Parker store has a TON as well, but the guy wouldn't let me wander around and just check stuff out.  Maybe I caught him at a bad time?

you must have pissed him off somehow,  I find myself just wondering around in there every time I go in.

I was supprised at the beating my Diff guard took on Boulder. IT was all bashed up. But it's doing it's job, well worth the $75.00 that it cost me. My TTB never showed anything becuse it was already like 1/4" thick and was the actual axle housing not a cover.

Here's another thought.. It's really expensive if you don't have a TTB to cut up.. But I hear that the Diff part if cut correctly fits perfectly over the Soild D44 Diff. And gives you a 2 or 3" lip all the way around it.

2. Shade. I agree. We weren't planning on blistering sun. Efforts have allready been discussed for next year. However, you cannot protect people from themselves. 2nd degree sunburns? No one was requiring folks to not put sunscreen or a hat or a umbrella on. It was a open gate all weekend. Not to sound harsh, but come on, take care of yourself.

Sun is sneaky - lots of burnt faces and necks that weekend. Add the "one chance" feeling of a once a year event, and people who would have gone home didn't. We as a population just don't deal with excess sun like that very often. I agree it is your own responsibility, but if it snowed in Phoenix on a trail run I would be watching for people getting hypothermic. I tried to buy a hat - I was surprised there were none for sale. I brought my own, luckily, but the tip of my nose would have blistered had I not put up the top on my rig Sunday.

Again, not your fault, but it would have been nice to have shade for sun, and tarps for rain. I have a 20x40 and several 20x20 tarps - doesn't everybody? \':24:\' I would like to make my rain stuff available next year - if it rains or suns, it helps.

Dirt- I hear you. Most of the time quick special orders are not very cost effective. UPS is outrageous up here. Slow boat is very reasonable, but just that...slow. There is no easy way around freight to Alaska. Some people are lucky to use friends containers to ship stuff, but most use the boat method. This is tough to guage as far as time goes.

Basically....

 The club is now Incorporated
As of June 3, 2004 Alaska Extreme Fourwheelers is recognized as a Nonprofit Corporation by the State of Alaska.  You may begin to notice small changes on the webpage and club related correspondence as the club will be referred to as "Alaska Extreme Fourwheelers, Inc." for official purposes.  

I would like to point out that there are no changes to our by-laws or current procedures due to this new status.  Accurate treasury report and meeting minutes now have legal importance, but because that was already being done this year no changes are necessary.

Incorporation is a big step (though it was relatively simple to complete) in giving the club a professional image as well as helping to mitigate risk when organizing events such as the Meet and Greet.  A big thanks to club member Rob Corbisier for getting this project completed.



This will help us in the future. When organizing events, being incorporated gives us more options. We are non-profit, so it has various benefits when putting on things like the Meet and Greet. No worries guys, not much is changing as far as our goals. 1. To go wheeling! 2. To protect our trails!

The temp's an easy one to confirm if it's just the gauge, once the engine is cool enough that he can squeeze the top hose easily and have it collapse, then it's cooled. And if it still reads 250 then, it's obviously a guage/sensor problem.  

The oil pressure one, he'd have to crack something open, like the valve cover and then start it,  and he should see oil squirting out of the rockers I believe.  This still doesn't mean he has great oil pressure tho, it just means he has some.

Wait.. so Phil already has his exhaust pipe run so it exits inside the truck, fairly close to the driver's seat I assume, as you never mentioned "4. jump out of vehicle." and jumped right to "4. Place mouth over exhaust pipe and breath in."

Iv'e heard there are lotta good trails on Kodiak.


The road system is covered with old army jeep trails from WWII. Unfortunately, most of them have been closed off and grown over. There's still alot of fun places to play, but only one really good trail left, and it's only good after hellacious rainstorms and snow runoffs. At those times (like right now), it's REALLY good! In fact I can't wait to get back from the M&G to run it! Is completely impassible in the dead of winter, but by end of summer it doesn't present much of a challenge (ATV traffic and lack of rain make sure of that). I've made the 17 mile trek in 2WD many a time in August (with a rear locker).

One key issue, and this is a big one:  TRUST.  I have complete trust in you and your business, and that keeps me coming back everytime.  I trust you enough that I sent my girlfriend to you with my credit card and told you to "take care of her car's problem."  I pretty much wrote you a blank check, and you gave her honest service.  I can't say that there is anyone else in town that I trust enough to do that with.

The only thing that I could offer, is that I like to browse.  I will make impulse buys from time to time, if I see something I like at a good price.  This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have it in stock, but it helps.  Perhaps you could arrange a catalog of some sort that people can flip through when they drop by.  I know that I hate to bug you about prices of things if I know that I'm only looking (for a future purchase).

Even though you don't have showroom space, your display behind the front counter is a good start.  Having the winch ropes on the wall of your shop made it hard for me to resist getting one.  Maybe one way to increase your sales would be to have a weekly or monthly "special" on the board here.  Or possibly organizing group buys for a discount.  Just tossing out ideas.

The bottom line is, if you didn't change a thing, that would be enough.  As long as you don't start cutting corners or losing trust, things can only get better from here.  Keep up the good work.  \':1:\'

Really need a time to have everyone kill the toons. Mid night rolls around and the Kodiak boys crank the radios. In my opinion was just wrong, there where little kids trying to sleep and what not.


Kodiak Boys cranking tunes? Well, my kid and I were sound asleep at 11:30 Saturday night, and so were Fred, Al & Stacey. I know the Dodge was over at the bonfire late with the tunes cranking though, so I'll kick Dusty in the balls for you if you like!


Blaming the guys from out of town for all the noise is bullshit. Quit your fucking bitching. I saw about 30 or 40 people making noise and some playing music. I'll own up to my part in it but don't be pointing fingers. That shit aint solving nothing in my book. I think some people should suck it up a little and expect that at an event like this people are going to want to celebrate.

and they wanted an additional $125 for that?  hell, larry, it took you longer than it would have taken them since you had to download the program.  does this mean that the club owes you $125 now? \':24:\'

Wow, that's what I was wondering too.  $125 to convert to a program they already have a registered version of.  But hey, they're in the business of making money I suppose.  \':34:\'

That'd be $125 and hour, on hour minimum...
They are in the business of making money but they're also cutting us a really big break with some of the costs.  Karla @ Baybronze.com is very interested in having their company associated with this project and is bending over backwards to help us out.

We do need to make up about $200 more in donations though.  I understand if its just the time of year and all but would be very much appreciative if you could help out in any way you can.  We close enough I don't want to include any other organizations and have asked that the plaque include the Anchorage and Mat-Su Borough Off-roading Community because of the ever increasing donation from other than just the AKE club people.  I'll pay for the extra letters should it be needed, more than just the one group should be recognized as we've had donations from all over...

So keep it in the back of your mind that it is just $200 more that we need.  Also if you have connections with someone that might be able to help with the shipping let me know.  We could possibly include their name or company name if they choose to donate that towards the plaque.  Just a thought to present for those that work for the shipping companies. (i.e. FedEx, UPS, Yellow Freight)

For a buggy that sees only occasional road use, you will not have any problem with a home built driveshaft. Gus pretty much explained it, and if you do it right, you wont have any problems. But I suggest borrowing a dial indicator with a magnetic base from someone, and using it to eliminate as much runout as possible before welding. Its not going to be an issue for a buggy, but for occasional street use, you will be able to tell the difference between .007 and .030" runout. You might not be able to see it, but you can feel it at highway speeds.

No need for a lathe, or any other special tools. Just a saw of some sort, a grinder, and a welder. You can weld them with either stick or mig, or what ever. I've run them in the freak with as much as .030" runout. No problems. but dont forget to phase the yokes properly.

I wont bash Northern, because they get my buisness also, Ill only use em as an example.  Look at the showroom, they have ALOT of the "little" things that are vehicle universal on display like the lights, shocks, etc. and still have to order the "big" items themselves.

IMO, your in a different boat with shop space, you still have the 5 Star needs, maint, fluid changes, IM, rebuilds, your not just a 4x4 shop, so finding a space as easy as or equivelant to say Northern are and always be alot harder to do.

I am personally honored to be a part of this. It is a wonderful oportunity for us as a group to recognize some of America's airmen that gave their all for our country. Before this project very little was actually "known" about the crash, type of aircraft, when it happened, who the airman were and where they were stationed, etc. Now, thanks to Chaz for the research, we all know and can honor there memories. Very seldom do you see a project like this, and even more rare is the fact that the plaque we be set at the crash site.

I really think we need to spend some more time out in Chiniack and open some of those old trails up. That Sacramento valley trail could be a good one. That was one long day on New Years.

We couldnt leave him outside all night because the fence didnt go all the way around the house, and there is no gate. Went and picked up a peice of that plastic fence stuff... put across the opening, now he goes outside all the time.

His new thing is to lay up by the back window... he likes to be able to see. Wont be able to do that for long though.

So maybe consider a good winch, with a lighter pull, that you can better afford.

I am taking the risk on the Harbor Freight 8k - it is a low hp motor, so will be slow, but my rig is light - I think it will do very well - but if it smokes \':38:\'  - too bad for me.

Tekyota's 4500 is cheap, if you need to stay cheap. That and a pulley would get you out of trouble - really slowly, but with 9k of pull, it will do the job, most times.

Oops, knik glacier.. that's what I meant.

The butcher baker cabin... sweet!  The guys I ran into did seem sort of creepy.

So that big wide river is metal creek for sure?  It didn't seem that close to the glacier, and I thought there were several big creeks you had to cross.  The only somewhat big creek I crossed was jim creek, then two other small ones, and then I stopped at the bigass wide fast moving deep river.  :D

Bill Driving past the same rock.(Why do you Jeepers need Rocker guards for this section?)


Dave Decided to just drive over the rock. Wish I have lockers front and rear, I probably could have done that as well.


Greg driving by house rock, no problems..

Got seperated from the pack. I'm up at the end of the trail. Don't know what trail they headed off on.


Heading out.. Man that pit didn't look that deep, but I guess it was.


Greg started off the day with an open loop in his fuel system so him and gabe quickly fixed that at tesoro before we headed out. I don't beleive he had any other issues the rest of the day.

Bill didn't have any issues at all other then not having any lockers, but that Jeep still impresses me more every run what it can do with two open diffs.

Jason beat the bronco pretty good. Bent front and rear bumpers up pretty good, Broke both passanger side lights. Front was my fault as I was snatching him threw a couple trees and yanked to hard and pulled him into the tree. knocked his front fender back so his passanger door wouldn't open. And his AC pump clutch was taking a pop. He was open front and rear with 35" ATs. Probably no enough really for that trail.

Dave made it off the trail with no problems, but when we went to carwash creek his new fan shattered. luckly he had a secondary electric fan.

I was good till we got to house rock. I started leaking fuel out threw my filler neck. Went to pop he cap to see what was up but it was under alot of pressure and just spewed more gas. Then just about the same spot on the way out, I had a little electrical issue, melted my fuel pump wire from under the hood to under the dash and down to the fuel pump in the back. Hench the bring an extinguisher on runs.!!.

One way to tell if you had reached Metal Creek is if you had to drive across some of the spring busting rocks for near 2 miles. I bet you had only gone just under half way to the Ice Feild. Post up if you would like to take a trip out some time. You are sure to find a few that know the trail & can help you get in & out without much trouble.

Hmm well if that's one of the trails for the m&g and anyone has any spare seats I'd like to come :D

Definately didn't go through any rock or ice fields.  
I dont know about taking my stock cherokee through there.  More importantly I dont know if I'll have my front tow hooks on by then.

Hey - I backed up into your main site - I have had that bookmarked for years - found it thru photography searches. Great photography.

That is actually the registration website for the Alaska Cruiser Trek 2003. There is also an "After Action Report" site for the ACT2002 (just pictures) and for the ACT2001. The Alaska Cruiser Treks have been hosted events aimed at folks from outside who want to come up for an run that they can't do anywhere else. A bit of real work combined with a bit of fluff. The kind of stuff none of them have ever had a chance to do before and probably won't ever again. We have just left the sites up, since they get a fair bit of traffic for the pictures and from people looking for info about future Treks. There are a couple of semi-proffesional photographers who run with us, but the rest are just plain old snap shots by vehicle enthusiasts. But when you have that kind of material to work with it gets easy to wind up with really impressive shots There are actually some much better ones than most of those on the sites. Some have been used in a couple of calenders, some have been used in Toyota Trails, and some have not been published or posted on the website(s).

Our actual club site is still under construction. It is a sub-part of the Cruisers Only site which is also in limbo because I haven't made the time to sit down with the friend who is setting it up for me (same person who put together the ACT sites, so I have high hopes for the final product) and give her any decent material to work with or input on where I want to go with it.  :(

And while we are basically Cruiser Guys, we are also running a few mini-trucks these days, and really couldn't care less what sort of rig  someone drives when we head out the trails.

The easiast way to reach these sites (for anyone interested) is to go to;

just my .02 worth. If some shop messes up, but offers to fix/remedy the problem for nothing, I think it's going a little far to totaly boycott that shop. Yeah, if they say "no our problem...Too bad...Go away" something like that then let them know you won't be back. But why even go back and tell them about it knowing that even if they try to fix it, you are just going to rub it in their face and then walk.

I would hope that if I messed up that I would at least get a chance to make it right, otherwise why bother?

That looks good.
Tom Woods in Ogden has one just like that.
He takes it down to Moab all the time, he builds drivelines right out of the back, its all boxed and quite a nice setup.
I've seen it on a few of the trails also, he'll go out to a broken drive line to fix it if he's in the area and there isn't anything else happening.
They're quite a neat little vehicle...

CO2 is stable, non-corrosive, and will not harm any tires, tools, metals, humans, pets, fish or anything else.

CO2 is stored as a compressed gas in liquid form at 600-900psi in a cylinder rated for 2300psi working pressure.  It is NOT like the horror stories your shop teacher told you about the Oxygen bottle rocketing through a brick wall.

CO2 expands as it changes from a liquid to a gas many times it's own volume.  What this means is:  When you have a 5 gallon can of compressed air...it's is good enough to air up 1 tire.  If you have a 5 gallon can of compressed (liquified) CO2...it has enough gas volume to fill about 40 tires.

