Trailered Otis the ’76 FJ40 home to Utah on Saturday after a smooth purchase in Steamboat Springs, CO. On Sunday I had to introduce him to the Utah mountains.
Fire damage takes a while to resolve the forest. Were the trout streams silted up or have they had time to clean out the silt? I flew a Bell 212 on the Yellowstone fires fighting the fires that really damaged the forest and later flew the...

Finally replaced the burned out bulbs. Didn’t even realize my hazard/antenna/CDL was burned out. Replacing the left side bulbs for the vents was super easy. No modding just remove and replace
