Had a great time this weekend. Met up with Brian1 and 410Fortune(Jamie) on Saturday. Started the day running Tin Cup Pass then ran Waunita & Black Sage Pass over to Old Monarch Pass to complete the circle. Sunday Jamie had to head back to Denver so Brian and I ran Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton...

I went down on Satuday and ended up running Hell's Revenge. The weather in the area was bad all week and ended up with a snow storm on Friday. Saturday's weather was almost perfect (a little cold). All the rain turned the normally sandy areas into small lakes and made for some interesting...

Its about that time of the year to start plannig our annual trip to Moab. I figured I'd get the fire lit and see where it takes us.

I need to replace the sub in my X and need a little advice from thoes in the know. I'm running a Kicker Impulse IX402 amp (see specs below) bridged mono into a Q-Logic stealth box. What would be the best (I'm not looking for a competition high db system, just want clear relatively deep base) 10"...

I'd love to tell everyone how it drives, but it still isn't finished. The kit is awesome and everything goes together well. I do have one complaint though. The adapter that goes between the engine and the tranny needs to be notched to ease the installation the head pipe. Also, if you are...

Return From Moab (Warning: LONG) What a weekend! I met up with Gerald just west of Gand Junction Thursday afternoon and departed on one of the best weekends of wheeling I have ever had. After setting up camp I met up with Gerald, Diff Wack Daddy, offroadKC and his guest in a Jeep TJ and headed...

Ouray Aera Run 7-5/7-6 I met up with Gerald Gerrett on the first leg of his world wind wheeling tour. He arrived at my parents place in Colona, CO late Friday 7-4. After a shower and a good night's sleep we got up and headed out at 8:00 a.m. A quick stop for fuel and ice and we were off to the...

While running Battlement Mesa Saturday I decided (or mabey it decided) to roll a bolder down the underside of my X. Needless to say, the transfer case skid plate can't support the weight of the vehicle.

One of the local Jeep clubs is having a "4WD Vehicle Show" on Saturday July 12 from 10am-2pm at the Veterans Memorial Park (fair grounds) (Hwy 50, Oarchard Mesa). Anyone interested (I don't want to be the only Explorer there)

Since it looks like the Truckhaven event will be in January of '03, what are the chances that anyone would like to do Moab over Halloween weekend? The 31's is actually on a Thursday, but would anyone be interested in going on Nov. 1-3?

I found this the other day and felt it was something everyone that has dealt with the front seal leak should see. "A few words about the Ford A4LD transmission: This common transmission has problems with pump bushing to converter hub damage that results in front seal "blow-out", short unti...