CO2 systems have constant pressure.  The output pressure that the cylinder can put out will be the same from the time the tank is totally full to the time the tank is totally empty.

There are many other benifits to CO2.  If you want to know more please ask here or PM me.

So now what I want to do is replace mine with a CV.  Where can I get one?  How much do you think it costs?  I have done limited research on this part as I figured I would turn to you guys on the board.  (Besides, it gives you more chance to laugh at me.  :-p much like I got laughed at by Badcop last Friday for the way I was dressed.)  

Is there a way this can be a do-it-yourself type thing?  Can anyone help me once I have the fundage to buy it and stuff?

I had a good time talking to everyone, but not enought time to find everyone. So, if I didn't say hi, I am sorry. Not having rain as a factor was nice. We were free to get sunburned at will...most did. Paul and others, you are welcome. Hope everything went great for everyone.

Amazed me too seeing the morphine was so much in to me I would have talked to a cow about politics.
Speaking of politics that seemed to be what all of them wanted to talk about.
One lady seemed to think Murkowski, sorry Rob I just don't like him and I know you do..., was as bad as I do.  Said she had went to a small gathering, maybe 10 or so people, and all he did was talk gibberish and then tried to tie it all together and make himself look smart... Whoohooo

He explained how much it would cost to get it all subdivided and built up to be resaleable house lots, and then stated that "wouldnt it be much easier to just make the whole thing into an offroad park?"

The terrain is mostly flat and has some low wet spots.  If you draw a straight line from one corner of the property to the other, it stretches over one mile.

The cool part is that it would be an easy thing to monitor use of because there is only one road in and out, which could easily be gated, that runs right in front of the guys house.  The land itself is far enough away from other homes so that it wouldnt be bothering anyone noise and traffic wise.

He is interested in a mud bog track, motorcross track, obstacle course, possible camp ground, and in the winter the whole thing would be open to snow machines.  He is planning on a "carwash" of sorts to to clean the rigs before they leave the property.

He has several pieces of heavy equipment to use to build this thing.

What we need from the 4x4 community is input.  Websites for other offroad parks, copies of waivers, and any other info that you could provide so this guy can see what he will need to set this thing up.  Also if you post up in the thread that you would be interested in helping to build the park, or just interested in using the park, I can print it off to show him that people would indeed use it.

Obviously there would be a fee to use the park, but how much hasnt been decided on. That is another thing we can help with. What is the going price to get into such a place and what is fair?

You do need to be carefull pulling injectors, however. Catching or damaging o-rings is pretty easy to do, then you got leaks to deal with, too.

I don't know the Anchorage shops - but most should be able to do an injector flush. How many miles on your rig? It affects the chances of it not being the injectors. It's a good guess, but you might not be spending your money in the right place getting it flushed or peppering it with new parts. A compression test might even make sense. Start with the basics and work up. The good old fashioned spark anylizers can still tell a lot about combustion, too, so perhaps paying some diad time might be a good idea. A flush won't be a bad, thing, if you go for that first. It might just not make a difference on this one issue you are taking on.

I "think" NAPA etc. can supply you with a can of 3m injector flush, and perhaps there is a do it yourself kit. You have to seal off the in and out of the fuel lines to the fuel rail, and usually a hose screws on the pressure tap and attatches to the can. Start and run (poorly while on the stuff) until the can runs empty. Re-assemble fuel system and re-check for symptoms. Sorry I don't have good info on what is available, it's been years and I was a tech in a shop then - the kit was a shop tool, we just got the cans.

Oh, and the Snap-On flush system a lot of shops have - I have heard of good stuff on that. Oddball might have used one so could tell you the value of it, they were coming out about the time I got out, never used one myself. They fog the intake with a cleaner, and claim it cleans the injectors, the valves, pistons, O2, and even the cats. Not cheap, as I recall, however. A kit might be cheap and easy for you to do yourself.

My Grandpa suprised my dad (who I picked up in Pocatello) and I with a weekend long visit.

He is a 83 year old WWII vet and is a Cancer survivor.  That old bastard is Hard.  He wheeled 13 hours straight with us.  Polyester pants and all.  Never complained once and had a smile on his face the entire time.

My youngest boy Cyrus is his Namesake and they had never met up to this point (thanks Uncle Sam).  It was truly amazing for me to get 4 Generations of my family out on the trail and Jeepin in the Sun.

I didn't wheel the second day because Gramps wanted to hike the Arches in the National Park.  WTF!  That old man is everything I want to be.  Oh and it is funny as hell to watch my old man get called out.



Should help scumby get an idea of what he is opening up, too. \':21:\'

Rowdy-  I don't know man.  Alaska is awesome, Moab is awesome.  As for the difficulty of trails?  Well in my couple of days experience they are about the same difficulty but polar opposites....know what I mean.

Moab= shitloads of traction but insane offcamber and vertical climbs.

Alaska= Next to no traction with much less vertical climb.  Offcamber is also less on most of the AK trails.

Scenery=  I like the mountians and Glaciers better but the desert is AMAZING in it's hidden vista's and such.

That is a hard question but if I was forced to answer only one way I would say Alaska.  The remoteness and perill of every single trail run appeals to my sence of adventure, where in Moab you can just hike off the rocks to the interstate (even though you cant see it, you know it is there).  Alaska Help might be days away, Moab someone is going to come by in a few hours most likely.

Jay points out one item about the "pro" boxes - they secure your tools well.  My experience has been that the drawers tend to droop in the "cheaper boxes".  I think the Stainless Costco rig is nice looking - but check out the attention to detail - How well do the drawers slide?  How much stuff are you going to put in 'em - and will they droop? Put some weight in the drawers equal to what real tools (not cheapo imports) are gonna be in there, and see how it functions.  Consider whether it will wear out, since this kind of cash outlay could certainly return a life time of service.  My experiences with Snap-On and Sears is that they will make it right, no matter how old it is - I'm sure Matco and Mac are providing similar service, since that's how they can become popular.  

Find yourself a "pro" box at a pawn shop (unless you have to have "new").  It will probably come with a few tools and provide you with years of service.  As an asside - I find pawn shops the best place to by tools  - cheap!  By broken craftsman, then take it to the store for a free replacement!  There's my 2 cents!...tw

    a.. Never take a beer to a job interview.
    b.. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
    c.. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
    d.. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.
    e.. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still
         considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.
> Dining Out
   a..When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and
    pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the wine.
   b..If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers
    covering the label.
> Entertaining in your home
   a.. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a
         taxidermist.
   b.. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no matter how good his
         manners are.
> Personal Hygiene
    a.. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be
        done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
    b.. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days.
         However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good  money.
    c.. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend
        to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.
> Dating (outside the family)
   a.. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
   b.  Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting
        to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two
        years ago."
   c.. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some
        will say 10:00 PM; Others might say "Monday." If the latter is the
         answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
> Theater Etiquette
    a.. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up
        immediately after the movie has ended.
    b.. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven
         they can't hear you.
> Weddings
    a.. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
    b.. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
    c.. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a
         cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky
         appearance.
    d.. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this
         special occasion.
> Driving Etiquette
    a.. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even if the gun is
         loaded, and the deer is in sight.
    b.. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest
         tires always has the right of way.
    c.. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
    d.. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite
         to ask her to bring back beer.
    e.. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

Thats cool you can actually do that Brentt. My grand parents would rather sit on their ass and watch TV and smoke, then do anything cool.

Tech inspection?  Dropping a coil spring...um you do realize that it takes all of 5 seconds to put back in.  Yes it would have passed any tech inspection that you have ever attended.

I hate having my rig classified as junk because of the looks.  Ask anyone who has ever run with me more than a couple times how "junky" my mechanical systems are.  I go to great leangths to make sure my rig is up to snuff as best I can.  Sure things break, but that happens to everyone.  I have way more runs that ended with nothing more than filling the tires for the ride home than ended with me being strapped to the trailhead.  Hell my trailer has hauled more broken Jeeps to town than my jeep has ever been broken.

Plus 99% of the TJ's in Alaska have the same retention system I did/do.  A POS little clip.  It retains nothing.

Not to mention that my rear has more flex than is usable and is magnified even more by the Center Pivot strap.

As for the relatives.  Thanks.  They are the best.  Ofcoarse it all starts with my Grandpa, he is not lazy and instilled that in his family.  He is reaping the rewards now.

Youd be surprised how much abuse a stock dana 60 (frt or rear) will take if you drive with your head.

If youre gonna drive with your right foot, you probably need to open up your pocket book.

Very true Brennt.....I have more people ask me, when I'm the driving the CJ, where I got the snorkel from, than anything else. Out of the ordinary items (even though snorkels aren't that out there) brings attention to the vehicle and prompts questions and interests, boosting business.

I don't know much about building vehicles, repair and what not, but I do know I can look at another rig and say "That's what I want my Jeep to look like!" (From what I'm told my Jeep is going to look alot like Macro's.....only a little more yellow.)

I haven't added everything up yet, still need more sleep to be able to do numbers, but guessing we need just about $75-$100 more.
I think we're doing great and quite a few people have spoken up but needed to wait until their paydays.
So no worries, we are within reach of our goal, with just a bit more help we'll be there no problems.
The week is not over and I suspect a few of those that ran the Churchill/B-29 trail will now understand the need and help us out also.

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress...

Guess my ideals for this board and the owner/moderators differ. No problem really. I had some valid concerns and will deal with the lack of common interest. I suppose a private board for those of us who must deal out a ration of "carp" is in order. Alaska Extreme is capable of doing this, most the smack talkers are club members anyways. Actually, it will be a good thing. We will be able to conduct club business in a semi-public forum.
My original post was not intended to scare anyone off, attack anyone or revolutionize the board. I had some ideas and concerns and posted them in the proper section. Thanks for taking the time to address them. For the record, I don't know of many posts of mine that were edited or deleted. Most of my "anger" tends to be at veteran members who know me and have conversed with me in this manner for years. New guys are the life blood of this sport and are needed to ensure its survival. Chasing them off has never been my intent and would be foolish. True, some people don't belong in organized recreation (the guys that bragged of drinking and "smoking" on the trail) and should be informed of the consiquences immediately.
Some people may also think my posts are harsh or mean. Sorry, but I check this board through out the day and tend to give only quick replies. If you can't decipher condensed posts from rude, there is nothing I can do for you. Some people need to toughen up and others need to mellow out. I personally don't need to be reminded of rules, as I am quite capable of moderating myself. If it comes across rude or vulgar, I probably meant it that way.

I am sure you can put it at my parent's place in Palmer. In fact, my dad rides a Triumph - biker's hang together, y'know. It's just up the road from the Fairground, about one block up the hill on the way north from Palmer.

I talked to him again tonight, and due to the semi unsure weather situation, hes just gonna drive his Pickup.

Thanks though!

Hey ya'll.  Be alert out there.  I just came across this on the ASA (American Sand Association Inc.) website.

Pipe Bombs found in OHV Camps

Seems there's some sicko's out there that are pretty radical about thier cause.  (Sierra Club types)  Anyway, they have found 3 different bombs at 3 different camps.  The article only lists counties Clackamas (Oregon?), Douglas (?), and Ventura (California?)  I'm guessing at the states there.  Granted we are in Alaska, but if someone is psycho enough to plant a bomb at an OHV camp, I'm sure they are nuts enough to fly up here to do the same.  Just keep your eyes open for anything odd.

I can't wait for the M+G this weekend!  It'll be good for everyone to get out and actually do some wheeling and a little less bickering on the computer.  We'll have folks from all over the state getting together swap stories, and check out each others rigs.  Hope to see everyone there!  Especially you Frosty \':33:\'

Steph-  Marvin and Cyrus are as honery as ever.  Kinda shocked our trail leader when he got the finger from Cy and Marv told him to Jeb-it.  I had about half the guys saying Jeb-It by the end of the weekend...lol.

05 is going to rock.  I called and talked to Kurt some yesterday (as you know I am sure).  I seriously think we should extend the stay in Moab to about 1 or 1 1/2 weeks.  We would never run the same trail twice in that timeframe and there is more to see and do that I remembered from my mnt biking trip 5 million years ago.  Hell one full day will be taken up with hiking the Arches in the National Park.  One full day for a Jetboat ride up the Colorado and 5 days of wheeling is nothing for that area.

Most of the lower 48 guys think it is expensive there.  But we won't.  Hell they think that paying 12 bucks for a meal is outrageous.  Oh but I must say, bring your own beer.  They only sell 3.25% alchohol in Utah, even I think it tastes like water.  They do have a kick ass brewhouse that sells good stuff though.

There are a dozen places to park a RV.  All the trails are right around town and the cops didn't say a damn thing about all the buggies running around on the streets.  We are talking Freak Type Buggies.

Bring your running shoes or mnt bike though.  Your gonna want to run or bike in the morning just to experience the sunrise over the redrock canyon walls.

They have kick ass Mexican food too.

All in All as a Recreation Proffesional (Card carrying member of NRPA thank you) I am highly impressed with the way the town of Moab has developed thier infrastructure for tourism but still maintained strick balance for the environment.

Taco- You can make Moab in 4 hours from Ogden.  At least I did in the Dmax with a trailer in tow.  Just watch out for the Pryce canyon I about got killed in that thing TWICE!

Little Giant-  I have absolutly no intention of ever running any tire but a swamper.  They did just as good as the MTR's.  Infact I think I was the only person in the entire event that was running swampers or at the least one of the very few.  If I were to go to MTr's it would be for one reason only.  Onroad Ride.

I will say this though.  We had to drive through a little bit of mud before going up a waterfall on Poison spider.  It was more like a Sand Paste.  Well you only had about 10 feet of slickrock before you NEEDED all the traction of your tires.  The MTr's had a bitch of a time and had to spin em to clean.  My swampers were clean in one revolution of the tires.

The MT'r roll over alot more on the sidehills as well.  Swamper sidewalls are thick and stiff.  I ran 5 psi in the front and 10 in the rear all day.  They deform as intended but not nearly as much on the sidehills as the MTr's.

Siping a Swamper would be the cats ass.

We recieved a little briefing while at the Grand Slam in Moab.  Be careful, tell your kids to not pick anything up.  I mean it only takes a shoe box to ruin your entire life (or end it).

