What hose is it Daniel? Might be able to hunt down a replacement just in case. ID of hose on both ends and approximate length? Might not be exact OE replacement but a good backup just in case.

Yes, much good luck with this. You're doing a lot and on short notice. Let's hope it's good & we see you @ SAS2
I’d kill for a trailer!
I’ll go look in a min and snap a pic. Feeding kiddos now.
@POTATO LAUNCHER Looks like 1 1/4. Somewhat of a weird shape.

Worst case a Dayco 1 -1/4" will fill the gap. About 14" seem right?
Looking at the KOA map and I only see one structure labeled "Bath & Showers" Hard to believe there's only one with 100+ camp sites.....?
I think one is back by us and the other is near the front. Didn't you guys stay one night there last time?
Yes we did...out in the back.
This year I told KOA I was with SAS. They put us in #58. Is that the right area?
Yessir, they agreed to put all the heathens and trouble makers way back out of sight.
That whole back tent camp area will be full of some extremely cool rigs in a few days. One more day and 12 will be rolling your direction. Sure you don't want to hop in? I promise we are not doing 6 hours on Stoney Pass this trip. Enjoyed that one. Don't think I want to drag the trailer over it again unless I camp where we had lunch.
As it should be.
If you think I'm a trouble making heathen now, you should have known me 20....make that 30 years ago.
Heathen must be a Texas term. Don't hear it much anyplace else. One of my old buddies rodeoed a lot down Texas way and he used that a lot.
Ole Roger also had a saying I like:
"You only cut one trail thru life. Better make it wide and deep."
And Roger followed his own advice.
Knocked out 380 miles today. Looks like a bit over 8hrs to Amarillo which I'm thinking will take closer to 10hrs. Should be there about 5pm.
I liked Stony Pass just fine.
The convoy is tempting but we want to see some new scenery on the way. That plus sleeping in the 60 is fine for a couple of nights. Much more than that and it might take a winch to get me out of it in the morning.
If John's going thru Taos wonder why his inbound route takes him thru Gunnison?
We're going to Taos then north on 64/84 to Pagosa Springs, then over to Durango to catch 550 to Ouray.
But today I heard the had burn scar flooding at Ute Park NM and the road was closed.

Not a bad day's drive, I'd say. Keep on truckin'.
We'll be towing the FJ60 on a dolly behind our Silverado with Lance Camper, and want to avoid the steep passes. North Pass on CO 114 is a nice drive, and US 50 drops us off in Montrose, not far north of Ridgway and the KOA. On the way home we'll head over Dallas Divide and take CO 141 into Dove Creek. That'll take us through Cortez, Shiprock, and Farmington on the way to US 550 and home.
All in good fun Jim. It takes a unique mindset to drive an antique vehicle cross country, hit the trails and then drive them home. Glad to be part of this unique group of people.
Hi John. Thanks for the explanation.
Just bought a nice Cummins powered '93 Dodge W250. Has us conjuring a slide-in truck camper and towing the 60.

Success! Just did a test drive and she shifts nice. I did the @Tools R Us mods to crisp up the shifts and it is perfect.
Slight mess and I'm completely exhausted. Step #6 time, then bed. Lots to do tomorrow and will probably have to organize my gear when I get there but I'm heading out!
