Hello. Used to be in Danville area (20+ yrs) - now in Lamornida for a year.

Mind giving a shout out for the shop - needing to replace the exhaust on my 94 soon.
Thanks

Certainly, its Minute Muffler in Dublin....guy named Scott runs it and is super cool. Check with him a few weeks before you want to get it done, everyone likes him and his schedule fills up fast. I've had him do lots of work on several different cars for me and will vouch for his workmanship.

Winner of BEST Patina.

Can't possibly brag on the Event coordinator, volunteers, sponsors, and ONSC members who made me feel right at home. I went, not knowing a soul, and had a blast. Drove places in my unlocked stock rig that shocked me. Never stuck, limited wheel spin in the chute, and flexed on two wheels at one point. The pucker factor was strong with this event.

Comet.
The patina inside the gas tank was even better. Heard great things about the ride.

Fixed a pretty nasty rocker rust spot under the trim on my lx. I then sprayed all rockers with por15 and sem tintable bedliner. I did put trim back on.

Completed Part time install and put my OEM front shaft back on! :cheers:

I've got a 1 year old Tatton DC shaft for sale. :D
 
Oh, and a nice set of 4"x4" solid 1" thick aluminim transfer case spacers. :p
 
Friend sent me some pics from last weekend trail work day. We cleared what seemed like a countless number trees off the trail. Here a larger one I'm winching after some axe work by the group.

Definitely.
Good to see another Northern MN person on here. I live in the Twin Ports. Drop me a line if you are ever in the area and want to talk Cruisers.
 
My rig took me and my son, kayaks on the roof, and camper in tow, out to kayak the west branch of the Susquehanna river over two days, then over to Rickett's Glen state park for a couple more days camping with my wife and daughter.

The west branch was awesome. As remote as you are likely to get on the east coast. 22 miles of river, didn't see another soul, and did not hear any man made sounds. We ended up camping roughly at the half way point next to a mountain stream. Slept like a baby :)

The 80 did not fair so well. Developed a rear pinion leak on the first leg of the trip. Then developed an overheating issue. It ended up being a long ride home, had to keep to the back roads and keep a watch on the OBD2 reader. I am surprised by the overheating issue. Drug the family, camper and kayaks all over the mountains of NH, NY, and PA last summer with no temp issues at all. Oh well, the fan clutch is now out and draining, new fluid should be here in a couple days. Hopefully that fixes things up!

Right up my alley! And only about 3 hours away from me. Doubtful I'll get up there this year, camping with my usual people is looking less and less likely. Where did you put in?
Good luck with the fixes!
 
Put in at Karthaus, took out at Keating.
 
This just happened.....today in the eastern Sierras, last day of vacation.....weird mud bog on nice dirt road swallowed up passenger side, diff's, track bars hung up and both cats, muffler and pipe were just touching ground!

Ill have to say this is the first time i was happy to see a jeep driving up....got out with no damage to exhaust!

Had rocks in between rotor and backing plate on front so had to take off tire and pry out 3 rocks with screw driver...goodness..lol

One of the few times when having a high lift jack is handy. Jack it up, put some large rocks under your tires and drive away.

I don't see any trees nearby so a winch wouldn't be much help unless you had a pull-pal winch anchor. That would be more handy and less work than a high lift jack.
