[POTATO LAUNCHER]

That's A-Lot of work for new motor mounts James.

I saw a video, easy to do in that section, sounds like an already tough recovery made more difficult by modern automotive technology, that tells me all I need to know about the 250.

That is disappointing to hear about the lack of gratitude, hopefully just an oversight during the moment. I have only met and spoke to Ben briefly at Vendor night, Raffle, etc. at Cruise Moab, he seems like a solid guy and a little out of character from my brief interactions, in fact just after Marlin’s passing he told a couple of great stories of Marlin’s trial manners/generosity and trail lesson’s learned. Hopefully, he circles back with a Big Thanks and package of your favorite beverage for the assist!


Back to a SAS question and wheeling the San Juan’s:

Better experience wheeling an FJ40 or 80 Series?

Bring the 40!

 

[thatcabledude]

Drive the 40!

Fixed

 

[SoTexCruiserDoc]

Bring the 40!

Yeah, you never know when you might wind up on a magazine cover…

I’ve always brought the 62 over the Shady80. I don’t prefer wheeling an automatic though. Something ‘bout that 5 speed.

You never know!

 

[Flatlanderfj40]

I’m bringing my 62 this year for family comfort otherwise 40 all the way. In fact, I feel like I’m cheating on my girl by not bringing her.

This is where I’m at, Ian. But the 40 is coming. To keep Mildred happy we made a new shop shirt

Ha ha. Tires for everyone. Grey T for the win!

Not going to lie, I am very much scheming on how to bring both.

 

[DrRock]

This weekend's project, one of the last on the list. Front calipers and rebuild of rear brakes. Also going to charge up the AC system at my neighbors house as he has a complete pro setup to do this.

 

[RevISK]

Another item checked off.
New FPR installed.
Seems to really help but I did replace the silicone nipples from my desmog that all failed so...

 

[Mike Shull]

I checked one item off of the list, too. The rear bumper is done and now that I have taillights again I have been driving it 60 miles to and from work a few days this week. All good so far!

The soft top door surrounds are ready for paint and I am waiting for the side brackets from Bestop. We had a little delay there.

I am getting really excited!

Man, you'd dent the earth with that cage. Mad skills! Keep the rubber down.

 

[Mike Shull]

This looks like progress!

That’s really great news. Faster progress than I expected. Does the county see a lot of tourism dollars that motivate them to do this work?

I know my county here in the flatlands doesn’t get too excited about much.

 

[DrRock]

I’d wager it’s a combination of a low snow year coupled with ensuring good tourism optics which are helping move this along quicker.

 

[Mike Shull]

I agree with DrRock. I bet that the initial longer timeline was also based on expected funding as I heard concerns earlier in the year about how they might fund this work.

Ouray doesn't mess around clearing the roads. I'm shocked it took this long . Wish telluiride was the same. I haven't seen any info about the back side of imogene ..
