I think I got to back out for today, though I might try to pop in. My dog is starting K9 training and I have conflicting times they gave me I'm trying to sort out. If not, I hope to get a trail ride together for the Jemez, soon!

Looking good, babe! I still think you should part the other one and keep this one! ;) For me.

I’m assuming from the original six?!

Talked to Todd. Wait list us! Or maybe we'll look into the other permits Marc mentioned so we can bring both rigs.

No link found. C’mon! We need to show up these in reach guys!

Todd and I plan to join for the ride and Saturday and possibly hook up for Sunday. Won't be camping this time, though.

4B is a short but fun road and has gotten more technical over the past year. I organize a trail race and part of it goes from Jemez Falls to McCauley and we use it for emergency access. I attached a photo of the cliff side from McCaulley looking up towards where 4B ends on the map @lurch...

Yes and No... I scouted it for access for search and rescue evacuations from the springs over the course of a couple days about a month ago. It's steep and cliff's out in most sections with no actual trail, but I did find a way down... It's steep and loose but doable.

Congratulations, Grant!! Now you and Todd can swap stories... he picked up two to fiddle with.

Great idea! I'm going to check with Todd and see if he's up for it. McCaulley is a great option for a hike and soak; I'd suggest going in from the Jemez Falls side; there's not as many goons on the hiking trail as there is from Battleship. :) If there's a decent size group interested I could...

https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/strong-arm-6781l-r-gas-charged-liftgate-lift-support/ I got these Strong Arm Liftgate struts in today and installed them on my '91 HDJ81. Installation was easy and it was refreshing to have the gate lift on it's own and stay open, even with the Gobi ladder...

Dang! Thanks for the update. I went with the Strong Arm for $38.00. It's hard to find good reviews on anything, but figured, well heck... at least their American made! I have a Gobi ladder on the hatch, so we'll so how they work. I'll post up after I get them installed.

You've seen my stature. Think I'll be able to pull the hatch down, or just do pull-ups. ? :bounce:

Yep, that's it exactly!! Drove it home and got things apart and tightened up and it's slowed down (from every 3-5 seconds to a minute. I'll order some o-rings. Thanks for your reply!!
