It looks like certain death. Wish I had a spotter. That brake thing is really remarkable .

We had pizza at Brown Dog in Telluride then drive out to Sawpit area to visit my crazy Cruiser buddy Alex Aluvi After seeing him we drove out Southfork road to Ophir Pass We got behind some loafers but in front of a large group of Cruisers...

We made our only backup at that spot too on Sunday. Turning brakes rock. Same traffic annoyances, I ended up letting H drive while I spotted a dozen rigs to speed things up.

More pics of Black Bear

If you have never been, it's all it's cracked up to be. Steep. Scary. Not hard at all just crazy.

The Whale was absolutely in its element on Black Bear. Stable and wide. Great brakes. The best part was the auto cutting brake though. I made it down on all the turns but one with no back ups. The only backup I took I have a video and...

We had big plans to hit the road by 7 but it ended up being 9:00 which I knew would spell trouble for Black Bear. We got to the one way part and there was a massive traffic jam of Heeps and a few Broncos. Seems the guy in front was scared of...

Also, something you should change is the clutch hose. My experience with them is always seeing them dried as hell.

Also, when it comes to replacing the clutch kit, consider the Terrain Tamer HD clutch kit. This thing with 1fz is worth it. It's not stiff or soggy, and you can feel the engine output immediately. I tried it on 1FZ and 3F I believe you can find...

So after making the aluminum panels for the 73/74 series I am thinking about making some panel kits for the 75/78 troopies . These would be made out of 0.125" (3,1 mm) aluminum and unlike the 73/74 batch that where cut on a plasma these would be...

The cutting brake feature on a 200 is legit and I made some Jeep guys eyes explode with it today

Lake City was a cool town. We got there about noon but no one wanted to stop so we rolled into Engineer. Traffic picked up some but it was not bad until we hit the pass

We got going and started on Cinnamon Pass. We were early and there was no trail traffic to speak of. Beautiful trail. Feels like the Scottish highlands a bit on the west side.

This morning I left at 6:30 to meet my buddy @JTU in Silverton to do the Alpine Loop. I got there a bit early and to my suprise the entire town was full of wagons. I'm assuming you people know these people. I saw the @Dissent LX700 and I...

I hooked it south into Governors Basin with a side track through Sidney Basin clockwise. I had to use the magic Crawl on a couple of spots on that optional loop. Recommend. I made it almost to the furthest mine and the bottom fell out of...

After I got out I hooked a left and went to the top of Yankee Boy Basin. Plenty of traffic but it thinned out a ton once the trail got hard at the top

Red has a remote work job so she is staying at the house while I go ride the mountains. Today I was solo. Saw this beauty on the way up Took Imogene almost to Telluride but there was a landslide so I had to backtrack. Got on the trail early...

Back for part 4 of the Whale across America trip. This leg will be a bit different. Red flew out with me and we got a big house in Ridgway. We flew in Saturday and with delayed flights all we were able to do was grocery shop and have a nice...

We did the Alpine Loop in 6 hours. We pulled out at 3 pm. I got on 550 and called Red and she told me she needed a couple more hours to finish her work so I decided to hit a short trail to Silver Basin @woody told me about yesterday. Short and...

Back from being gone most of the week dropping off one in Pennsylvania and picking one up in North Carolina. Spent the morning getting the Duramax serviced and catching up. Got back and messed with the timing then fired this guy up and made...

I found a decent plug for the intake and got it fired up. I'll set the timing tomorrow and get that idle sorted out.
