Making sure your fanclutch is secure would be good also. Radiator replacement on the trail is a pain. Year 3 if IIRC?

Retaining factory LS fan clutch. No electric for me. That was a PITA when that electric fan blew up and killed my radiator. That was year 4, the first time I brought my 76. Before that I brought the FJ62. I still need to rework that 76 for a mechanical fan.

Trans threw a code for shift solenoid B and is in “limp mode” so I’m throwing the whole shebang in while the pan is down. Other than that I’m good to go.

Just installed 4plus swag, a balanced and rebuilt rear driveshaft and TC output seals, and now I'm wrapping up a new water pump, fan clutch and belts install. Hopefully just buying gas in July.

Is there any one, that's not going to be able to make the event with a KOH spot, that we could take over the $ payment? I could also add in a bonus swag package?

Have you called the KOA to see if anything is available? We have had a few cancellations in the last couple of days.
Worth a shot.

Just beginning the task of getting ready to pack for SAS. The 60 is, I believe, mechanically ready for the drive, after 20 oz of 134a, the A/C is ready. I carry way to much stuff on the roof rack, but when you’re tent camping for 2 for a week, you do what you gotta do.

And here’s what is going on the roof rack:

1. Spare tire, no rim
2. 2 Jack stands
3. Jumper cables
4. Bag of spare engine hoses, maybe some belts
5. Tent poles in their own bag
6. 3 gals fuel
7. Shovel
8. Hi Lift Jack
9. Hi Lift red plastic base
10. Rubber black tire wedge
11. Green NON Orvis bag: 2 ExPads, ExPad pump, JEM sleep bag
12. Green ORVIS bag: MRM sleep bag,JEM Filson Jac,
13. Camp chairs x 2
14. Camp table x 2
15. JEM SQUARE ORVIS 2nd bag of xtra clothes
16. MRM 2nd bag of clothes, rectangle
17. Very small red bag…vest I think, maybe a jacket tho
18. Military bag w/JEM Filson rain jacket

Do not forget to pack that SOLID AXLE vest!

 

[John McVicker]

Thank you Sir! It shall be Front & Center.

 

[Manitou Decline]

Do not forget to pack that SOLID AXLE vest!

Same goes for you and the Hawaiian shirt!

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your rig with easy access. Definitely a necessity.

So a heads up for the convoy. I just got back from Telluride and HWY 50 is still under construction after Gunnison at the canyon after Blue Mesa. The good news is after 7/5 they will be doing single lane alternating traffic from 0630-1930. If you don't make that time hack, then you get detoured up 92 to Hotchkiss then to Delta right past Proffitt's. The detour will add at least an hour of driving.

Thanks for the heads-up.
Last year it was open to one way traffic on the Weekends. Will really watch it as it gets closer to time.

First fully loaded shake down. Amazing this little car can fit all my stuff. Even brought a big inflatable kayak.

Busy weekend with 4th of July stuff - but got a few things done. Got some hardline with GM fittings soldered into the pump module. Built a passable fan shroud with some strips of sheetmetal I had laying around and a borrowed spot welder. Built an axle for the trailer.
