Same here. I had my 4G MiFi from work with us at the beach, but I didn't even look at my phone more than twice for anything other than weather. That and to tell my supervisor how to look up a crash report I did before we left :rolleyes:

Weenie and the Butt in the Morning!



Class of 02.


Towing 1500 miles with a truck that still had paper tags probably wasn't the best idea, but I am now firmly in the 'buy a good tow rig and it will make the trip 100x better' club. Set the cruise at 70 and roll out. Made the 14 hour drive to FL almost a pleasure, 7.3L for the win.


That should about catch me up with the last 20 pages.

Thinking of a few minor tweaks to my rig before the Crawl. I have the Currie Hd steering and was thinking the goferit tie rod flip might help a bit.
On the other hand I haven't had problems hitting the steering (yet) and my rig handles so nice I am concerned it would affect the steering.

Anybody wanna share opinions on whether it is a waste of time or a cheap mod that may save my Currie when I get into rough stuff down the road?

I've seen stock tie rods bent, but never really noticed anyone tearing one up from an impact.

I do, from time to time, hit the front diff cover with stuff, so I suppose you could smash it on something. I did the flip on the '91 a long time ago before I went with rod ends and it didn't affect the steering at all. Moving it up probably fixed some of the geometry from lifting the suspension.
 
I drove Lar's truck yesterday and I pit it away with no gas.
She had to go somewhere today and was pissed at me and took my new truck.
While she was driving it it did a regen. I missed it.

I wish I had known you were going down there I could have hooked you up with some local flare. I used to live in Destin and I worked in Santa Rosa Beach.

If I had known I would have picked your brain a bit. We stayed at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park campground. Didn't do much besides go to the beach. Went to Fudpucker's one night for dinner so the kids could see the gators, typical tourist joint.

We plan on going back next year, I'll message you backchannel before we go for suggestions.
 
Just finished up a motorcycle BRC(basic rider course) given by ABATE at the local Government center near me. If you pass then you get your Motorcycle endorsement on your license. I never had any experience with them until this weekend. Sure I've ridden a few scooters but never anything over 50cc. It was a long weekend and am glad to have passed the class. I have so much confidence to be able to handle one now.

There were even guys/gals who have been riding for yeeeeears and they were having difficulty maneuvering in some of the exercises. Those same folks say they had learned on their own and wish they had taken the class if it was available when the first started out.

Initially before the class I thought I wanted a full bagger Harley to cruise on. After the class I feel that maybe I should start out with a Sportster, Night-train or Deuce for a first bike. I feel I need something easier to handle.

Anyone that has experience I would like to hear what your opinions are on what you would have done same or differently when you first started riding.
 
looking for some suggestions for the more seasoned folks on here as i get ready to rebuild things on the crash bandicoot (possible new nickname for my jeep since it is now survived 5 accidents...only one sort of caused by me). here is what i'm still looking for:

long arms...but i think either hobag or rock krawler are going to be my route of choice

wj knuckle swap steering parts...make my own or is there a good option thats not stupid expensive?

rear seats...i want to be able to fit 2 passengers in the back, but i don't want to put the full xj seat in

most of the other things i have or know what i want to buy...i'm going to fix the rear main on the mj and re do the vacuum and a few parts of the wiring. then i will drive the mj and the wj all summer/fall while i work on the xj. hopefully the xj will be mostly finished by the time the snow flies so i can park the mj and get to work on doing everything i need to it...

we shall see :)
 
I wouldn't buy without a title.

Saw a lifted cherokee go through Ledges by Reindeer Trail and a lifted WJ with moab stickers on 35N. Anyone here?
 
My office. Or bedroom. Not happy about the hours. A man with less patients would quit.

Didn't sleep worth a shit, neighbors lesbian 35 year old daughter that still lives at home had band practice all night.

Need to have a talk with her dad, again. He doesn't want me to make their lives Hell, but I will.
