Good day on the trail.

We had a good turnout, 8 rigs total. Here a few pics of our guys showing us how it's done. It was a fun time.

Matt on the wall


Eric...well...we can say he is good on the jack

Seriously, he does a nice job with that 60.

Sam, Neil and I went on to explore down road 211 and had a great time. We got into some snow and were actually breaking trail after a while, had to move a downed tree that was across the road. The snow started getting deep in places and there was one stretch for about 50 yards that took me a couple of tries to break through, slightly uphill. Other places the road was dry. Found the trailhead and had a nice hike of about 3 miles and got back to the rigs about 5:00.

Ok, enough of this crap! Just ordered an Aussie for the rear diff.

Course, lockers don't have anything to do with getting high-centered.....

Looks like it was a great time for all...even the guy on the jack...

Looks pretty nice considering how much snow we got. I'm running it next month with FR4x4. Hopefully it doesn't get dumped on in the mean time.

Now locked!

Let the fun begin.

Let the fun begin.

Lol, yup. Now you can push that vehicle way over it's balance and breaking points!

 

[Corpolite]

WTF! The locker went in without a hitch--now I can't get the damn thing to idle.

How could they possibly be related?

 

[black95]

The locker was the first real "aftermarket" part....now the vicious cycle has begun. you started it, not the cruiser. The domino effect has begun, just go ahead and start looking for a Chevy 350

 

[Corpolite]

I still consider the 60 "Minimalist Stock"

Still fighting the idle.

New plugs, adjusted timing and valves, a can of seafoam, checked all the air lines.

Think I'll take it out this afternoon and just drive for an hour--almost acting like it's bad gas...

 

[CO_Hunter]

Check the cap, rotor and wires. Sounds similar to another problem not too long ago.

 

[Corpolite]

The Cap/Rotor/wires are just over a year old--but who knows? I'll pull the cap to take a look tonight..

 

[Corpolite]

OK, I'm stumped! New plugs, cap, rotor, and coil. Adjusted timing, valves & mixture. Cecked air lines and everything else I can think of and the POS still won't idle! Any suggestions? Next step is plug/coil wires but they a about a year old.

 

[black95]

Change the plug and coil wires. Then if that doesn't work, buy a compression tester and see if you have a valve or cylinder problem. I'm crossing my fingers for you that it's the wires.

 

[Corpolite]

I don't think I have a compression issue--when I pulled all the plugs they were texbook. I have the compression guage already--just hoping I don' t need it!

 

[black95]

Start checking vacuum leaks, you took your manifold off if I remember, are the bolts tight? Is your PCV valve stuck open? Carb loose at it's base? broken hoses? Is your brake booster leaking causing a vacuum leak? I that fuel pump acting up again? bad/clogged fuel filter?

 

[Corpolite]

Got to try out that new locker on ice this morning--that was exciting.

I haven't slid thru an intersection backwards for a while...

The combination of locker/ice/frequent stalling is not good!
