Finally got her cleaned up since Rubithon. Detailed the interior and had her belly steamed. Now I can paint the under chassis.
Didn't realized that my rims are blingy when they are cleaned up! Time to paint them graphite silver. It's got a lot of rock rashes too...
Congratulations to Anthony @RadarFJ40 on his new rig! He sold his v8 powered 60 after Rubithon and he picked up his first pink panties from SoCal on Friday afternoon and stayed with us for the night here in NorCal. Then drove home to Washington in the morning. Welcome to the 80 family! errrrr... 450!

Did some serious off-roading with my lovely bride. Got intentionally lost in some forests. Popped out to this site in Gnadenberg - St. Brigitte von Schweden Cathedral ruins.
Then we found some ripe, red raspberries. Yum!

That's Gold Mountain on the East side of the lake just past the airfield. There are two fun spots at the beginning and one near the top. Lots of bristle cone pine to be in awe over. Otherwise it's lots of pulverized granite and marble. Trail takes about 90min front to back. It's not very challenging at all though. It's more about scenery. You just need 4wd and high clearance. No lift means you will damage bumpers and running boards if you have them...and I know you don't
Holcomb and Dusy are there too. Dusy requires a little more out of the truck and the driver.

Installed the 4x4 labs rear bumper, it was a pain due to rust. Broke two bolts that attached OEM receiver hitch to frame and one that held spare tire carrier. Harder than it should have been. Hadn't ever cut a vehicle's frame before either, that was fun. Nice bumper - nicer than the rusty rear end it's attached to.
I think a lot of people there just air down and cruise the beach or hit the dragstrip. Not necessarily dune climbers. Why those guys decided to try that is nuts. Everyone was waiting to run those holes but no leader. I should have gotten pics but one time i did it a bunch of jeeps started following me. Was nice to lead the way!
The trail is called gold mountain, very cool trail with about 3 little sections of good but not terribly difficult obstacles. Rest of it simply bumpy. That area is full of service roads with great scenery. Btw ther are quite a few very large bristle cone pines along that trail, hidden gems of that trail most people don't pay attention to.

So my son borrowed the 97 today while we were doing a roof rack delete on his 94. He pulled in and asked if it was normal to be leaking like that. Any guesses what was spewing? What a PITA that was. Took about 2 hours to change but had me thinking at least a dozen times "how in the heck am I going to do this?"
Just another reason that 3FEs RULE!

I got some new recovery gear. I'll post pics in my build thread when I'm finished painting everything

We tried to hike down to some other potential waterfalls in the area. Total failure.
Next time.