My kids were not allowed to pick up ANYTHING on the trail.  Sounds crazy and some think I should be wearing my tinfoil hat while I say it but I would rather error on the side of caution with my children.

ALSO-

Respect eachother while we are out on the trail.  Teach the New guys how to wheel.  And be responsible for your actions.  Some of you might recognize that as a Be, Know, Do statement.  It applies here.

Also be careful of the Mob mentality while wheeling.  I let myself fall victim to it last year and earned a trip to the Hospital because of my stupid actions.  Lets not do that again.

We ALL need to ensure that safety is the top priority for everyone.  Handsavers are a MUST for winches.  Get with RWC if you don't have one.  He will point you in the right direction (well he will point with what is left of his fingers anyway).

Make an effort to go out of your comfort zone and meet some new people.  Last year a few small groups never interacted.  Well we need to go interact with them if they are too shy.  Hell they are there to meet people and have taken the first step, nut up and go talk to them.  Those who attended last year can attest to the fact that I probably talked to them.  I made an effort to go meet and introduce myself to everyone.  It clears up a lot of misconceptions when we do that sort of shit.

HAVE FUN and I REALLY wish that I was able to make it this year.  Alaskans are a great group of people and I am proup to be associated with all of you.

FireMedic, I think you're right, I spoke with someone at the slavage yard on Boniface and they claim to have a working deal with the referee station ref.  I'm going to call Kurt and see what's up.  I'm going to be staying up here near Nenana for the next five years possibly and you don't get imed for plates out here.  I would be fine until I move to Palmer or Wasilla.  I did get some discouraging news from the one guy I could find with this swap.  He has a 97 TJ with a vortec 350 hooked to his five speed and claims he only got 9 to 10 mpg and I was hoping for more around 14-16mpg.  I was hoping to be the estimated 10.5 the supercharger supposedly gets with 35s, 4.88s.

Im so proud of her for sticking to her guns an making her dream come true.

Yep.  It's a good thing artists don't listen to the status quo that tell 'em they'll never make a real living.  Awesome that it doesn't sound like it's an argument your family gave her.

My aunt and uncle have been running a workshop/gallery on Cape Cod for 30 years mostly based on his stained glass and her paper/paper sculpture making.  In this older photo the whale breaching through the kelp (rightmost front pane) ended up taking in about $7k the same afternoon a friend finally convinced my uncle to "just slap a price on it" after years of alternately not wanting to sell it and thinking no one would pay what it was worth.

Yes they are.  They have a terrible propencity to bite.  Escpecially small children.

They are way to strong and aggressive to be using up good oxygen.  You need some serious experience with dogs.  Because if you had ANY you would know that Pitbulls are perhaps the gravest creation of man.

They will kill you and I don't care how well you "think" you have trained them they are a timebomb waiting to go off.  I can't believe you would promote such a violent dog to a total stranger.

I'll try to describe the 'con and surrounding areas for you all to make some decisions about the 2005 trip.  The Rubicon trail is located approximately 50 miles to the west of South Lake Tahoe.  From Vegas, it's a 10 hour trip with only 1 pretty big mountain pass for all you guys who are trailering.
What I would recommend is, after the caravan gets to the area, we camp at a place called Robbs Resort.  They've got a restaurant, bar, ice, food and any necesities you may have forgot.  Don't let the name fool you, it's not a resort. They have lots of parking for tow rigs and plenty of room for camping.  We would stay there 1 night and then drive 8 miles to the trailhead.
The Rubicon is not a long trail per say.  If you were busting ass, you could do it in a day.  The way we did it was wheel from about 8 AM to 5 PM and set up camp at Spyder lake (ref pic above)  Guys could play around or watch others in the box.  Now, one of two options after camping the night.  Stay another day, do some exploring, hiking, etc.  Or, break camp and head out to finish the trail.  From Spyder lake to the end of the trail are the Big sluice, old sluice and Cadillac hill.  Probably a good 6-7 hours of wheeling depending on how fast we go.
For necessities, prior to the trail you can get anything.  Once on the trail, what you pack in, you're taking out and that's about it.
To answer a couple of Brentt's question's:  Didn't stay in Tahoe although it looks really nice (read big $$)
For this part of your trip, if you are coming through Vegas, I would recommend making it a 5 day trip.  This would be a rough timeline because I know the grunt is all about a plan:
Day 1:  Depart Vegas 0800 and arrive at Robb's resort 6PM
Day 2:  Wheel to Spyder lake and set up camp, should be no later than 5PM
Day 3:  Stay to hike, fish, watch the carnage, relax, etc.
Day 4:  Wheel the rest of the way out back to Robb's resort and spend the night
Day 5:  Leave for the next leg

That's all off the top of my head, fire some questions.

I just tried to duplicate it in paint and it seems like if you have the same backspacing(measured from the outside(shiny bling bling) of the wheel to the bolt holes) the 15x8 while being a wider rim will only extend further in(closer to the LCAs), but the outsides would line up the same once mounted.

Is that right?

Busted rag joint.  They fixed it with just about an entire package of zip ties, but it worked.

Frightening to think that we crossed those mountains equipped as we were.  You had the world's largest bumper mounted tool box.  I had 31x10.5 BFG MT's, no lift, no winch, a TrueTrac front diff, and a 4 cylinder with carburetor, not to mention that I had my wife and a dog on board.  I would not even think of doing that again with such a vehicle.

I wasn't there on that trip, that's my wife's buggy with the hood up and a friend bent over working on it. It was the rag joint that let go and it was "fixed" with ty-raps. There are no rag joints in the steering now.

My Uncle raised pitbulls for a while, and he was nothing but nice and loving to his dogs.  The dogs have a mental deficiency due to years and years of inbreeding and selective breeding of only the meanest, nastiest dogs to get good fighters.  They are prone to more vicious and unpredicatble behavior than any other dog in the world.  They ARE dangerous, they ARE unpredicatble.  You cannot predict what will set them off, a swarm of mosquitos set of one of my uncle's and he ended up with a pitbull attached to his arm, simply because he was close by.  Another time the male pit mauled my grandfathers Australian Shepherd, and they had grown up together, the Shepherd was bigger, and older by about 5 months, he was the alpha male.  

Pitbulls are worthless..  How much real experience do you have with them?  From the sounds of it, you're just stating opinons you've heard from pitbull fanatics.

Tires/Lockers - How they go to gether, how they will act on/off road. How certain tread patterns will act on/off road

How far back does the (OEM Engine Only) law go back?
I've entertained the thought of going V-8 and when I spoke with the emissions commission they said it'd have to be a engine of the same year or newer and must still meet the same emissions of the original engine.
Of course that was over the phone and I didn’t get a name because it was a thought not an action, so I'd be fore doing a bit more research.
Then I'd make sure I got names and paperwork to back up whatever I choose to do.

As for the emissions thing, IMO it is on the way out.  To much money to keep going, as we've already seen from the Governor canceling the subsidies for the oxygenated fuel last winter.  And through it all the city didn't break a single day last winter...  If it can be proven the system is useless, and there are quite a few people who want to do just that, it'll go bye bye...

On board air is not complicated, if you do a internet search you can find vast info on the subect. I did an on board air setup on my previous cruiser with a 350. I used a stock AC compressor and modfied the hose block in the back. Had an inlet line with a filter through a inline air tool oiler, to keep the compressor lubed. You have to provide lube since it doesn't have a reservior like a york. I usually put slick 50 in the oiler and replinished it every other month, depending on use. On the outlet side the line went through a check valve to a oil seperator, then on to the reservoir. On the reservoir I had a pressure switch set to cutoff the compressor at 150psi, and kick back on at 90psi. Also had a rupture disc, 250psi (50 psi less than the reservoir max psi) and had a two way fitting that I ran hose to the front of the truck and the rear with QD servicing fittings.
I also had the clutch switched so I could turn it on or off when needed.  
The stock GM compressor can put out over 300 psi, but 150 is all I ever would need.

The guy at air liquide is VERY wrong.  Your rims need and oxidizing agent to rust...you won't find that with CO2...it has no free Oxygen.  Now compressed air...it has free Oxygen and Water....that is rust waiting to happen...but we all do it anyway with no real negative results.  The facts are these:

CO2 is stable, non-corrosive, and will not harm any tires, tools, metals, humans, pets, fish or anything else.


While in most instances you are right, CO2 can be corrosive.

In high concentrations it is. Also, when contact with water is made it produces carbonic acid.  There are also some warnings with this hazardous material (I don't know if they are only talking about high concentrations) and they are:
Section 3 : HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview:  Carbon Dioxide gas is colorless. At low concentrations, the gas is odorless. At higher concentrations it has a sharp, acidic odor. It will act as an asphyxiant and an irritant.
Carbon Dioxide is a powerful cerebral dilator. At concentrations between 2 and 10%, Carbon Dioxide can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased blood pressure and respiratory rate. Above 8% nausea and vomiting appear.  Above  10%, suffocation and death can occur within minutes.

Contact with the cold gas can cause freezing of exposed tissue. Moisture in the air can lead to formation of carbonic acid that can irritate the eyes. All forms of Carbon Dioxide are noncombustible.

Carbon Dioxide is heavier than air and should not be allowed to accumulate in low lying areas.

This info was taken from CO2 properties

Have you ever seen the inside of a CO2 tank after about 5 years? They become pitted. That is the reason they are supposed to be inspected every 5 years.

Get that shit fixed ASAP.  When I was wheeling the Rubicon last week, one guy in the club snapped his sector shaft in half on his Cherokee (J-20 box)  Pretty cool trail fix they did, he wheeled out with no problems.

So where are your pictures?

It does.  Truthfully as long as you have put on the uniform and were discarded with a honorable I think you have the right.

Infact if your a civilian you have the right to say anything you want as long as it is not directed at the soldier following orders.

Saying that we should not be in Iraq is fine.  Saying that Bush is a moron is fine.  Saying that soldiers are barbarians and root of all evil...that shit ain't cool.  (that was a general statement not directed at any one person)

Now onto the debate at hand.  Do you really think they are fighting for thier independance.  Shit man all they have to do is elect whoever they want in January....They have a Iraqi government in like 10 days.....

They are making it harder on themselves.  We are not the Isrealie's.  Incase you or anyone else has forgotten we did not start this bloodshed.

Yes we muddle with polotics behind the scenes most likely.  Read Oliver Norths book.  Truly gives a no shit look at wtf is going on over there and where this shit started (recent rash of shit).

This is gonna sound crazy maybe but the Al sader dipshit is the only one doing it right.  He says he hates the Americans for being in his country and that he does not want a democracy and he rounded up his boys and they are fighting for what they want and believe.  Now I would be the first to turn his head into a canoe but he is not Al quieda they are cowards.

It is a very good read.  213 glossy pages loaded with great pics and it covers nearly all topics about our sport.  A great book to keep in the shitter.

Super Swamper only makes one Q size still.  Q78 wich is a 35.5x11.00 and it comes in a Rim size of 15 and 16 I believe.

A Uneventfull trip up wishbone trail was pretty interested. Had 5 rigs,

Phillip - Bronco (Trail Boss)
Jeff - 4 Runner (Tail Gunner)
Emanual - XJ
Girl and her dad - TJ (Sorry I forgot your guys names.)
Another guy and wife? - Big ass F150 (For got your names too. Thank for letting me have a spin in the beast)

Emanual got stuck in the first river crossing. The water was half way up my doors, and covered the 39 irocs on the F150. Under my better judgement and the quick driving of the young girl in the TJ I wasn't able to say not to cross. Not that it mattered she drove right across with out a problem. But Emanual had to go and hit the big rock in the middle and get stuck. So I had Jeff, back up so I could hook the strap to him. But I ended up jumping in to hook the strap back up to Jeffs 4 Runner. Water was cold, I was experiencing some major shrinkage.. Anyways... Got him out and on a second attempt he had a control arm bust off his frame. Left the rig in the parking lot. and headed on the trail. I was experiencing what I thought was just vapor lock, wasn't getting any fuel to carb through filter. Turns out my new pump didn't like my regulator. Figured it out once we got off the trail. Anyways was a good time by all.

I left Emanual in the expert hands of Jay's Wife, who called Frosty, Kurt and the others with the ready welders. To inform them we needed a little help. I had to leave for other obligations, I'm hoping you all got him out safe and sound... Thanks for the help on that for the one who helped him out.

Jon glad to see you post on this.  I for one believe the board should follow the guidelines that have been set whatever they may be.  Not to criticize the moderators one bit but my observation has been that the posts have not been deleted enough, if the rules are followed closely.   I read your post as this.  Some swearing with discretion (throwing in a @#$% or &) will be tolerated if not excessive.  Man milk, Sexual orientation innuendos should (will) be deleted by the moderator.


Something like that sounds good to me. Please understand I don't have all the answers i'm just trying to make my way through this and keep the board under some sort of control so that I don't have to go on getting 100 emails a month concerning abuse and adult content on here.

Also the way I read this telling some one they are a Fbomb idiot in those words instead of- saying something along the lines “that is really not a good thing to do and most here do not hold with that" or whatever should also be moderated.
Those are certainly two extreme oposites and there will undoubtably be much grey area in between which will have to be adressed one by one but if we could stay away from the first example and stay somewhat near the second example while still keeping some playful sarcasm with a sense of humor I think we'll be doing pretty good..

I have always been amazed at the way some people communicate over the internet.  There is a certain amount of respect that should go into communication even if you’re so pissed off at what is being said or done that all you want to do is tear some one up verbally.  When a newbie is bashed or someone does something stupid or offensive, opinions can be shared and points made (people that are wrong put in their place) with out railing against them and bashing them IMHO.  That is what the rules of the board seem to be.

I know that ALOT of the people on this board know each other and like to flip each other crap I don't know what the answer is a separate forum where most anything goes or another board altogether .  I like this board and would hate to see the bulk of the info and posts here disappear.  I respect Kurt allot for the way he shared his opinions and handles his verbage earlier this week, even though I did not agree with them.  Not that he needs my approval but he definitely gave a good example of how to debate this stuff on the net, from what I read anyway.  

