Builds An Accidental Frame Off.................. (2 Viewers)

It might be leave-no-trace? Kind of like asking a rancher, "how many cattle?" I used to pull the battery, so even the cellphone couldn't find the water, or me.

$3 Bridge on the Madison?

One amazing place. Tough fishing though.

One of my favorite stretches of water

Received a rebuild kit for my fuel pump from Cruiser Cult aka @red66toy today in the mail.

The only thing that I noticed that wouldn't quite fit was the spring for the pump arm, aside from that everything went together pretty well.


Overall it seems to be a pretty solid kit, the valves that come with the kit won't be used ony pump due to mine having the staked in valves. Aside from that it has everything necessary to do a complete repair.

thank you @red66toy I'd definitely make another purchase.

Now back to college football, Kansas State and TCU should be a good one, and Texas already lost.



Maybe tomorrow I'll bolt the pump back to the engine, I need to get some new fuel hose from the pump to the hard lime heading to the carb on Monday.

Thanks for the support! Yeah we didn’t have the industrial purchasing power to have them tool a new spring for us. But thankfully all the critical and common wear and tear rebuild parts are on point.

I'm sure if in NEEDED the spring to work I could make it work. Just spreading the arm open a fuzz would allow it to fit.

Good to know that this is feasible to rebuild. I’ve got at least one of my old pumps on the shelf that needs to be rebuilt one day. Glad I kept them.

After having gone back to page 1, I'm finally caught up to page 135. Just wanted to say that being from Montana - thank you for adding those photos. I'm from Chinook, and often would drive with the family from Chinook to Whitefish. All along the pass between East Glacier and Columbia Falls was choice. Your photos remind me of those times.

Hope you enjoyed reading through it!

All the places I have been lucky enough to explore are insane, there are people that plan years in advance to do what I can make happen in a weekend, or a week long adventure that is basically a backyard excursion! One of these days I might get up to the Hi-line and explore the northern tier of the state.

I'm not just talking about Montana trips either, I've been lucky enough to take cool trips up through the New England region, to Maine, down to Georgia, tons of beaches along the way. The smokey mountains, Shenandoah, West Virginia, fished some top waters in Pennsylvania. Been all over the central rockies, spent 10 years exploring the high country in Colorado, including about half of the 14ers. Took a week this year to hit the Pacific coast, down to the redwoods.


Making plans now to go to the gulf coast next spring, somewhere around Corpus, and of course hammer every top 50 BBQ joint between the airport that I can!


It's all about the adventure.

I did manage to get the pump bolted back up to the engine this evening.

Good thing I double checked some things, I had the top 180 out.

We would be happy to host you in Gorda. There are some awesome places to see and fish here.

Make sure you pay attention to the way that top cap screws on, it's baffled on the inside.

I was off by one screw hole the wrong way, even after I paid attention to it when I was assembling it.

I guess that one extra beer did it.


I spent about a half hour yesterday trying to fire it up, after thinking about it today I decided to pull the cap from the top of the fuel pump, sure enough I was off one hole.

Summbitch, well after I fixed that it fired right up, maybe I'll take it for a test drive soon.

I have an old Army buddy down in the Sargent area, we're still trying to figure out when and where we're going. I suggested South Padre Island for spring break when all the Texas college girls would be down there, not sure that was going to fly.....


Realistically we don't want to be down there for spring break, maybe the week after but definitely not with a boatload of drunk college kids. (My oldest daughter is a high school senior)

@Chungas Revenge hasn’t popped in at the mention of drunken spring breakers. He must have slipped into a well, maybe someone needs to go check.

Depending on the weather, the speckled trout bite can be pretty good in the spring. Bring your fly rods for some real fun.

Sounds like a good excuse to go buy a 9 or 10 weight saltwater setup!
