Oh yeah, beautiful spot. I used to do a lot of skiing northeast of there, north of Leadville at placed called Ski Cooper. It was originally for training the Army's Mountain Division. Back then it wasn't as well known or advertised as the other ski places so it was like having the mountain to yourself. I would help the employees get finished and we would go hit the areas most people never see. Fun times.

I have been there in the summer for rock climbing.
Independence Pass nearby is a nice drive/ride also.

Who’s that on the far left in the very first picture? We could be brothers from another mother.

That's @elkun1

He's the one that keeps me cool and confident on the trails, or he just wants to see me bang my junk up!

I learned to ski at Ski Cooper way back when.

Independence Pass is amazing, everything about it.

Here's where it gets fun.

I need to rebuild my carb, it looks like it's siphoning fuel from the fuel bowl through the primary side somehow, Ima going to guess that running a couple thousand gallons of pure cornbred gasoline through the carb has gummed some stuff up.

I'm not certain on the proper rebuild kit that I'm going to need for this, it is a non-US spec carb, 21100-61012, dated 1992, Sept 23rd. The noted from JimC also state something about 81-84 poverty spec 2F.

I believe I used a rebuild kit for the 80-87 era 2F last time, Carburetor Rebuild Kit - Fits 8/1980 - 8/1987 FJ40/60 (CARB61171) - https://cruiserteq.com/carburetor-rebuild-kit-fits-8-1980-8-1987-fj40-60-carb61171/




Anyone have any solid input? Either way I'm probably calling @cruiseroutfit tomorrow.

Also found another annoying knock. I'm 100% sure that grease would help here.

Not to mention the spline portion of the pin is loose in the flange.

You know that if you’d mentioned you needed grease i could have helped you out lol. Still had the grease gun in the 40 from our Wyoming trip

I believe that contraption and it origins need an explanation!!

 

[pb4ugo]

We've had to make that same type of contraption out of logs, when jeeps broke their weak ass dana 35 axles. I'd hand the drive or passenger a qt of gear oil to pour on the tire while I was pulling them down the trail with the 40.

Coming from the backwoods of East Texas I thought I had seen it all when it came to "Backwoods Engineering"..... but I was wrong!
