3rd time was a charm. It was HOT though, mid 90's, dry as a furnace fan in Phoenix Arizona. The dry fly action was hot too.

that sounds like a plan. weather otta be wonderful then lol. I'll let Trask know, i need to talk to ya about getting him in the club

I think I'm going to take mine over to the car wash in 4 Corners and try to degrease the engine bay. It's a mess. It smells bad. It's really no fun to work in there. The county decided to move my radio shop to the old Search and Rescue...

well that didn't work lol, anyway 2025 unreal adventure is about to begin. trask got lots of sponsorship with lots of goodstuff. he's still po'd he didn't make the 40's run but he's ready for the relic run with a first gen pu he found.

year number 2 is about to begin, Sam gets home i believe on the 3rd and they leave on friday. I think they head west for the meetup this year, thankfully we aren't trying to find a gearset like last year at this time

Valve cover gasket. Just like you said.

the old nemisis of the sbc, that's excellent news. between that and the intake i bet it seems like a brand new truck. i'm ready to see the old girl back on the trail now. I blew a radiator hose that blew coolant directly on the firewall thus...

When @elkun1 says that your "rear main seal" oil leak is probably just a valve cover gasket, don't waste a bunch of time planning and fretting about how you're going to drop your transfer case and transmission. Just replace the valve cover...

what did it end up being?

I won an awning last year! I just got home from a 25 mile test drive. I think it's fixed!

it's good, lots of bling. only problem is drew usually wins the good stuff. you figure out the oil leak or do we get to name it the exxon valdez

I thought Bozeman was full

Don't advertise that.

The Lazarus engine. I brought back an 8.8hp Tahatsu outboard engine from the dead with Sea Foam.

Facts bro.

you're already getting ready for next years 40's run, the secret is out now

Looks like the Club calendar has Whitetail Reservoir scheduled for Sept 27. I should've looked there first. But we can still do a Relic Run sometime in October.

Looking to sell my Glock G20 10mm. Comes with pistol, two magazines and a Gunfighters Inc Kenai chest holster. The Kenai is the best woods carry holster i have ever used, secure and comfortable. They retail for over $150. Also they are...

Some teasers. More coming

pb4ugo, The reason I quoted your post is that your reply to the thread said the log and strap method to hold the axle from coming out was "standard operating procedure" for Jeepers. The tone of the post suggested it was not an uncommon...

So true Wasatch Jay! A buddy of mine has always had one and they have always sucked! So now he has a new 4 door hybrid Jeep and it gets the Death Wobbles on the highway when he is turning and hits a bump in the road!?!? WTF! Jeep engineers...

Jeeps Suck! There, I said it. (Others are thinking similarly.)

that idea was discussed but we knew it wasn't going to get any easier ahead plus had a water crossing that we didn't know what the bottom was other than the water was around 3 ft deep. had to be on all 4 wheels if possible. with the further...

i hope it works, they leak out of the rear and it runs down the back so it looks like it's the rear main. frustrating is an understatement. they get warped due to leakage so people think they need to tighten them some which actually magnifies...

We've had to make that same type of contraption out of logs, when jeeps broke their weak ass dana 35 axles. I'd hand the drive or passenger a qt of gear oil to pour on the tire while I was pulling them down the trail with the 40.
