Several months later... I have learned about the draining (or lack thereof) issue with these Jeeps and performed the "cut a hole in the wheel well and stick a hose on the nipple thing" repair. I also put silicone around the drain outlet in an attempt to keep wayward water from running back into...

My mom and dad are giving us their old pop-up. I know already that the cable system needs to be repaired as it isn't working at all right now. Other than that, it's in decent enough shape. We're not going to be dragging this thing into the boonies anytime soon, for sure. We're going to just...

The in-laws gave us their 97. I've been working my way through the litany of repairs as well. Got it running mostly well, most of the time. Next will be a small lift, but that's way down the road. Got a kid coming in June that's going to be the resource priority for quite some time. I like what...

Wish I could help you some. My in-laws gave us a 97 with the I-6. I'm learning as I go as my experience is all with the TJ, YJ, & CJs. We've had ongoing issues with the PCM and I've found all kinds of "fixes" in various forums. I've tried a few and to my surprise, the thing has gone from being...

It's been running great, except for when it's raining. I cleaned all 3 connectors to the PCM with an electrical connection cleaning spray and put a bungee really tight around the connector on the far left (by the fender) to keep it tight. I've found that when it refuses to start, just reaching...

Thanks, I'll look that over. Good to know about the PCM as well.

Almost 2 weeks since I did the "repair" mentioned above. Other than one pretty major hiccup that occurred during a deluge of rainfall, the Jeep has been running excellently. We have had no stalling, no burping or farting, zero problems. I think the one hiccup mentioned is due to a poor...

I run with alot of street bikers. Know quite a few people with Spyders. Every single one of them loves it. I haven't ridden one - went to a demo day all excited and then saw they had set up some cones and a little track in the parking lot. So much for that. Right now I enjoy my cruiser more than...

So we've been driving this thing pretty regularly. My wife is using it as her DD and I've driven it once to work (110 or so miles roundtrip). It has continued to be about 80% dependable and 20% serious PITA. Some days it runs great, with no issues. Other days it dies at idle, dies going down...

We've looked at Tallgrass - definitely on the list. They don't have camping available directly at the area, but we'll probably do a day trip up that way once the rain stops and it cools off a bit.

We're looking at heading out Labor Day weekend for some camping and hiking to kind of get started. Then for our first anniversary (yay!) we're looking at going to Natural Falls State Park in eastern OK to camp for a long weekend in late October. They have several trails there, also and it should...

Never used my winch for anything yet. I grew up on a farm and have been using Hi-lifts for 30 years for various things - stretching fence, lifting buildings, you name it. I've fortunately never been bitten by one, but some of our Arizona members may remember a couple suspicious dents in my ZR2...

Hello Sunflowerstars. You seem like a really cool person and I'd like to get to know you better. In fact, maybe we should get married or something. :-)

My wife and I want to start hiking. Neither one of us in presently in great shape, but we're working on that, exercising several days per week. Eventually we'd like to do the big hikes that always come up - the Appalachian and Pacific Crest. But that's for another time. Wichita isn't so much...

This is fun reading! I made some long runs on my motorcycle last summer in full-gear. One trip I remember how much I drank. I have a 3 liter camelbak. From Austin to Wichita I drained it twice. I also drank 2 32 oz. Gator-Aids and a super big-gulp iced tea. I believe the temp on that day was...

Hmm... It's 1000 miles from here to there. Looking at maybe trying to get back out that way perhaps in Fall, 2014 for our 2nd anniversary. I love southern AZ - lived in Tucson for a couple years - Campbell and Limberlost - the apartments right behind the Trader Joes. They were just starting...

First pic shows back tires spinning helplessly. Second you can see the strap. Can't find the video I shot of Brian (Goodtimes) pulling him out. I'm sorry, I don't recall the name of the gentleman with the Toyota.

I may have some on my other computer. I shot some video, but had a hard drive failure and couldn't recover everything. I'll try and remember to look for them when I get home tonight.

I'd like to see existing roads left open as well, but I still keep thinking about last time I was in Colorado - that was when I met you and your wife, Alan. Some of the places I went exploring were way back in BFE - didn't see another vehicle all day on some of my rides. And there were still ATV...

Where in Baja? I have family in El Pescadero (coast north of Los Cabos). I don't think they're doing medical work now (medicinal cannabis, maybe, heehee), but I believe my aunt's an RN. She might know something for the southern tip of the peninsula if that's where you're looking.
