the western states. We are a camping family that lives the national parks and national monuments. Last year we drove ox and the trail manor to corpus christi Tx, we visited 20 national parks/national monuments on that trip, my kids earning Jr Ranger patches and badges in each. My work schedule has now changed so I am looking to doing more local trips and doing some camping with ox or Blauer Geist and a tent with some like minded 4x4 enthusiast.

The 7.3L is one of the best trucks I've ever owned. Welcome to the board. Some of us are familiar with the city you live in. @notajeep likely lives fairly close to you unless you're in the 10th N/200 W area with those new homes?

Welcome to RME. I'm also up here in the frozen north.

Notajeep. Frozen is right, I regretted buying a 7.3l for the first few months. New battery, a gear reduction starter, upgraded glow plug relay and T6 5w40 all made the cold blooded monster a lot more tolerable to start. I just installed the grill blanket yesterday, I hate the look, but it should help this winter.
