Attach it to the 'pushed' vehicle at a VERY sturdy point. The 'pusher' vehicle is not that critical, but as mentioned, your push strap has to be new and not abused like BitKLR's. He used to get pushed a lot before he got the new ARB's.

A nice steady push will get a vehicle out in no time, unless the sand is soft.

Do a search on push strap.

And Exrsa1 should know about these types of failures...this is what happened to Ex's rig during a catastrophic push strap failure! (But, faulty PS was used to tow his rig out...they come in handy for somethings....)

Casrb Adjustment

Ok, so now I'm back home in the flatland and have noticed that when I was in Colorado and Moab (above 8000ft +/-) that my 60 ran "Fantastic"...It idled smoothly, maybe a little high around 900 rpms, but now that I'm back home (Kansas City) the idle seems to want to stay around 500-600.

Here's my question....From what I can tell my 60 started it's life in California and then to Washington State and then to Missouri where I found it. I've re-built the carb but didn't chang anything inside. So, could this carb be setup for high altitude and if so, how can I tell?

BTW, I noticed this last year after returning from Colorado with the OEM air cleaner system so I don't believe it's associated to the new intake system.

Thanks!

could it be the high altitude compensation valve that is causing it to idle a little higher?

Where would I find that?

Thanks for the response.

it should be on the drivers side inner fender. IDKFS but it sounds like it is working correctly. It is suppose to advance the timing 6 degrees once you get above 3900 ft. which to my simple mind makes me think it could cause the idle to increse slightly. I don't know this for 100% so if I am incorrect I am sure someone will chime in.

Acadia-

That's fantastic! Thanks for the advice and FSM pic!

I'll check it just to be safe.

Thanks for sharing such great experiences and pictures. You truly have an awesome rig! My eyes are glazed over after reading everything, so I may have missed it. Is your roof rack home-made or did you purchase it? Looks very simple and functional.

Thanks Chris.

I built the RR and it's constructed of 1 1/4 steel tubing. I wanted a design without side rails so the 60 would still fit in my garage with the RR on. It was designed for the RRT and a large Thule cargo box, plus I incorporated 4 small receiver type hitches on the driver side to accept the awning. When I need the awning it slides in the receivers (like a tow hitch receiver) and is secured with spring clip pins. I purchased the clamps from a mud vender (I think he was out of Colorado, sorry I don't remember his name..), they're like the old con-fer design and very nicely built. So far it's worked out great for me and due to the way I carry my gear (inside) I haven't found need for side rails. Also, I resealed my roof drip rails before I installed the RR/Clamps to reduce any chance of water getting into the roof.

Good luck!
