1) If you have parts on the vehicle you are driving across the country that make you think to yourself "I wonder if those are going to last through the trip" it is best to replace them BEFORE you leave!
2) If those parts are brake lines, and you are going through mountains, for the love of god, replace them.
3) If one brake line goes due to rust (front) it is likely another (rear) will go out shortly (5 miles), so replace them all.
4) If you have to do repairs on the road the local NAPA parking lot is the best place to do them.
5) Never, and I mean NEVER knock on Led's door after 10pm without calling first! :hang:
6) You are much more likely to sustain body damage being careless on an easy trail then being careful on an extreme trail.
7) Sheet metal is no match for Colorado rocks.
8) Colorado rocks!!!
9) Pam on the underbody (plastic) skid of a rock buggy helps it slide over rocks better.
10) Cryco 8.25's really like to catch rocks.
11) 35's for Carnage Canyon is more of a recommendation than a requirement (just like speed limit signs).
12) If you are going to run Carnage Canyon without a winch you better have someone with a winch in front of you nutty enough to hang a u-turn on the trail. (Thanks a ton Led)
13) If you get into a fight with your early model Cherokee steering wheel the steering wheel will win. :nono:
14) Washboards roads to the trail head will do more damage to you Jeep than any moderate trail.
15) The trail to Holy Cross City really likes to eat my tires and tie rods.
16) If you put a shiny new (stock) tie rod on your Jeep before wheeling, you WILL bend it. :doh:
17) Wheeling with the group is great no matter where you wheel!!! Thanks to all! arty:
B-loose