There have been so many posts that do not follow the guidelines; I believe that the board is under moderated.  That’s all I have hopefully its not to disjointed and Jon thanks for everything your efforts in creating this place for all to enjoy is appreciated by myself and many more I am sure, even the ones who would like to see it differently.  If there is any way you could comment on the examples I touched on I would appreciate it.  And if you want the board to be moderated according to the posted rules I would be willing to volunteer

I take it you didn't give a class at the M&G....Well here is a suggestion for you for next year.  If I am there I will surely attend.  YOU need to give a class on photography.  About 15 of those pictures are hot.  And the others are really good Candid shots.

Here is a photo album of my trip. MOAB PICTURES

Here are the things I learned.  Check your coolent system like 10 times.  Bring extra rad fluid and stopleak of many sorts.  I popped a pin hole in my rad and fixed it with 2 part epoxy in like 10 seconds but I watched many others have much more trouble.

Make sure your steering is in TOP shape.  It is going to take a beating with all that traction.  Hydro assist is your friend.  I could not turn most of the time unless I was moving a little.

I WILL NOT run any trail in Moab with anyone that has a tire on thier roof or a loaded roof rack.  There are spots here that make the drop off of Perm look like a flat parking lot.

Weight is a big factor.  You don't need to carry all that survival bullshit like we do in AK.  Also It would be wise to just bring two or three sets of tools and not 10.  First aid kit and some warm clothes incase you spend the night.  None of the trails are very far from a road.

Leave your spare tire on the trailer unless you have a external rack.  save the room and weight.  Same with extra gas.  substitute the gas can for a water can and call it a day.

Water.  I drank 400 oz in a day.  no shit. 4 100oz camel backs.  What we did is brought a big old Gott Jug with 5 gallons or more of water in it.  half full of ice and the rest water.  It was "cool" most of the day.

Tire selection is whatever you want.  In all honesty a BFG AT would be the best tire for Moab.  My swamps are just fine.

Environment.  They are really picky about it.  I mean there are types of soil you can't walk on.  There are places that require you to shit in a bag and pack it out.  I took a dump before we left and told our trailboss I would crap in his heaterbox if I needed another one.

Our group needs to bring a little bag of drysweep or something like that.

Fire away with questions about my take and I will try to answer them as best as I can.

We started out from the fairgrounds with not a single cloud in the sky, which was to set the tone for the entire day’s weather, warm and dry.
After fueling up at the Tesoro off we headed.  When we got to Coyote lake we stopped to air down and off load the big K5.  With that done off we went…  I made it to the main road before the K5 took a dump, thankfully right there so it was just a matter of getting it back up on the trailer and he was happy to go on back to the fairgrounds from there.  I’d be happy to say that was our only problems but we were plagued by them.  Once we turned off the gravel road on to the main trail Josh found problems with his brand new front drive shaft.  By the time we’d made it to Blueberry hill we had him parked and riding with Brian, Full size trucks in 2wd don’t go so well…
The Al showed us how it was done with the mud bog, went right on thru (Only one too), gotta love those ARB’s.  I got through and winched everyone else up and out to make things a bit faster.  Down and up the other side left us at the bog going up the hill.  It must have been slippery because Jeff I believe from Fairbanks slipped off the edge of the trail to be cuddled by a nice set of trees.  No damage done but the winching took some time and we got him out fine.  
The rest of the trip up to the falls was great.  Oh did I forget Dusty and his wedging incident?  How do you do that anyhow Dusty?  A highlift freed him from the rocks and we carried on to the falls.  Taking the usual pictures was refreshing with Ashley taking an unexpected dip and Jean catching her before she found her way down stream a bit.  Pride hurt and a bit chilled everyone climbed back in and headed home.  
Dusty took the first little mud hole after the downhill from the falls with much enthusiasm.  Unfortunately he blew a bead.  With a little winching he was brought up and out and used his spare to get him going, even if it was after finding out how unstable highlifts really are.  We all made it to the mud hole below blueberry hill and some made it clean, some like me winched, and others like Dusty dig new holes with his bumper… LOL.  On the way out the Ruby from Fairbanks popped a bead but nothing to worry, just changed it out easily and we all headed on home.
We got back to the fairgrounds about 3 hours later than I’d hoped for but 1900 wasn’t too bad.  All in all a very good trip and everyone enjoyed it.  
So post up and put your pictures on.  I don’t have a whole lot to post, I was guiding people and Steph was taking care of the babies.  I know Nikki has a butt load she is going to get for us.
I certainly think this was a great trail run and was happy to guide.

Edited just for you Ashley

It is amazing how many of us take pictures but so few of us don't know WTF we are doing.  Your giving a photography class next year.

Which of my pictures are you having such a problem with? If you dont like what you see, take some yourself next time since your such an expert.

Brentt was saying that noah is a fantastic photographer and has taken classes to get where he is now and should share his knowlege, just like any type of class that is given by a knowledgeable teacher.

He was not implying that anyones pictures were bad.

Did anyone run up and weld his control arm on for him? I felt kinda bad for leaving him at camp. But Jay's Wife said she would get someone to fix him up or get him back to town.

If you have ac you should have the factory auxillary fan on the driver side of the radiator to compliment the mechanical fan.

Hooking the aux fan up to a switch is a great upgrade because it allows you to control when the fan runs.

If you have a 94 or older cherokee you can upgrade the fan, by using one from a 95 or newer cherokee.

They are the only aux fan that you can get from the dealer now, so that is one source for them, but junkyards are always a better option, in my opinion.

The 95 and newer fans will push more air, therefore cool your rig better, than the older fans.

I know there has been talk about not taking on too much at one time, so i propose we do The red.  We could get a late start and work into the cooler hours of the evening and then go camp out that night.

There is a noticeable difference where we started cutting the alders back near the top last year and I bet that wih a group of 8-10 folks with 3-4 saws we could do that whole trail in no time.

I will volunteer to lead the charge and I have 2 saws to offer.  Its a long drive for me, but I love the trails up there and want to see them prosper and be taken care of.

People could say the same about drunks.

If It's responsible use it's not that bad.

Abuse of anything is where the probs start.


PS. I don't smoke pot anymore, or drink or smoke cigs anymore either. I just see "stoner" as a stereotypical label. Jump all over someone cause they mention POT when these \':1:\'  \':1:\'  \':1:\'  \':1:\' are all over the place. No different.

I beg to differ.  One is an illicit drug, the other is not.  There is a difference.  I'm afraid I just can't accept "responsible" to be used in the same context as illegal.

This is exactly what I was thinking!!

Just got word today that our leg over to the Middle East is probably not going to happen until Jan. 06. I f that is the case then, I might postpone my trip to EJS and catch you guys in Moab, to at least run with the old crew there. But I am like everyone else I need a definite date, so I can make all the necessary plans.

Brentt if things change and I can't make it on the trip to Moab with everyone. When is your intention on hitting it again next year. If EJS isn't good, then what is a good time for you. Maybe we can link up out there, and I can get my Buddy to show us around.

Nate-

The date right now is set for the AK guys to depart AK on Labor Day weekend.  That would put them in Moab 5 days after that.

We will be spending 6 days in Moab then moving the JV out in the Mojave Desert then the Rubicon in Northern Cal.

Tahoe would most likely be our seperation point for You, Piff, Badcop (Brian is a good guy you don't know him but he is kind of a shithead like you, only a lot more sensitive, I guess it would be the Airforce version of you).

We are going to keep these dates until Kurt, figures out exactly what it is that he is doing and needs.

I am WAS planning on Moab this spring.  But now I think that I am going to wheel the Black Hills in South Dakota.  We just drove through there and that place is damn cool.

As for your buddy that would be cool.  I have been to Moab a couple times and so has Piff now.  The place is pretty easy to negotiate and the Map with the trails on it has more stuff than you could possibly cover in a week.

When we walked out to the main trail to take a look, an 80's stock blue cherokee was pulling away with 3 young guys in it. Then they parked and watched it burn. So I got their license plate, and called the state troopers. I then rode up near the rig and asked em why they started the fire, and they said "We were just driving by when it started (spontaneous combustion?). Thats what happens when you leave your car out here." I said "yeah I guess so huh...it's just a shame that losers do stuff like that". A little while later when they heard the fire truck sirens they took off toward Jim's Creek, but we ran into the troopers on the way out and they didn't think they would have any trouble finding a stock blue cherokee running around. The flats are pretty flooded right now and most of the water crossings are pretty high. I hope they have to pay to tow all the burned out rigs outta there and get their licenses revoked or something.

I went on the Red Mountain run and I'll leave it to someone else to post a trail run report but here are the pictures.  Thanks to every one that had a part in making this event happen and I'm really looking forward to next year.

The link works now.  Sorry for the large size of the site but I did not want to degrade the quality of the images. Just be patient and let it load.

+  Good sized groups for the trail runs

+  Good questions at the class I gave.

-  More protection from the elements needed (tents/shade)
-  Announce on the PA what is going on when, more often.
-  Set a designated quiet time or have a seperate area for those wishing to pull an all nighter.
-More organization, announcements for the trailruns on Sunday.

uuhhh...wouldn't the Trxus STS be the AT??  I think the Trxus M/T is more of a tame mud terrain than an agressive AT.

The reason for giving classes twice is so that everyone can see all of them (or most of them) and not have to hear "ohh man you should have been at that one, but sorry they are only giving it once."

Also i think we need to have a few more activities for Saturday evening.  The bonfire thing didnt work to well, but that was because of the heat.  Maybe an arm wrestling tournamet, or horseshoes, or mini raffle. Just something to do after dinner since its light out till, well the next day.

How about those with kids. Did you have enough entertainment for them, or should there be a little kiddie area someplace. It seems like the dirt pile kept them all occupied.

I have no real negative comments about how things were handled...the only thing I would do next year would be to post a 5 mph sign on the gate and even more important...a watch for kids sign.

Truck related activities - Stuff more then just a ramp. Do some stuff like the TTC. Acceleration, braking, drags, pulling. Stuff like that That we can actually see how our rigs compare. Show n' Shine. If possible get a place to hav all the rigs lined up, instead of scattered around the camp. Some information on the rigs also would be great.

Really need a time to have everyone kill the toons. Mid night rolls around and the Kodiak boys crank the radios. In my opinion was just wrong, there where little kids trying to sleep and what not.

I made my rounds, looked at the rigs, bought a few things, and went home, simply becuase I knew no one. As for activities, I am new to the whole off-road thing, but it sounds like there are some really good ideas here. More events for the rigs, perhaps a mudbog or something to run through on site. I was unable to stick around for the classes or events that you did have, so I really cannot say much here. I also really like the idea of lining the rigs up in a line / order of some sort. This would make it much easier for the staff to identify the rigs that were there, and it would make it much easier for everyone to check eachothers rigs out. Hopefully, by next year, I will be able to put mine right up there next to everyones with the best of them. Here is what it looks like now...



Anyway, there are my two cents. Overall, I did enjoy it. I met some really cool people, saw some "Bad Ass" rigs, and enjoyed myself overall. I think it is great that we can all get together and have a good time. Most places where I have found 4x4 clubs, there are "issues".

I personally thought, like I've said before the classes need help. More of them would be nice. People not attending the event for pleasure should be conducting them. This way they can go on longer then an hour. I made it to the first Aid, which was great cause I need to know that stuff. But the others kinda sucked(Even after I did frosty's HW for him), granted we where all part of clubs and he really had nothing to tell us anyways.

Truck related activities - Stuff more then just a ramp. Do some stuff like the TTC. Acceleration, braking, drags, pulling. Stuff like that That we can actually see how our rigs compare. Show n' Shine. If possible get a place to hav all the rigs lined up, instead of scattered around the camp. Some information on the rigs also would be great. I found myself looking at trucks and saying to myself "Thats kick ass!! what is it."

Really need a time to have everyone kill the toons. Mid night rolls around and the Kodiak boys crank the radios. In my opinion was just wrong, there where little kids trying to sleep and what not. If thats what you want drive to the farthest end of camp where noone is camping. And the whole punching each other, you military guys did shouldn't have happened either. Kinda showing the kids that it's ok to hit each other. I understand that it was like 2 AM but still..

I agree with you on the bodily injury part...hell...I was throwing the punches. When I got up in the morning I felt pretty ashamed of letting them talk me into it....stupid stuff there. How`s the ear Badcop?
Heck...next time I`m not even going to drink...ain`t worth the trouble.

No, I figured it was just the beginning of a trail.  But it looked nice(even the trailhead) so I was wondering which trail it was.

i did get plenty of alder stripping, no big deal. got hung up on a rock and smacked both front and rear d-shafts on it. it broke a c-clip in the front u-joint and pushed a bearing cap half way out, and dented the rear shaft causing it to be out of balance. thanks noah for spotting me over that spot. i also broke off a rain gutter on my top and cracked the fiberglass edge it mounted to, and broke my ant mount. despite the damage i had a great time and no regrets. the only part that sucked was i couldnt drive over 50mph the whole way back to fairbanks cause of drive line vibs. other than that it was a great trail and an awsome event, thanks to all who made it possible.

Good pics. I used the calcs I found. And if I was remember what the guy measured it at 45.5". I only scored a 475. My TTB scored almost 800, when I put it on a ramp. Was only 20 Degree though. Oh well.

Here's the formula I used to calculate RTI scores.  I appologize for not providing a "score" and a measurement instead, but there were so many vehicles,m and only 1 hour to get them all through.  Next year there will be two tape measure operators, one measuring wheelbase, one measuring ramp distance.  Then the score could be calculated on the spot.

The truck avenger is the carb that is supposed to offer better performance off road (not flooding when off camber, etc).  I have read mixed reviews of that carb (enough to convince me to go fuel injected instead), but I have no personal experience with the truck avenger.

I don't know much about the street avenger, but I would assume it is intended for street performance rather than off-road performance.

I think there might be problems with any kind of "moving" events with the trucks at the fairgrounds.  Just too many people wondering around.  Even if the fairgrounds would let us do more stuff I think it's a safety issue.  I propose some vehicle judging events with a plaque or something as a prize.  We could assemble a board of judges from each one of the clubs and have categories like: Best budget rig, Best engineered, Best fabrication, Ugliest beater, etc.  Along with the RTI ramp comp.

