Proof we could call it an Official Snow Run

Waterfalls have not changed a bit

Parking lot at the waterfalls.

On the way down we all jumped in and did a lot of trail maintenance.
Cleaned out several water troughs and re established water bars.

The view from the drivers seat when coming around.

When you are standing there, you can only see down 200' and that is still not the bottom.

 

[D'Animal]

Everybody back to the trailhead and airing up.

 

[D'Animal]

My wife's station wagon would not start.
Did all the diagnostics we could and worked late into the night.
Replaced the Igniter and the fuel pump and every relay but it still would not start.

Didn't want to lose the clip on the pick up screen.

Wife's Station Wagon spent the night at a nearby friends house.

 

[D'Animal]

Went up this morning and recovered the wagon and brought it home.

I hope when I get done diagnosing it that it doesn't end up with a Cummins 4BTA in it.

Big Thanks to the guys who held flashlights, used all the buttons on their multi meters and swung wrenches trying to get my wife's station wagon back home last night.

"Eventually everybody breaks down, this time it was your turn"

Here is an update on the wife's station wagon.
Team on the trail:
Replaced EFI relay.
Visually inspected every fuse on the rig and confirmed they were good
Ohm checked the fusable links after visually inspecting them.
Replaced the igniter system.
Replaced the coil wire
Getting a trickle of fuel so replaced the fuel pump.
Checked all wiring and function of the alarm system
Checked the throttle body connections. Did not clean the sensor.

Threw in the towel and caught a ride home.

Got the rig home and double checked everything.
Replaced the ECM and still had same problem.
Started the entire diagnostic procedure again from square 1.

Replaced the EFI relay with another one from my spare rig.

Rig starts and runs fine.

The odds of replacing a bad relay with not one, but two bad relays while on trail?

Time to do some research on testing relays.


Bonehead mistake will not happen again.

It happens to the best of us. Just blame it on the jeep guy.

Poor Rusty thought he was going to have some company. Notice the other 2 Jeeps at the meeting spot? Do you see them anywhere on the trail?

I'm heading to Dillonwood on May 24th.

If you want to go, we are meeting at Yohkol Valley turn off on 198 at 8:00am.

Taking a group of side by sides up to do some trail Maintenace.

 

[D'Animal]

Had a great time taking a group of Polaris RZR's up to see the sights.

Clouds were low so the vistas were not up to their normal standards.

 

[FLATU8ER]

Wish I could'a been there
