    The Adventures of Chungus

    Between the last post and this I knocked out the remainder of the work under the hood, got the rear driveshaft rebuilt, and dropped it off at the dealership to get the rear pinion seal taken care of. While in the service bay, the tech noted that both my front main and oil pump seal are leaking -...

    Gained 100 overlander points with the addition of a CVT Mt Hood tent and some Rhino Rack crossbars.

    The Adventures of Chungus

    Picked the tools back up this morning and started with the spark plugs. They were nasty but none of them fought back: Valve cover came off. Everything looked happy inside. Replacing all the seals and gaskets could have been worse. Everything was brittle as heck. With the valve cover back...

    The Adventures of Chungus

    Started prepping for the next adventure with an almost 250k mile service. Replacing just about every coolant hose (I can skip the PHH today since I did that already), deleting the rear heaters in the process, new heater valve, doing a valve cover gasket, and to cap it all off, a "while I'm in...

    The Adventures of Chungus

    It was September 2nd, when riding into Leadville my phone blew up as I came back into cell service, people checking in on me for reasons I did not yet understand. The thing about all of the adventures covered in this thread, is that the soundtrack of each one has been Jimmy Buffet's discography...

    The Adventures of Chungus

    Found a few muddy spots and big puddles in July. It got put to work again as a chase vehicle for a very fun photo session. When August rolled around, I hit the Alpine loop with some friends. We spent three days wheeling, fixing my buddies 4Runner on the side of the trail, ate excellent...

    Thank you both! I really enjoyed getting to share the experience, thanks for reading. There's a whole bunch of stuff to catch up on in this thread, let's time warp back to the day after my road trip. I hop into the truck to take it to the wash, and it won't crank. The voltage on the dash read...

    Was looking to the left to avoid dropping into a large hole and found a big stick to the right. Off to ebay I go.

    I look forward to the day that this happens to me. The real Earth Killers are corporations and private jets. My LX is only a wallet killer

    The Coleman Thread

    Finally had an occasion to use my $10 thrift shop find. I was very impressed by it's ability to regulate temperature. I'll definitely be using it a lot more on future trips