As for the loud music and late night...kids will be kids (figuratively of course).  We just need to set a time for quiet hour like midnight maybe so that everyone who wishes can get a good nights rest and the children can sleep well.  If you drink so much that you can't, or shouldn't run the next morning then that is your own problem.  I would have no problem at all turning away someone on my run who was still drunk or too hung over to function.

The worst thing in my mind about the whole event was the "man up" hitting that was going on on Sat. night.  I spent 45min on two seperate occasions on Saturday preaching to people about how we need to think about everything we do when we are wheeling to be safe and not have an injury to start with and then grown men are hitting each other to the point of swelling and bruising...for fun??  I personally like and consider myself friends with every one who was involved in this activity and hope that they realize how retarded it really was.  Someone could have been seriously hurt...for what?  We should all be responsible enough to keep this stuff at home and private and not let it get out into a public event where anyone could be watching.

I agree that there could have been more communication about the runs on Sunday and maybe even an explanation of each run over the loud speaker on Saturday so that people from out of town or new to wheeling could make an educated decision on where to go.

The rest of the event went GREAT! as far as I am concerned.  Many people put a lot of hard work into it and it was way better than I had expected it to go and better than last year.  We did not have any repeat problems from last year thanks to thoughtfull planning by the M+G plannign group and next year we won't have any of the problems we had this year and the M+G will be bigger and better than ever!

More activities that require participation from attendees.

Maybe a large tent with a hundred chairs or so in it, for getting out of the sun/rain. I realize thats kind of a tall order, but often times large companies will lend out that type of thing for PR. (Unocal did when I worked for them) This would also make a place where people will naturally gather and socialize.

I also thought it might be helpful for the trail runs to be defined with some minimum rig requirements, and possibly a thorough description of the way the trail rating system works.

A Huge PA might be cool too, but prolly too expensive?


I like the idea of having some areas defined. One area for the more rowdy kind of crowd, and one for family oriented folks. Just something to facilitate a good time for all, not to segregate.

PS-I have received like 5 e-mails from a kid handle named "Prospector" asking when he can post...thanks.

It amazes me how many the registration process confuses or maybe there was a problem with the boards mail.

The process normally goes like this.. The user fills out the registration information then the board automatically emails the user to verify their inputed email address and that email contains a link to activate their account..

I see his name is pending activation so i'll go ahead and activate for him then he should be good to go!

Question: Why would he email you? Is he a friend or just some guy??

Sad thing is that years ago it took a 4x4 to get out to Jim Creek, then the state fixed to road so that more people had access to the area. If they had left well enough alone it would still take a 4x4 to get out there and it would still be a nice family recreation area. Maybe if they came back and took all the gravel out and left the trail muddy and rutted it would take care of itself.

Gus

You're right on there. Another funny thing is that on the way out a guy in a brand new Honda Odyssey (AWD minivan/electric car lookin thing) flagged us down and asked if we knew how to get out to Jims creek.

I advise 6 days in Moab.  This leaves days for sight seeing, jet boat rides, horseback riding and tons more as well.  But I think 4 good days of wheeling at least out of those 6.

one day travel time from moab to Vegas and one day travel from vegas to the rubicon.  Do we want to stay in Vegas a day or two?  I am game.  I don't gamble or drink but I wouldn't mind watching one of those faggots get chomped on by a tiger.

I imagine that it is about a day or maybe 1.5 days to Oregon.  Easy to spend a week on that coast or however much time is left on everyone schedule.

I will then drive back to Idaho and stay a couple days with my family and then trudge back to ND.

How is that trail? I've never run it. I didn't realize it was part of the runs this year. I heard it was really tight and probably couldn't get the bronco through in a few places.

yea phill you could get the bronco through.  Josh followed me through last year with his dodge truck.  Yes very tight and will get tree damage, and really not that great.

I would agree seperating the sleeping area from partying area is a good idea, I got a few negative words tossed my way at 3:00am as I was one of the drunken fools who was making it hard to sleep, sorry to anyone I kept up but I got what I deserved when trying to wheel on Sunday with a bit of a hangover.

The location worked good since it was easy to find and alot of open space for people to set up but I would prefer a more scenic area with more trees for shade and maybe some water around incase it is that hot again and someone wants to go swimming or something.  I know it isn't easy to just find a good spot so that is just an idea, I am aware how much work was put into getting a spot as good as the fairgrounds this year.

A place to play that wasn't a pile of dirt might be good, too.

My older daughter was pretty bored - maybe a teen wheeling introduction of some sort?

The photography class is a good idea. Even if Noah wasn't able to do it, I am sure someone could, at least presenting some good tips from how-to books would be effective. Noah, btw, you are very good. I have a pretty decent SLR camera, I read a lot about taking pics - but I learned a lot about taking dramatic 4-wheeling photos from one quick look at your page.

More weather protection - how likely is it that sun was going to happen? Maybe we would all have broken out the blue tarps if it was raining - rain is something I know how to deal with. As a group, sun was just something we seemed unprepared for. I saw at least one guy with 2nd degree blistering. Perhaps a class on survival? It would have been funny to be thinking about hypothermia on such a hot  day, but on the other hand, I didn't bring my usual water-proof bag of cloths on Sunday. What if the weather changed? What if both Denny and I were stuck (we were at one point), and something happened to Gus's rig? Point is, the sun got me to let my gaurd down. Maybe a "refresher" on good stuff to bring would be good, and if it is sunny again, point out the things that sun make dangerous. Heat stroke, sunburn (ouch), wear a damn hat, etc. Make it part of first aid class? Prevention is the best medicine?

Ok, maybe not that silly, but you get the drift.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet everyone that I could. I am terrible with names and faces - really bad - if you see me again, say hi anyway - I will figure it out eventually. \':24:\'

Thanks to all who put on the even. You did a good job.

Oh - food - maybe an online sign-up. I didn't know what would go well, ended up bringing bags of cookies. I could do better. Breakfast as a social event? You would need more volunteers, but there were lots of people there. Anything to get us talking together, making connections.

I would agree seperating the sleeping area from partying area is a good idea, I got a few negative words tossed my way at 3:00am as I was one of the drunken fools who was making it hard to sleep, sorry to anyone I kept up but I got what I deserved when trying to wheel on Sunday with a bit of a hangover.

Gary is right - we did get a little roudy, a little loud, and as Charlie and I found out the next day, a lot stupid.  I have to apologize also to anyone who I offended or upset.  Now, on the other hand its not very often that alot of us get to see eachother in a laid back atmosphere where we can cut loose a little and be just plain stupid.  The designated stupid zone should have been moved a little more away from the "sleeping" area.  

As far as the rest of the M&G went, I thought it was awsome, just awsome.  I am really glad I was able to atleast attend one before moving this summer.  You Kodiak boys know how to have a good time, thanks for coming up.  Arctic - Im glad I was able to take alot of you out with us it was great to be able to meet you all and to be able to put board names with faces and rigs.  Thank both of you for coming.  Slowdotna - yah well if you had left frosty behind...... j/k guys thank you for coming also....

I am so glad noone else wanted to come take the booth over or I would have been alot more burnt than I was.

Ive heard everyone say "show and shine".  I agree, that would have been cool.  Say a Super Modified class, Street Legal Class, Most Original Class.  Give out a couple of the raffle prizes for the top 2 of each, or even a certificate, just something to recognize them.

Name tags, I could agree and disagree at the same time.  I think I was able to meet almost everyone (those that I didnt, sorry) just by saying hi, Im so and so, thats my truck, Im Badcop.  People can relate to you if your shy, they are too.

Again thanks really goes out to Dan, Gary, Kurt, Steph and the rest of the M&G Committee for making this a very memorable experience, Im going to miss how well this community has grown and will continue to grow.  No matter where I seem to be going every club or clubs I talk to is no where near as organized as the AKE, Arctic, AK, or Emerald Isle Clubs are getting.

One word.  Satisfaction.

Two downfalls to CO2.  The regulators will freeze up after a long bit of use (mine starts to get frosty on the 4'th tire).  And when your out your out.  This is prevented by weighing your cylinder on the bathroom scale when you get it filled.  Then weigh it prior to every trip.  If you have a 20 lb tank and your tank is now 19lbs lighter than when you got it filled.....well your on borrowed time, go get it filled.

Don't use CO2 inside an totally enclosed vehicle IMO.  I know that my ZJ was sealed up tight when it was full bodied and if for some reason that CO2 sprung a leak when the windows were all rolled up.  You could possibly drown.  That would suck.

but for a pickup/soft top or summer wheeling with the windows down your good to go.

Any negative comments I may have, have already been addressed.

One thing I can suggest is a vehicle inspection before the morning of the run. Maybe have someone at the check-in point to quickly glance over the rig and give suggestions on what trails they should maybe stay away from.  Or to check for tow points or other obivious things that need correcting.  With the vendors we had there I'm sure the lack of tow points or other minor things could be fixed in time to line up for the run.  Then the trail boss wouldn't need to look quite as close and we could hit the trail sooner.

One thing I missed from other such events I have attended in the  past.  Getting together and talking about the runs before heading home.  I know with people coming from all over and needing to hit the road this would be hard to arrange.

I also enjoyed wheeling with all the people on the Ruby Lake run. I also know my daughter enjoyed it (she's planning on getting on the board soon) and is already talking about next year.

I'm glad for the feedback. A couple of notes or thoughts.

1. Competetion. In most any form except a show and shine or a mud bog will lead to a few things. Hot heads. Egos. Broken rigs. Increased cost. We're talking a very very high entrance fee to attend the event to cover insurance. If we can even obtain it. Even a mud bog will raise the cost sustantially.  Not to say we aren't working on it, just that at this point it's a bit unrealistic.

2. Shade. I agree. We weren't planning on blistering sun. Efforts have allready been discussed for next year. However, you cannot protect people from themselves. 2nd degree sunburns? No one was requiring folks to not put sunscreen or a hat or a umbrella on. It was a open gate all weekend. Not to sound harsh, but come on, take care of yourself.

3. Name tags. Great idea. Very good.

4. Non-wheeling activities. Once again very good idea.

5. Kids area. Great idea. We tried it the year prior. Problem was it turned into a kid dumping ground. Folks would just leave thier children and they were on their own. No supervision from the parents. We'll work on it.

6.Flyers. Over 400 flyers were printed and most were distributed. Parts stores here in town and Eagle River were not receptive to them on the counters. As for the valley, I'm not sure how many made it up there.

7.Classes.  We'll work on them. It's hard to provide something that will keep both experienced wheelers intrested and new comers as well.

8.Quiet time. There will be a quiet time next year. The idea of the M&G is to keep everyone together and getting to know each other. It became apparent real fast Sat. night that there were folks there that others did not want to be anywhere around. This is the "hot topic" right now, and it will be solved next year. On a personal note, I don't want to see a stigma atatched to the M&G like the Talkeetna Bluegrass Festival. Or like Seward on July4th had.

9.Trail runs. We'll work on better descriptions.

Keep the ideas coming. I understand they are just suggestions and please don't think I'm putting anyones ideas down. It's just a little different view from where I'm currently standing. Dan

While I'm on my soap box...Another thing that really chaps my ass, is to be standing at the counter trying to get the person behind the counter to understand that I know the dana 60 under my ( place the name of your rig here) wasn't there when the rig was new and they won't find it in their computer under Suzuki...When someone calls and they spend the next 45 minutes helping them while I stand there wondering what the hell I'm doing here...

That's why I try to find the part# and call them (get's me in front of the poor smuck standing in line) and have them pull it so it's out when I get there... \':16:\'

Was so nice, for years I had a set of old NAPA books...Just look it up, give a call, pick it up...Worked great...Books ended up missing after one of my moves...Would love to get another set... \':34:\'

O.K. off my soap box...

As for the dana 60 axle thing.. you need to just say 1976 Ford F250 rear wheel bearings or whatever. Don't even mention you stuffed them under a 87 Suzuki. That makes it alot easier for you and them.

Many times the person calling in on the phone while the lines grow is a customer who owns a shop that spends 1000's of $$$'s there a year.  I'd just as soon put them on hold same as everybody else, but the bosses get pissy when they hear from Joe Mechanic at the shop down the street that does all their business with us that you put them on hold.  

You obviously have internet, so go here, and get the part numbers: http://www.napaonline.com

Problem is even if it was the old trail, there are so many ATV's anymore that it would still be a big problem... \':38:\'


It wouldn't stop people from going out there..... but you would be less likely to find burned out wrecks and there wouldn't be car loads of kids going out there if they had to work to get there. They would just find somewhere else to go.

+Food, it seems the potluck went over very well.
+The raffle, had lots of good stuff from a variety of people next year.  I hope it continues to grow.
+The fact that everyone was fairly self policing and we did not have a lot issues to deal with.

-The bonfire being too close to those camping, or a lack of a quite time.  Will have to look at options to remedy for next year.
-Need more direction.  Signs to the event and a map of the site showing where to camp, find demos, park if just there for the day, etc. I think would be helpful.
-Lacking a desiginated first aid station so people could easily identify or find the trained personel that where present.

Some things that I thought were good additions but need improvement:
*PA system.  It helped a lot for alerting people when events were coming up, and for soft spoken people like myself to address the crowd.  But I did notice it was difficult to hear in locations like the far seminars or by the ramp, basically did nothing to notify people in those locations what was going on.  Maybe a louder PA, or just a couple speakers we can turn in a few different directions.
*The ramp. Having a desiginated time slot for running the ramp rather than an on-going event like last year, allowed for more control and minimized vehicle traffic during classes.  We needed to make it more clear how to get there actual scores.  I AO learned a lot this year and I am sure it will be improved next year (I think you guys already volunteered to do it again  \':43:\' )

The classes is the big thing.  I'd really like the idea of some of the stuff loosely tied with wheeling to help entertain a broader audience of four wheelers, like photography, on trail cooking, scrap booking for the ladies, etc.  Saturday afternoon really filled up quick though.  We may have to have more classes than time slots so people will have to choose what they want to see, and won't be able to see it all.  That or we need to start soon, like have some Saturday morning sessions.  Maybe splitting some of the activities before and after lunch will help break things up a little anyway, could be a good thing.

Its crazy we are already thinking so much about next year.

It's the Economy Stupid!!

