Who can I bribe to help me with a valve adjustment? Never done a valve adjustment but I have developed a tick when the engine is under load. So I’d like someone to take a look at it with me before hitting the trails and the cross country trip back to MS.

Bring your feeler gauges. Pretty simple really.

 

[Dilspec]

Just about halfway there.

Safe travels everyone.

Think I should take a leak and re-weigh?

Awesome! Super sad we won’t make it this year. Hope for safe travels and that your newest addition loves it...and makes it easy on you guys.

 

[Dilspec]

Thanks @Ocho77 going to miss you and the gang. The family decided to sit this one out. The baby doesn’t like to sit in car seats too long.

Hopefully next year.

Operation last minute axel seals blowing is underway. New seals, drums, brakes, and a hub paint job.

 

[John McVicker]

Maureen and I are here. Where is everyone??

First leg complete, Peggy and I are at the hotel in OK City. Only 700 miles to go tomorrow!

 

[Dilspec]

Just squared out 800 miles, got about 100 to go to the KOA.

@John McVicker is camp pretty quiet? I have a random spot for tonight.

Hoping for a restful night after this 1300 mile trek lol

 

[John McVicker]

Camp appears to be near full. But still very quiet.

We ate dinner at the KOA restaurant, it was SERIOUSLY delicious...and a great value. All the help were wearing masks as were all customers until seated.

Drove thru town and everything seemed to be very busy...restaurants, bars etc. Every single hotel that I looked at said No Vacancy.

 

[Manitou Decline]

Well rear axle seals are DONE. Rear brakes need to be a bit tighter. @The Phoenician I see you marine silkies and raise you ranger panties with a beer. See you all Monday.

Leaving from logan utah Sunday morning. (Northern Utah ) looking forward to it.

 

[The Phoenician]

Made it to fort Stanton, parking it for the night. Losing a bit of oil and blew a boot in the most annoying location. Will deal with it in the morning. Drive safe everyone.

Blowing things in an annoying place..... like the back of a Volkswagen?

Like at the small turbo and the pipe that goes to the inter cooler. But it’s between the large turbo and AC. So little room to maneuver. I have a spare silicon boot but might need a longer one to clamp correctly.
