Just drain enough into a clean bucket to get below t-stat level, you dont have to but it wont make near as big of a mess when you pull the hose or the housing. The. Just pour coolant back in when done.

Well parts showed up today... finally. But nothing is going to get done until the end of next week at the earliest

Next week is finals week, so can't have any distractions. Can't wait for the semester to be over so I have more time to work on the Ex.

96EXXLTinCO · April 30, 2016

At least they're there, and hopefully the right ones!! I'm in the middle of moving everything into storage, looks like we're moving to a cabin up by Black Hawk for a few months, and....."sigh".......no garage. So wont be able to do much on it for a while. Good luck with finals, I hope you kick their ass!!

timtimtimajim · April 30, 2016

Luckily they sent me the right stuff!

No garage, that's rough. I don't know what I would do without a garage. Not working on a car drives me crazy.

You said it. I spend most of my time either online researching stuff for the truck, or in the garage working on one of em, so if we do go up there (Landlady isn't answering now

) then I'll either be crawling in the dirt or just not working on anything. Plenty of trails close by though, so it's not all bad. Don't know what we're going to do if she doesn't answer, we were supposed to go up and check it out today.

For now I'll keep taking crap to storage and we'll see what happens?

Glad you got the right parts, it's frustrating enough when you go to the parts store and get the wrong stuff, but you had to wait for em in the mail, and then have to send em back and wait for replacements? UGH!!

timtimtimajim · April 30, 2016

People can be so flaky some times. Hope you get it figured out.

I would almost rather crawl around in the dirt, than not working on something. But as long as you have trails nearby that kinda makes up for it.

Yah the people at the parts store know me on a first name basis now (not sure if that's good or bad :scratch

Speaking of trails, not sure if you've seen this.

Just saw this the other day, but there was a court settlement between the Forest Service and a bunch of environmental groups back in November. Basically a bunch of trails were put in without the proper environmental studies and without community approval apparently. Some environmental studies have to be done now and it's possible that a bunch of trails are going to get closed, and a lot of them are up off gold camp road and they are ones that I run pretty often.

I'm going to keep watching what happens with it. Really don't want them closing those trails.

It's a mix, the bad is that it means your wallet is getting beat up, but it's good when they get to know you, somehow it just makes things easier in my opinion.

yes, I actually heard about this a few months ago. There is some off Gold Camp, but there is A LOT in the Rampart Range area. The forest service messed up, and now environmentalist groups who think all public lands should ONLY be used for what they want to use it for is all over it. This is a much bigger deal than just our trails locally. The outcome of this can set the precedence for what happens with trails all over the country. Anytime I'm on trail, I'll take pics of people off trail and report them, I take pics of shooters and their vehicles and if they dont clean up.................yup, report em. We need to keep the jerks that make us look bad in check, and it is up to us, because the forest service does not have the manpower, but always have evidence too!! This really is about the Forest Service just adding trails to the MVUM's without doing the studies that are required first however. Trails are already crowded enough, we don't need to lose any and make it worse.

Yah it's totally a select few that make the rest of us look bad. The people I usually run trails with and myself, whenever we run trails we try to get a full bag of trash per vehicle. Every little bit helps. We also like to keep our eyes open for any one violating rules and report them when we see them.

A good one that is really effective with shooters, I'll make sure they see me taking pics of their license plates, THEN I will approach and ask them politely to make sure they pack out all their targets and trash, and to NOT shoot at live trees as they are much denser and can cause ricochets, plus IT KILLS TREES. I have yet to go back later and it not be all cleaned up.

Somebody posted this on Stand Tall today:

The fight is real, but I don't do politics, so I contribute the best way I can and that's out in the field. If you haven't already, join up on Stand Tall Colorado 4X4 on Facebook. Mostly all Front Range wheelers. Or you can PM me you're Facebook info and I can add you. I'm also in Mile High Ranger Based Vehicles on Facebook also. You should check em out, cool people on there and peeps always getting together to wheel.

I like that. I'm going to have to start doing that :thumbsup:

I joined up on stand tall. Can't seem to find that Ranger page though. I'll keep looking...

Thanks for the link. Went ahead and hit the join button. Just got to wait to be accepted.

Love your Sport bro! I came really close to getting one just like it a couple of months ago. The guy told me it ran great. I drove 4 hrs one way to check it out with cash in hand. Got there and he wouldn't let me test drive it. Needless to say I told him to shove it. I found a 94 on CL a week later and I love it. This is the 2nd gen 1 Sport for me and it's a keeper. As soon as I figure it out I'm going to put up some pics.

Thanks man! I don't blame you. I would never buy a car new or used with out test driving it first. Would love to see some pics of your Sport. First gen Sports are my favorite.

To post pics you can either become an elite member or use Photobucket and copy and paste the IMG link from there.

Fordman4eva · May 8, 2016

Took a few snaps of it. Downloaded photobucket app onto phone. Gonna try to put some up. My Sport looks a little different than a normal one lol...

Fordman4eva · May 8, 2016

Crap! Well I learned how to post pics lol. Idk why it's so damn big though!

timtimtimajim · May 8, 2016

I'm not seeing a pic, but it looks like you edited your post. Try resizing the picture on photobucket first.

Fordman4eva · May 8, 2016

Yes that joker was 100 feet wide lol. I'll get them back up asap. I'm going to make a new thread here and post them.
