Dino track Summit!

oh, NOW the fun begins! I'd save the Oreilly CV as the trail spare :). Is the other side not too far behind?

I camped below the Rio Grande last weekend (next to couple of ponds) and it was awesome. You can camp at multiple reservation CGs along this dirt road, and of course around the actual reservoir as well. There are dispersed camping areas around...

Yep, the scope is still in your care. At this point, it should be called our O-scope! 🤣 The new sparkly thing is mainly for yard maintenance up near Taos (in-laws). It's been torn apart for the past year trying to address the turf destruction...

Isn't your oscope at my house still or do you have another one?😁 Defender? Did the BJ get pushed aside for something new and sparkly?

I really want to invest in a set of Chassis ear and that ebay link sounded good until I saw the shipping cost was about the same as the asking price!!!

i'd love to build me one of these shaker things that you put under each wheel. Saw one of those things in a FB reel one time. You do need a two post hoist first! If a local shop would offer that kind of service, that'd be so killer!

Valve lash Do not mix up your buckets and shims/valve lifters and valves! It's much easier when you put the valve and lifter back where it was removed from. Got it worked out though.

DOOOOOD 😲

Unfortunately, mine runs great. My issue is mother nature.

I've done the GoPro things to find suspension noises in the past. Great idea!

I can easily TIG it up but I'm concerned that the metal is fatigued, and may happen again. I found a set locally and in the process of hoarding few more sets for the future.

This is a good point too. I had to angle my internal bump stops so that they land squarely on the axle pads AND not scrape the inside of the Dobinson coil springs.

Ok, that one is cockeyed looks no bueno. I did the same project and no heat makes it that far to impact the body bushing in that manner. Something ain't right!!!

if you're feeling something near the foot rest, check that body mount bushing hardware for tightness. you may have to put an extra ugga ugga on it then see what happens.

i need to pull the engine on my W124 to chase the leaks too!

you make good points.

"four wheel alignment isn't possible for the 80 since the rear is not alignable." I know that, but... 80 can have adjustable trailing arms that can be tweaked, Leaf spring cruisers can get subtle mods to move the perch on the spring to get the...

four wheel alignment isn't possible for the 80 since the rear is not alignable. I run 315s on factory rims and I set the toe (using a tape measure) at nearly zero or a hair toe in. i'm also part time so the front wheels aren't pulling at all...

i was tooling around the san juans last weekend and the flowers were wilting already :(

We have been enjoying the flowers, in full bloom! But missed Pappy's expert narrative!

If you have the time, head over to Stony Pass. The flowers were incredible when I was there a couple weeks ago.

Liz, Amanda, Daniel and I did some sweet trails today. We started at Corkscrew via Ironton Park, headed over to Lake Como for some pan fried pizza via Hurricane Pass. Lake Como was as busy as I have ever seen it. Daniel and I walked over to...

yes, I want to start hoarding both of them because i have a feeling I'll be destroying them one by one due to fatigue!

anyone?