Or is it education?

Or the war?



Of the many hot topics this election year, the economy will naturally rank among the top.  It’s often said that voters will vote their wallets.  Well if that's true, there's no better choice than George W. Bush.  But Hey, that's just one mans opinion.

With the Economy set for its best growth in 20 years, John Kerry will have a tough sell in using it as a legitimate issue.  

But don't be surprised by continual down talk of the economy, or of jobs.  It’s a favorite tactic of the democratic party.

If they're not scaring seniors about prescription drugs, or minorities over affirmative action, they're trying to convince the rest of us that our economy is doomed and we're all going to lose our jobs

John Kerry even had to re-invent the misery index because the old one made George Bush out to be better than most presidents.  

(The old misery index adds together the unemployment rate and the rate of inflation which is currently better than it's been in most years since World War II)

So why then, if things are generally improving, do John Kerry and the Democratic party continue to say that things are horrible?

Because many Americans don't have a clue on how things work.  All they know is what they are told.

The Democratic party knows that a large portion of their BASE doesn’t know what the GDP is or stands for, what our inflation rate is, or how much extra in taxes their companies pay on their behalf. They obviously don't know that the same people they want to tax to death are the same people creating the jobs they want.

Maybe there's something to this.

We live in an age where our schools are some of the most liberal places in the country.  College, high school or other wise, they're filled with liberal professors and administrators, preaching the democratic line. This I speak from experience  

Most are affiliated with one of the largest unions in the country: The NEA.  And like most unions, if you don't want to be a member, you still have to pay your dues.  

Is it no wonder that our children are following right behind?  It's not that they haven't been taught, they have.  They can paint, sing and play football with the best of them.  

They can express how they feel about war and know that they don't like it. But, ask for a solution to deal with those who would oppose all of us and you'll get a typical Liberal response. "It's a war for oil.” or "We should have gone to our allies for support."  

Never mind that our allies were the same ones in bed with Iraq and Saddam in the oil for food program.

While there are some "intelligent" liberals out there capable of regurgitating some occasional factoid, they still lack the basic skills necessary to analyze that information and develop a viable solution.

Unfortunately, their solutions always seem to involve dipping into someone else’s wallet (yours and mine) to provide them the entitlements they believe to be their birthright!

Join the debate.

Not that I am that excited about rock crawling, but I think one of the bigger events would be cool to watch.  And I want to see stuff like this.

Here is a draft of what I got:

Day 1-5  Travel Anchorage to Moab
Day 6-11 Moab, doing stuff as Brentt described
Day 12-13 (short) Travel to Farmington.  Take in a rock crawling competion, should be finals this time of year.
Day 14 Travel to Vegas to catch up with Piff
(I can go either way on spending extra time in Vegas.  I like drinking and gambling and strippers, but that also something I can do at another time, doesn't have to be part of this trip)
Day 15 Travel Vegas to Rubicon (Robb's resort)
Day 16 Wheel into Rubicon (base camp at Spyder lake?)
Day 17 Drink at base camp...err I mean do stuff.
Day 18 Wheel out rest of the trail
***throw a spur to Johnson Valley here, or elsewhere in S. California?)***
Day 19 Travel to Oregon
Day 20-21 Hit trails in the Northwest somewhere, need to points of contact here
Day 22-25 Travel from somewhere in WA to Anchorage

If we take four consectutive weeks of vacation, you can count 30 days off total including the adjacent weekends.

I would assume one day final prep before rolling out of town (could have stuff packed and sitting on the trailer well before), and two days to tear down/remember where you live before returning to work.

That leaves only two buffer days for tow rig failure, serious breakage, extra time site seeing, etc.  The month filled up fast.  But it does allow for a lot of time on the Alcan and Moab, so its probably conservative with the travel time we could make.

Wow, its kind of scary to start mapping it out.  But I am totally committed to being a part of this, its going to be awesome.  A trip of a life time for those in the 49th state.

The other question, what month?  On the first page of this thread we discussed why October.  But should it be revisted?  Dan makes a good point that those with kids will have to pull them out of a school for a long haul.  Just thoughts.  

I like October, though Oktoberfest sounds like an excellent plan B.  Maybe that's a 2006 trip Al?  Its on my list of things to do soemtime in my life.

RockCrawling Schedule

I would suspect it to be similar next year.

I understand the Kids and school thing.  Really I do.  But I have a different outlook that might be worth consideration on this venue.  Experiential Education is worth it's weight in GOLD.  I would rather have my kids spend 30 days traveling the county experiencing the plethora of things that this trip will offer than have them sitting inside a classroom.

We will for sure have workbooks and packets for our two kids for the long drives between stops.  Believe it or not I am smart enough to teach my kids how to read and do Math for a month.  The wife is smarter than I am.  The Publice School teachers will work with you as well.  You just need to communicate your intentions and get a workbook designed to keep your child on coarse with the rest of the class.  This is a once in a lifetime experience for everyone including my kids.  I to this day remember the 3 week vacation we took in the Bavarian Alps when I was in the 4th grade.  It has been a driving factor in my life's philosophy toward such things.  I want my kids to have that same outlook.

Northwest Trails.  No problem getting a trail guide.  I have a few college buddies that wheel and live in the Seattle Area.

Vegas- I don't really need to stay there and unless some WANTS to stay there a day or two I would just as soon roll onto California.

Rockcrawling Event-  To tell the truth I think we can get one in without having to go to Farmington NM.

Cedar City UT, Northern Cal, Washington all will have events that month.  This is Super hard to decide since the schedule is not out.  Actually if there is one in Central Washington that would kick ass and would be a great way to end the trip.  You guys are not going to want to take the Cassier up that time of year and will need to go up through Wash/Idaho anyway.

SPur to JV-  Man I just don't think that is going to happen.  Not unless you want to add another week to the vacation time OR if we do it would be wise to put it BEFORE the rubicon.  Vegas is like 2-3 hours from JV (right Piff?) and there are RC events in So Cal all the time.  We might be able to actually do that for a event instead of Farmington.....Again have to wait until next years schedule is released.

So I propose this.

1-5     Anchorage to Moab
6-11    Moab
12       Move to Vegas
13       Move to Johnson Valley or So Cal Rockcrawling Event
14       Wheel a trail in JV
15       Move to Tahoe (Robb's Resort)
16       Wheel into Spyder Lake
17       Mess around at Spyder
18       Wheel Out to Tahoe
19       Prepare for movement to Oregon
20       Move to Oregon

From Here on out we need some input.  We can move to Eastern Washington on day 21 and wheel Eastern Washington on day 22 and 23.  OR we can stay in Oregon and wheel the Tillamook days 21 and 22 and move to CENTRAL or WESTERN Washington on Day 23.  Either is fine with me and I can get people to show us the trails in either location.

You guys need to decide how you are going to move back to Anchorage.  Cheaper to drive but you might hit snow.  Ferry is spendy but you get a "cruise" out of it as well and it is easy.  This also will help determine the last little bit of our schedule.  If you guys drive.  We should move to Central/Western Washington.  If you Ferry.  We should stay in Eastern Washington.

I provided 7 travel days for the return trip incase you ferry out or want/need to slow down on the drive back.  Remember you will not be doing over 60 on the Alcan.  Maybe 65-70 at times but surely not for most of it.  I know I just drove the sucker.  In the lower 48 we will be going as fast as 70 for a few hundred mile (interstate I get the best MPG at 68 so that is about my speed most of the time).

As people had said, a lot of people don't get to spend time hanging out in a relaxed atmoshpere together. Having a couple of beers, even getting hammered, are not a problem to anyone but the drinker (usually). Self control is another issue. We should all be mature enough to know that people and kids are trying to rest and that the trail run the following day is more important that having a bunch to drink. Just stating the fact that it is a family event should be a friendly reminder and enough to keep people in line. Music was a factor as well. I asked someone to turn it down and they played dumb. "I don't know how to turn the subwoofers off". Umm, bullshit. As a staff member, I should have only had to ask once to turn it down. (I know it, and so does he) I am a nice guy and felt I was taken advantage of because of it. Oh well, we'll resolve it for next year.
99% of the event went well. Some fine tuning is needed and maybe some expansion in certain areas.
Next year is sure to be better yet!

I think if your going to do it right you should have a segrigated beer garden away from the camp site where people can kick back. It might help solve drinking throughout the camp grounds.

When we go to visit him we take as little as possible down there, mainly because everything has to be washed 2 or 3 times before the smell is gone when we get back.
I won't take my littlest one down there unless he agrees that he'll go outside to smoke.
I lived through it, she won't, neither her mother nor I smoke.
I wish he'd quite but he won't so I give up asking and trying to get him to.
Smokers get wrapped up in things and don't want to let it go, their choice I suppose.
That commercial where their Grand Dad is kneeling down to grab the little baby as she walks to him struck it with me though...  The baby walks right on through the man, he's died a long time before and wasn't able to be a part of the child’s life.  
Of course it won't always work out that way but in these days of looking at things through different eyes I want to be there for my kids and those that come after.  For me that is more important...
I wish it were for him.

Jerry keep it up man, we hardly know you but know it'd be good for you to control it, instead of the other way around.  I can walk away and not smell it any more but the guys here mention it because they know you can't...  Don't think I'm bugging ya though, you're a good guy and all, nothing against ya at all.

That looks just exactly like the Costco one, only that one costs 6 times as much.  I'll never understand the incredibly high prices for just a box to hold tools. Status symbol I guess..   My dad has the one from Costco, the big stainless one, and it is a fine quality piece.

I'm sure the Costco tool box is decent unit...but no..it is not the same as the Snap-On.  A Fiero with a Lamborghini body kit looks almost the same as the real thing at a passing glance...but they aren't even close in the details.  If you consider that in that bottom tool box it would be easy to have $25k or more worth of tools in it then the price tag to keep them secure doesn't seem so bad.

I like being able to go into a store and buying what I need, not having to order it and wait. I have no patience! I find up here the majority of everything I need I have to order, and pay out the a$$ for shipping. I was spoiled in the lower 48, Northern California specific, I rarely ever had a time where I couldn't locate a part I needed. Of course being in the same area for 15 years you tend to know people and the places to go to get what you need.
Even the common little parts are a pain to find. I spent 4 hours trying to find 1/4" wheel spacers. Common thing you can find at Kragens and Autozone....not here.

I know you said you're impatient when it comes to shipping, but USPS is a lot cheaper than FedEx/UPS.  You have to wait a little longer, but I've found it's about half the price.  Besides, there really isn't any venders up here that caters to cruisers.  Even going through the dealer (Nye), almost everything I've bought from them has to be shipped up.  So, I just buy through a dealer in CA who has a TLCA discount.  Even with shipping, it's way cheaper.

Example:  OEM water pump was $68. \':34:\'

You assume the police know the laws. What basis do you have for that assumption?

You may not like it, but samwe hit it right on the head.  Just because a cop gives you a ticket doesn't necessarily make it the law.  Little or nothing about law is black and white; law is all shades of gray.  As much respect as I have for our law enforcement officers who have a very difficult job to do, we charge them with enforcing laws they don't necessarily understand.

Um...Frosty don't you think it's just a wee bit wrong to say that Five Star " Is the place to go for your 4x4 needs, as well as your offroad stuff as well" seeing as this IS Northern 4x4 Suppliers forum and THEY are in the business of selling and installing 4x4 parts( or "offroad stuff")

Just seems a little wrong to me to be promoting someone elses business on someone elses website... Then agian maybe it's just me....

It would be if this was Northern Board.  It is ToyDozers board and Badco is a registered vendor on this board.  Northern (to my knowledge via the vendor thread) is not.

Northern is an option and one worth exploring.  But Badco has and is stepping up to provide a new alternative to the monopoly that Northern had on the 4x4 parts world here in town.

In no way does Badco do as much 4x4 specific work as Ed.  He still depends on normal auto work for most of his income.

But diversification and competition is good for both Kodiak Offroad AND believe it or not Northern 4x4.  This is a big town and a big community more than enough business for another 4x4shop.  Heck ZOE was gonna shut us all down....but then got shut down....lol

Just thought I might be able to add a couple of things, perhaps good or not, don't know...
Steph thought she would bring our VW up with us so she might be able to take the little one home if she got to be too much, thankfully she didn't.  But the car did give her a lot of unexpected mobility...  She hooked up with some of the other ladies and took off Saturday to Wasilla for some yard sale chasing and when they came back Brian found he'd suddenly acquired some new end tables... LOL But alas it was still hot and they all loaded up and headed for the lakes down the road for a swim...  
Now I can't attest for Steph's desire to organize things next year, nor can I even say I'll be here, but I think she'd be up for organizing something along those lines again.  Perhaps transportation might become an issue but I bet enough of us drove 2nd vehicles to be able to do it.  I know my little ones love the water on Saturday, who wouldn't?
Being associated with the camp cooking thing I would be more than willing to help out with any Dutch Oven cooking.  Steph is also the tops on this one, her family lives to do tower Dutch Oven cooking when they go camping at Island Park in ID.
As far as runs go I really enjoyed Eska, thanks also go to Chilly (Chris) and BadCop (Brian) for their help; they took care of most of the breakage we had.  With only a two-day period it is extremely hard to organize that many trail runs!  It was done great though, I didn't hear of any real problems...  Maybe we could do some on Saturday?  Nothing outrageous though, more along the lines of taking some of the newer people to the easier spots.  Maybe just to show them some real basics of trail etiquette and running...?  I suggest nothing long though, just a couple of hours.  It'd open things up for more demonstrations...

Just some thoughts...

98taco- Watching Dusty and Fred drop Dusty's Ram off of two Hi-Lift jacks and seeing it land on its brakes on the trail was kind of, um, entertaining.  At least no one got hurt.

We planned that. I must have left you out of the loop. My bad. j/k
It was great wheeling with you and Josh. I hope we get the chance to do it again. Maybe on our turf here in Kodiak next time. Here are some pics of Freds Jeep. He should have brought it. It would have been a show stopper with the lack of big blocks and very few v8's for that matter.

