Sam, you're a RASCAL!! Thanks Joe, if you can round up a few spares I think it would be a good addition to the repair kit.

I feel pretty confident that I wont have a break down. I bought this from another member here and the workmanship and detail is amazing. everything has been gone through except for the shocks and leaf springs which I may replace prior to coming out. it has been converted to 12 volt so I may add a cigarette lighter plug for a compressor. The 5th rim is in plus the spare tire mount. I think I should add a grab bar for the pax seat ( my buddy is coming with me) just hate to mess up the inside like that but might be better than him falling out. lol. the current plan is to leave ohio on the 19th, arrive 21st. its a little over 1400 miles. figure doing 500 average a day. most likely returning on the 27th to get back home on the 29th. might modify that as time draws near but that's it now. |

Build yourself a grab handle that can mount on the bottom of the dash with some beam clamps on the lower lip of run band iron bracket under dash and up under the windshield on the cowl.

Let's see, the last time we had to add a tire to a jeep I think we just had 4 or 5 guys lift the jeep up to put the tire/wheel on the hub. Seems like the jeep had a jack that didn't work. If my memory is correct, I think the jeep now has a new scissor jack. A couple of the jeeps carry handyman jacks, some have scissor jacks, some have bottle jacks, and more than a few carry no jacks at all. Thanks for letting me know your travel plans. We'll make sure the best, most fun rides are done while you are here. Are you planning to stay at a hotel/motel, at a B&B, or camp at Thirsty Dirt Ranch? |

I see, so you must be planning to ride in the back with those teenagers, jpet and Ricco. I guess you could just take a piece of rope and tie it around the seat frame, then around your rider, so your rider can't leave the seat behind. But then if my memory is working, we have seen a few seats go flying too. I suppose if you launch your passenger, and you're a really good driver, You could catch them again without missing a beat. We've seen it done with spare tires, I guess it could work with people too.

Excited to come to this for the first time. I've been working on a pickup camper so I can come for the full week and not be a burden on Mike's facilities! Amazing how Jeeps take you off on side ventures in preparation. Suspension upgrades, mirror changes, generators, different trailer jacks, One or two Jeeps, lots to think about. The test run for the equipment will be Bruce's Northern Run. In the mean time, I'll be studying what you guys do in June when you come North to the Black Hills. All new, all fun. Nothing like the sound of a flat fender fan in the morning! John

John, we're looking forward to seeing you here! And speaking of other mods, I spent the weekend modding my F250 so it'll do a better job of towing for the jeep trips this year. I added an oversized high-flow air filter, a three-gauge set, a 4 inch, turbo-back exhaust, and a TS 6-function chip. WOW! What a difference those changes made! I did a 2 hour drive towing my 24 foot enclosed car hauler and talk about more power. Even going up and over a mountain pass I was able to accelerate and with the larger exhaust my EGT's stayed much lower than they ever did with the factory exhaust. So with a little more routine maintenance, the truck will be ready to come see you in June. Now I've got to get back to fixing the Blue Mule............
