Took the snowmobile trails (452 and 8) from Paradise to Grand Marais MI. Had some pretty big water holes, only pic of a smaller one. The burn zone near the two hearted river is getting green again.
And, crossing the Mighty Mac of course
Took the FZJ-80 on the Magruder Corridor trail this weekend. I only made it about 40 miles of the 110 but had time limitations. I will be back! The trail begins (or ends) in Montana and ends in Idaho. The trail divides the Frank Church, Selway and Gospel Hump Wilderness Areas. These pictures do not do the area justice.....

Put new brushes in my original 1994 alternator (264k) and re-installed it after removing the new, custom built 140amp unit that would not charge at idle. After calculating total amp load in a scenario where I am wheeling at night in the winter while it's raining and I'm jamming out to tunes of choice while lighting up the trail before me better than necessary, I concluded that my stock 80 amp alternator is more than sufficient anyway. Glad to have my $276 back. Now I can order a Tuffy center console lock box with the coveted cup holders! 
Tried to repair antenna mast - failed miserably
Drained it of accumulated water!!!! We had probably four inches over the 4th and I left it outside for a free car wash. Must have clogged roof drain - passenger side sounded like I had a gallon of water sloshing around and it turns out I did.
Drained under siphon for a solid five minutes. Yeesh!!
Drained under siphon for a solid five minutes. Yeesh!!
BTW the floor pan drain plugs are easy to access. Unclip the sill trim and pull carpet back a bit.
I knew the old TRE's were worn out, but damn, what a difference all the new stuff made. Couple of runs down the interstate, no more wander and darting around, rides like its supposed to. New brakes, steering, suspension, its a whole new rig!
97 LX450 250K on the clock. Two tough weekends in a row. Last weekend Popped two tires hurrying to a rescue on a virtually abandoned FS road ( do you think 30 mph on rocks with almost worn out tires and not taking time to air down was asking for it? New tires last monday. This week started throwing 171, an 172 codes with intermittent extremely rough idle. Read the threads, studied the FSM and dove in to it today. It would come to power on the road and feel fine then drag and the O2s would peg at .89 volts, then would drop to zero. Did the same thing on Both CNG and on Gasoline, so I knew it wasnt fuel pressure etc. checked throttle position sensor, O2s, per FSM. Switched Mass Air from my 97 LC , Terrified it might be in my harness by the EGR. Just when I was going to give up for the night I started it up one more time to read the OBDII values and the red light above the instrument panel volt meter started to flicker. Got it! Looked inside the terminal block for he fuseable link and there it was. broken wire at the crimp on the connecter that was touching/connecting randomly. Had a new link and block on the shelf.... problem fixed. Tie rod ends and front alignment tomorrow. Wife is having a hard time understanding the grin on my face when I came in.
Very true. I would be willing to bet almost all failures are torque related. Even shops are lazy about it. Checked mine today, still good.
13.6 is good by me.
Whare does this start at?
This trail starts west of Darby, MT and ends over near Elk City, Idaho. You can google the trail and get lots of maps and info.
Loaded up the 80 with the wife, my brother, and the dog and went to explore Bald Eagle State Forest in central PA.
Made my own axe and shovel mount but couldn't find my axe 
Glorified car camping for a 4 night weekend at the local state park...good times and good weather considering it has been raining for oh about the last month.