I was thinking about this board after the M&G. There is more to it than Northern 4x4. We have several vendors on here that are more than willing to help people out. I have absolutely nothing against Northern, heck I shop there sometimes myself if I don't have it in stock. Good people, good products, excellent knowlege. What I do as a technician is different in some respects than what Northern offers. Dan and myself are both ASE certified. We are also both I/M certified in test and repair. We are a full service shop. Electrical, engine performance and repair, clutch and transmission work, drivetrain, chassis, even trim work. Bad coil to custom coil-over, we have done it. Dan and I have about 25 years experience in this field between the two of us.

Now, as far as this web board goes. This is far from a forum to sell products. Tech, chit-chat, trail runs and land use are all an important part of what this board offers to the local OHV community. Perhaps it is time to change the name to better suit what happens here. Any ideas?

A couple years ago Ed and Curtis and a few other notable wheelers made a concerted effort to take an active part in the club. New wheelers transferred up from the Lower 48, and AKE actively pursued them. Their numbers swelled, and they've had the numbers to take on worthy causes such as the Meet and Greet and the odd trail issue.

In the meantime, LF4W found a general number of members they were comfortable with and tried to maintain it. It was really based more on how many people they wanted on the trail at one time. There were also the personality and logistic issues that come with large memberships.

In reality, there really isn't much of a difference between the two clubs. A bunch of people get together and go wheeling. We more or less do the same trails, although maybe with different frequency. Maybe a slightly different personality mix, but I like to think of it as a fair distribution of the type-A personalities.

Do a run with both clubs before you decide. Don't base it on a website or a webboard. Base it on how you interact with the group as a whole.

Also I might stay in Oregon for awhile.  I have family in Bend that I have not seen in YEARS.  Infact there is good wheeling in Bend I think...Not Cascade Forest but more of central washington type terrain.

Questions.  after doing your calculations for average speed per leg, where did you get those numbers?  Each leg is different and while I think they are fine I was just wondering.  If you could add a Average speed per day that would be cool and would help guys like me out that think in hours and speed/hour.

That trip to tillamook is going to have to be two days.  712 miles with a trailer and 3/4 of the way through this fairly energy intensive trip is not gonna happen safely.  Unless we get a REAL good days rest on that prep day.  Badco where in Oregon are you needing to stop?  We need to know so that we can possibly drop that Prep day or use a contingency day to make sure you are where you want/need to be.


Time Saving Tip of the Day-

Also Fuel stops.  I have these down to a science but I know that I have pulled the chuggy with the family a few more miles than everyone else planning on this trip.  Here is my experience.  Assign a task to everyone.  Alice is assigned to get the kids into the bathroom and out while I fill up the pickup.  When she gets back to the truck I have either moved the truck or she moves it while I go into the bathroom.  She and Marvin let the dogs out and then load them back up.  When I get to the pickup we do 1 minute of pushups and 1 minute of jumping jacks.  Load back up and go.  We can do this all under 20 minutes and usually about 15.  Think about things like this since time spent without the wheels turning on the highway leads to a bigger problem than putting a hussle on your fuel ups.

If you have a tip, post it up.  Might be something that makes someones life a WHOLE lot easier.

I think that Bob said it best and I agree with what he said totally.  Wheel with who you like.  If you don't like how a club operates, move on.  There is actually a fairly large 4x4 community in AK and there is room for more than one school of thought (even if the other ones different from mine are wrong)

I was wondering where all the fullsizes were at the M&G.
I've been on runs here in Kodiak with 4-5 rigs which is easy to control and less down time winching and fixing. Plus it seems like we have a better time in a small group cause we have a better chance to experience the trip. Then I've been on runs here with nearly 15-17 rigs and it gets kind of tough keeping track of everyone.

Do you generally like people to tell you what you like and don't like?

I ask that because your question is like you're grasping as someone to tell you which club to join.  In reality we can tell you all of our opinions but there is no way they'll match your desires.

There isn't a thing wrong with either club, there just happens to be two in Anchorage.  Kind of like there are more than one gas station.
The gas might have a few more additives or the station might be fancier but the gas you get at either still runs in your motor.  You have to try it out and see which one "You" like.
Give them both a chance and make a decision with that experience.

Just my $0.02 worth...

I agree with Kurt about the Northern 4x4 Logo.  Ed and the bunch at Northern are all good guys, but if they aren't sponsoring this website, or even using it, why have it?

Why isn't it Kodiak Off Road?  Trail Toyz? Bad Ass Creations? AK Fab Shop? etc.
For a week or so, there was a Trail Toyz one, and then it went bad to Northern... what's up with that?

I think you need to pay a little closer attention before you come questioning me and the name of the board. The vendors forum is currently sporting the Trailtoyz.com logo because he is the sponsoring vender, just like Akfabshop was before that. They get their logo posted in the VENDORS FORUM for a minimum of 1 month or until a new sponsor steps up and claims the spot. Their logo only goes in that one forum. Got it??

For the forum name... how about Alaska Off Roading... something like that?

By all means, thats a great idea now go out and do it yourself.

WTF dude?

Of all the comments made you take offense to mine?

Fine.  I'm done with this shit.

Sorry man, I really didn't mean to single you out nor did I take any offense to what was said.

Your post was to only one concerning the title of the board that I dont feel I covered in the first post so I thought I would clarify and set the record straight with a little follow up.

Nothing but love here,   \':36:\'  \':36:\'
If you preferr I can modify the post so as not to single you out. Though I do want to keep it there because so many people were viewing the other thread I don't want everybody assuming what you said was true and therefor undermining the value of my word and thinking I jump around renaming the board whenever I want..

Newbies Newbies Newbies may I have your attention please!

The place to go for all of your automotive and 4x4 needs is:
Five Star Automotive Repair and Kodiak Off Road Equipment located on Lake Otis Parkway just North of 68th, in the same complex as Walrus Auto Detailing.  Phone number is (907) 349-2629.  Kurt= Owner   Dan= Tech.  Good guys, Friendly service, Great work, Fair prices.  There is NO reason to go anywhere else!!

...Except to www.Trailtoyz.com. We have awesome prices too, and although not an offroad shop, we have the resources to get you the best prices on a very wide range of offroad products. 5-Star/Kodiak Offroad is a great shop and does great work but for a moderator to pin a thread at the top of the general discussion forum saying that they are the ONLY "place to go for all automotive and 4x4 needs", and that "there is NO reason to go ANYWHERE else" is clearly personal preference and makes the rest of the vendors on this board look incompetent. Moderators need to either remain neutral on this stuff or just plain quit pimpin their buddies' business. Ok theres my 2 cents. Let the blasting begin.

- If the vechicle that you intend to do an engine swap on  was offered in a later year with the said engine, you are good right?  Like CJ's never had the 4.0 option, however YJ's and now TJ's have that option.

o Can I take the 4.0 out of a ZJ or XJ and swap it? Or use like the engine out of it with a YJ wiring harness and computer?

o If not and you need a YJ engine for example. How do you know that the engine in fact came from a YJ?

I am asking cause there are a lot more XJ's and ZJ's with 4.0's in the junkyards, not to mention that they might just be in a little better condition too. I am sure that the answer is simple, but I was thinking, for example about reman engines.. If I return my core from a '95 YJ could someone else get that same engine from the company for their '95 YJ?

Also what is the deal with swapping in a TJ 4.0. I have heard something about the OBDII is more complicated, and getting it past emissions is a nightmare? I thought that is what Chainman did?? I could be mistaken though.(yes I know his was a YJ compared to me asking in terms on a CJ) Thanks in advance..

Yeah I did OBDII... It kicks ass. You can get a scanner at Shuck's and like places for $200 and well under.
 The scanner uses plain english. Any "goober" can diagnos a problem. OBDI (pre 98?) needs a very expensive scanner. Then you are code chaseing.
 It's all gonna boil down to the donor rig. Must be YJ or TJ.
Ak IM laws are a little retarded.

 I would not be shy of an OBDII swap. The only down side to it...
 You would probably have to change your gauges to the TJ.
I searched and searched... the MOST succsesful swaps used the donor rig's gauges.
 The electronics are married at many levels. Miss one thing... She no go... No worky.
 I have about 1500 miles on my swap. Fuel injection is as nice as hard doors... in the winter.
 OBDII was just one way of getting MPI.
 I don't think is was harder. I got a 2000 motor and electrical system... ALL OF IT, TURN SIGNALS TO TAIL LIGHTS.
 Search the tech section and read my swap thread.
 Search the CJ forum... The first dash pic is a CJ I found there.
 If you wanna look at mine PM me.
 The dash is a work in progress... Flat dash... Brushed aluminum.
 Good luck.

When I usedmapquestit gave a distance and driving time.  I don't know how accurate it is, but that's all I put into the spead sheet.  I emailed you an updated copy.  The average speed seems to range anywhere from 40-60 mph.

Another cool benifit to an OBDII 4.0 is the intake manifold.
Air and fuel flow on a curve... Not a 90 degree angle. Iv'e read it's bout 15 hs more.
 Some folks doing stroker kits want that manifold for its higher volume ability.

 Your question about ZJ/XJ to YJ/TJ differences...
 The blocks the same if you order one new/rebuilt. The engine accesories are different. Alternator is on the bottom of the ZJ,XJ. Computers are mounted differently, little stuff. The IM ref would know.

  When I got my TJ 4.0, I got a receipt from Hilltop that showed the donor rig vin # and that it was a Wrangler.
 My paper trail is good. Without it?
 I was all set to rebuild my old block... Until I got a lead on the TJ motor.
 Trouble with an OBDII swap is you NEED MORE THAN THE MOTOR.
  In the long run... It freakin rocks.
  I can smoke 33's on dry pavement(354 gears).
  I was broke at Boulder and ran the rock garden... to the Moose camp... at idle... Never had to touch the gas pedal. MPI and the computer would not let it die \':16:\'
 
 Another benifit to the newer 4.0's(99+)... Distributerless ignition. A sealed computer instead... 3 coils... Not one. A "rail" is mounted on the spark plugs and there are 3 separate coils in the rail. Oh yeah... tune ups every 100,000 miles. I'm not that for from points and plugs... I'm lovin it.

I had a scary experience with it today and would like to pass it on to others to do some basic safety checks of your equipment every time you go to use it.

First off, I am the only one that uses the stuff, so (and I should know better) every day I just crank open the valves and go to work.  Big mistake.  Every once and a while I check to see how full the tanks are and glance at my working pressure just to see if maybe I bumped the knob by accident or something.

Last week I had someone swap out the acetylene bottle for a new one, and didnt think anything of it because I had heard of his prior welding experience.

Today I fired up the cutting outfit and proceeded to use it for a few minutes and then shut it down and went on with my work.  About 15 minutes later I saw a flame out of the corner of my eye, and much to my surprise the Acetylene bottle was on fire, where the regulator screws in.  I quickly shut the valve off and got out the fire extinguisher.

Ive had torches catch fire before because of loose fitting or what have you, and I have even seen a regulator catch fire once, but never the fitting at the bottle.

I called the local Air Liquide where we get our bottles from to ask about flash suppressors and he told me that all of the new torches have them. You can verify this by looking on the torch body (of victors anyway) and find a number followed by the letters  FC.  I will be installing one way check valves as an added safety feature.

Well if my torch has them, why am I getting a fire way back at the bottle???  He didnt know. I suspect maybe sparks from grinding may have started it, but I hadnt been grinding for a while either.  He also asked what working pressure I was running and I told him 5-10 psi and said that shouldnt cause any problems.

So  I checked the regulator.  The working pressure was way up, near 15-20 (in the red) and the fitting at the tank was leaking slightly.

Moral of the story is always, always, always, check your stuff before you begin working, especially if someone else has used it or had their hands on it.

Keep a spray bottle of a soapy water with the torch set and check all the fittings for leaks daily.

Hope this keeps someone else from getting into a bad situation.

Good post to start a fight  \':34:\' LOL. But, I will put in my $0.02... Since I have been in Alaska Extreme for about a year. And I have also been to well... Only one meeting for LF4W's. I have gone on 2-3 runs with LF4W's though. I would have to say I like the style of Last Frontier Four Wheelers. Like many have said, they are more laid back. And they are smaller. AKE is to big IMO. To many people. That is the main reason we gave up on it. I did like AKE when Ed, Curtis, Ken ext.... Was going to the meetings. And it was just like 6-7 people at the meetings. But when Ake became a empire it just ruined the fun for us. That is why we have gotten together with Last Frotier.

Like I said, this post is not intended to start a fight. Just my opinion.

Franky,
I find it funny that you claim that you do not want to start a fight, but then say that AKX is an "empire"?  You make it sound like you guys were pushed out like victims of urban sprawl.  30 something members is nothing. Now 150+ members is getting to be too much.

Its the idea that if you dont wheel a Jeep your not worth shit!  To be honest I had a good friend that doesn't wheel a jeep who attended a meeting. Since we shared the same views on what we looked for in a club we basically decided to just wheel together and not pursue a club at that time.

Now that he has PCS'd I look for the comraderie of a club.

He Frank whatever happened to the talk about forming a 4x4 club out here in the valley??

Later on, big Broncos and other fullsize rigs started showing up and now I think we have a fairly good mix.

Larger rigs usually take a little more body damage on the trails. Trees and rocks tend to do that. The turning radius and approach/departure/breakover angles are a disadvantage, although larger tires help with the latter issue. However, in open country and on ledges they are more stable and usually have the advantage. Larger rigs also have move overhanging body to dent up. Smaller rigs are less stable. Ad infinitum, ad nauseum...

There's only two types of rigs I don't like to wheel with:
- Poorly maintained rigs.
- Rigs whose owners constantly whine about scrapes and dents.

Otherwise, it doesn't matter what you drive. The driver is the key ingredient. How many mega-built TJs are up here with drivers who can't back out of a driveway? I'd rather wheel with a guy in a stock Series II Land Rover who knows his vehicle (Plus, old Rovers are cool). The reason Jeeps are popular to build is that they're easy to build. The aftermarket support is there and the basic platform is sound for a wide variety of wheeling. Doesn't mean they're they only game in town, though.

