Montrose is probably the easiest. About an hour away and a lot larger airport.
Hey now... That's a prized and coveted position on the trail!
It is important for sure. I really loved the lugging abilities of the diesel too.

Ya'll have a great day.

Ok guys/gals, it’s time for a good Test Run. You can never start too early to prep & test your vehicle for the drive out to SAS.
This Test Run will begin tomorrow @ 5 am. Driving the 60 from home to Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Az. 7 hours in a car or 9 hours in my 60. Driving thru Las Vegas where it’s predicted to be 97* tomorrow. The 60 is on the trickle charge right now. Going one day early so we will be camping out, some wheeling just below the Grand Canyon & then a motel in Flagstaff for the Expo. So this will be a good test for the A/C, engine etc.
EDIT: @cruiseroutfit Good seeing you at the Expo

John, Have you documented the cause of the transfer case leak that was fixed at The Wall last year and its repair?
Safe travels!

Thanks for asking @JohnnyFish , yep, all fixed up now. It’s a very long story, $$ also. Short version: The leak was from a hole knocked in from the inside of the T Case. This was repaired maybe 10 years ago with some JB Weld. Held up fine…until it didn’t…at the Wall.
Took it to Georg Valley Hybrids @orangefj45 , had to replace both the front & back halves of the T Case. Was going to just Tig weld the holes, but when we opened it up, there was damage to the inside of the case. Georg is the Man when it comes to LC’s, T Cases in particular.

The waitlist this year is quite full. When a spot opens up we connect with the waiter in the order that we receive them.