We went on up to where the white truck at the mud pit is and then came on down...I decided that we needed to remove the Isuzu and one of the teenagers decided that he would like to have it, so we pulled it out(the last owners were nice enough to leave the key's but no battery) tried to jump start it and also start it by towing but came to the conclusion that it  it was out of fuel...Went ahead and towed it out with the guy that claimed it driving...Got it to the top of the last hill and I decided I didn't want him behind me on a strap (it didnt have really good brakes) so it was decided that the teenagers in the Bronco would help push him down the last hill and tow it to there place (they live around there some place close) As it was close to 2a.m. by this time, I left them to take my boy's home...

Heard later that they pushed the truck down the hill and he hit a bump that piched him of the side of the hill to where it now sits...They were supposed to try and remove it but it doesn't look like they were able to...

hhmmm, freak 2????


Uh, not quite. I wish!!! It's an '87 K10 Silverado with 61k miles on a TBI 350 and 4 speed I picked up a few months ago for $300. Was wrecked front and rear, but nearly perfect inbetween. I planned on (and still do) using the 350 for the Jeep, but someone here decided to throw a big mudbogging event, so I couldn't resist. Fred had a set of axles with 4.10's laying around (9.5" 14bolt and 8-lug 10 bolt) and he lincoln locked them yesterday. He also coughed up a set of 4" springs I gave him a couple of months ago. Jeff Towns (hope I got the name right!) loaned us the rubber from his big Dodge moose buggy for the event. The front axle went in today with the exception of the raised steering arm that will go in Tuesday. Also, the rear axle is in place with the exception of the u-bolts that will be here Tuesday. Shocks and driveline are bolted up. Won't be any rear brakes. Ditched them to conserve weight (aside from the fact that they were shot anyway). The bed is gone, along with the inner and outer front fenders and doors. Also cut down the front clip to be just a bit wider than the radiator, and will weld in some supports from the cab in the next couple of days. Still need to replace the steering column (existing one was fubar from the driver not wearing a seatbelt when it was wrecked), install a bucket seat on the driver's side, and throw some shocks on the front. The mud pit is supposed to be 200 ft. long, and 4 ft. deep. They said they're building it so that no one can possibly make a full pass. Sounded like a challenge to me! I just hope the axles hold up long enough to make two runs!!! We'll run the tires down to about 5 or 6 psi and take it slow and easy and hope they hold up.

Oh, and Dusty, lighten up those pics a little before you post them. Can't see squat!

I have found that its some guys with the "Jeeper" attitude just gets under my skin.  It is something I cant stand.  I dont care what you wheel just have a safe good time.

I can't stand that attitude either.  Yeah, I drive a Jeep, and I'm happy to whine about it's shortcomings.  At the same time I can't stand it when people have a complex and whine about how much Jeeps suck.  I like seeing a variety of vehicles and wouldn't want to be in a Jeep-exclusive club; celebrating diversity can mean more than giving Curtis a hug!  AKX is predominantly Jeeps, but that doesn't mean anything.  You're probably going to find more Jeeps on trails anywhere in the country, but that's just a factor of history, marketing, and statistics.

Either club is great.  Check them out and see which one fits!

RWC

P.S.  Phildo, Brentt hit it right on the head about the political stuff.  I'm not sure how you read that I was trying to start an inter-club fight.  I was just pointing out the importance of political awareness regardless of affiliation, and noting that both clubs are aware.

Yep.  If your an asshat with little to no reguard for the things our club stands for we are not going to welcome you.  Deal with it.  All the more reason that there is more than one club in town.

Arctic Offroad guys are great.  I remember when I drove all the way to Fairbanks to meet them so that I could assure them the first Meet and Greet was infact a reality.  Hospitable in every way.  We sat at the food factory and talked for hours.  They have become a viable force in the 4x4 world in the interior and I see nothing but good things from them.

Get a EGT guage.  That is the number one thing you need to keep an eye on.  Turn the pump up until you get up to about 1300 under a full load acceleration.  Then you know you are making maximum power.  Cruising around if you can get that EGT down to about 500-800 you will get optimum fuel economy.

1100 is usually what a diesel will run for an average.

Remember that a diesel does not have a gated intake so make sure that all the piping prior to the manifold allows as little restriction as is practical.

You also want to be able to move that exhaust out as fast as you can.  4" exhaust is not uncommon.

Also remember that Diesel has WAY more energy per gallon that mogas and you will be building torque faster than you will build HP.  100 hp can  equal 150-200 tq at times.

Other than that the 6.2 is a turd.  Swap in a 6.6.

Niko, make a choice but don't make it based on someone who obviously holds a grudge towards someone or something he hardly knows anything about.  
I can see your point about ages, sometimes it is hard to relate but it still happens.
Jeremy has hung in there with us old guys, he's like 19 or so and drive a BII, how's he do it if we're all so terrible?

As for the club thing, I'd like to see more of LF.
I think the two clubs could do a lot for each other.  
The batch of people I've wheeled with from each are all about the same thing, having fun and helping out.  
On the trail and in the community, some just go about it in different ways.
I'm quite happy to have known those I've met and wheeled with and quite a few of them I couldn’t tell which club they came from, they don't worry about stickers they just wheel.

This is HESCO's that was in the link I showed about the XJ...  HESCO 4.7L Stroker

I'm seriously thinking about doing something like this with some taxes.  If I can squeeze out enough money to have it done that is, and we all know how hard that can be sometimes.
That 5.0L rating 332hp @ 5250rpm, 379lbft @ 3800rpm is quite impressive!!!
I know they're rating all of that in the upper band but I'd imagine it'll have some good lower end grunt also...  Just the nature of the inline 6.

I do seriously doubt I'll go that way though because of the inherent nature of turning your everyday driver into a race engine powered everyday driver...  I don't think it'd last very long...

Cool pictures..how far you guys make it back there?

We went as far as Caribou Creek, and camped. Headed back out the next day cause some of us were getting low on fuel. (GARY!) and some of us were having a hard time keeping all our parts on our rigs. (GARY!)

But mostly, we headed out because it appeard that the weather might turn on us, and turn hell hill into a real messy situation. Well, I guess thats why. Anyone else care to comment?

Gary had a hard time:
Broken Sway Bar Disco
Front drive shaft fell out
Smashed the Hell out of his drivers rocker panel
Tore his rear bumper half off
Broke the Eye off his rear shock
Lost is coil twice
Last time he lost the coil, his spacer floated down caribou creek, never to be seen again

Not to mention almost falling off hell hill, twice
and nearly running out of fuel
and being stuck every 30 feet, for miles on end

LOL, great sport though. Never heard him complain once. Well, except for that one time where someone ELSE was holding up progress  \':21:\'

Jump all over someone cause they mention POT when these \':1:\'  \':1:\'  \':1:\'  \':1:\' are all over the place. No different.

Hmmm...I disagree.  Maybe it's my ultra conservative side coming out but it is WAY different to me.  If you are one who smokes dope in the privacy of your own home...fine I guess.  But the type of pothead that brags about it on a web board is a dumbass in more ways than one.  Lets face it, society has accepted that most adults over 21 partake in the occasional \':1:\'.  I'm pretty sure that APD might take exception to anyone partaking in the other.  That in it's self is a good reason not to brag about it.

Rich folks don't get a refund, because they don't give the government money through payroll deduction like most of us.  

Their investments are sheltered so they don't have to pay as much tax, and many pay quarterly estimated taxes, which they pay as little up front to the government as possible.


Everyone else can do the same thing.  Just because they are to lazy or dumb to do it doesn't mean that the people who are doing it are crooked.

I pay my taxes that way and I am in no way rich.  I pay almost every year.  Not alot and sometimes I get a small refund but people with 8 kids and then claim 00 because they like the tax refund are stupid.  Well more accuratly they are Lazy.  To lazy to use this miracle thing called a savings account and to lazy to budget thier life properly.

Don't bag the rich because they have the brains to do things correctly.  There is a reason that they are rich and most of that reason is because they are smart and not lazy.

I am not so sure if I agree with BearMoose's table either.  I would like to see the entire piece that this comes from.

But I do know this.  Targeting the rich is not the right answer.  They pay thier share and then some.  We keep dicking with them and that offshore account in the warm tropical climate is gonna start looking a whole lot better.

I like being able to go into a store and buying what I need, not having to order it and wait. I have no patience! I find up here the majority of everything I need I have to order, and pay out the a$$ for shipping. I was spoiled in the lower 48, Northern California specific, I rarely ever had a time where I couldn't locate a part I needed. Of course being in the same area for 15 years you tend to know people and the places to go to get what you need.
Even the common little parts are a pain to find. I spent 4 hours trying to find 1/4" wheel spacers. Common thing you can find at Kragens and Autozone....not here.

I know you said you're impatient when it comes to shipping, but USPS is a lot cheaper than FedEx/UPS.  You have to wait a little longer, but I've found it's about half the price.  Besides, there really isn't any venders up here that caters to cruisers.  Even going through the dealer (Nye), almost everything I've bought from them has to be shipped up.  So, I just buy through a dealer in CA who has a TLCA discount.  Even with shipping, it's way cheaper.

Example:  OEM water pump was $68. \':34:\'

Round abouts in general are not bad.  In England there are no intersections.  London is surrounded by on big round about.  They call it the M25 (London Orbital).  I have never seen any problems with them there.  I prefer them.  They actually improve rush hour conditions.

Now... in saying that.  Here in Anchorage?  With the snow and ice?  And the genuises we have behind wheels?

Damn!  I wish I owned a body shop!  When the webcam is up give me the site.
I will gladly kick back and watch with a cold one at hand.

I agree... Roundabouts work in England.. I have used them...

I have used them in Qatar as well...

I still think the Detroit E-Locker would be better than the ARB and the T-Locker, mainly due to the need for air being subtracted.

At the moment I have sent off the money to bay Bronze to pay for most of the plaque.  I will be sending the remaining money when the plaque is finished and being prepared to ship.  
Total cost for the plaque is slightly higher than expected, $948.00  
That includes shipping and handling though, which was thought to be in the $150 range...  Not to worry though current donations will suffice and we won't need any more.

The higher cost was due to the company being able to give us a discount on the original type of plaque; a raised (BAS Relief) carved style.  The discount came from one of their artists donating over $800 worth of time to do it for free.  Normally this plaque is in the $1900-$2500 range if that gives you an idea of the deal we're getting.
Quote (Jared Allison @ BayBronze @ June 23 2004,10:35)
Chaz,
This is obviously the most expensive kind of plaques we offer. This would
retail for around $1,975.00 See if you can raise $948.70 (wholesale) which
would also include your UPS shipping fee. The artist has offered to sculpt
the plane at no charge saving you around $850.

Let me know if you like these photos and we can go from there.


There is a good chance we are going to have to delay the run though, perhaps by only a week or so.  More to come on that as the company sets the completion date of the plaque.

I’ll keep everyone updated as events unfold and the time draws near for the run.

The Driving Force:  July 2004


SEMA, SAN And You--Legislative Efforts Protect the Hobby and
Enthusiasts


SEMA's legislative program isn't a part-time operation. It is up and running all 365 days of the year because wayward legislation can be introduced at any time. When possibly harmful legislation is put into the hopper, SEMA's Office of Government Relations in Washington, D.C. is ready to deal with it. We're on the lookout at all times.

Our mission is to monitor and analyze legislative and regulatory proposals issued by the states and the federal government and then advocate hobbyist positions to public officials on behalf of SEMA Action Network (SAN) members. So far this year, we've tracked over 350 legislative initiatives in states all over the country on issues ranging from scrappage to public-nuisance laws that seek to ban inoperable vehicles on private land to emissions-testing programs to registration classifications and equipment standards. Often, you'll read about our efforts in The Driving Force as cover stories or under "Legislative Quick Hits."

Sometimes, we profile legislators who have been friendly to the hobby and influential in getting helpful legislation passed and harmful ones stopped. These legislators want to help us and promote efforts to enjoy our rides. Part of our success lies in the coalitions and partnerships that we build with helpful legislators across the country and in the U.S. Congress. We make these contacts all through the year, even when there is no bad law or regulation being considered. As the saying goes, make hay while the sun shines. In our case, we make friends whenever and wherever we can. That way, if a bad piece of legislation comes down the pike, we can ask for assistance from a dedicated group of legislators. You don't want to look like a fair-weather friend and only ask for help when you need it most. For that reason, we encourage SAN members to do the same thing. As most of the State Legislatures have closed down for the year, now is the perfect time to meet your legislators and get to know them. Invite them to your summer club meetings and swap meets. You'd be surprised how many of them love cars and trucks. After all, they're people too! Advance preparation in any project is the key. Build your contact list now, so that you have it ready when you need it.

Many of the issues we confront daily in Washington directly affect SAN members and enthusiasts in general. We're hopeful that the information contained in The Driving Force is helpful to you in keeping track of our progress on the issues we've identified as being important. We encourage you to contact us with your thoughts. And, as always, we're extremely grateful to the SAN members who unfailingly answer our calls to action when we send out our Legislative Alerts that ask folks to call their legislators.

SEMA's Washington office also works closely with SEMA-member businesses and the various specialized SEMA Councils. These Councils include the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO),
comprised of those members involved in the restoration and preservation of our great rides, the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) whose members need no elaboration, and the Sport-Compact Council (SCC), again a group that speaks for itself. SEMA moves the legislative ball downfield through coordinated policy initiatives with the SAN. Together, we have a record of legislative successes that is second to none. Let's keep the ball moving as we look forward to 2005.

Legislative Quick Hits

California Emissions Exemption Repeal Passes In Assembly, Moves To Senate:  The California Assembly passed the bill to repeal the rolling 30-year exemption and replace it with a provision requiring the permanent testing of all 1976 and newer model vehicles, despite the estimated $200,000 in administrative costs. Meanwhile, the Senate approved contradictory legislation that would extend the state's current rolling emissions-test exemption to older vehicles being brought into California from out of state. SEMA is actively engaged in discussions with other interested parties on alternative approaches that will enable retention of the exemption in some manner or form. In the meantime, we request your messages in opposition to the legislation be sent to members of the Senate Transportation Committee, which will next consider the bill.

California Exhaust-Noise Testing Program Shows Continued Success: The California Bureau of Automotive Repair reports that approximately 90% of the over 1,700 vehicles that have undergone the state's exhaust-noise test through April have been certified as compliant with California law. The Bureau began operation of the exhaust-noise testing program last August. Test stations are issuing certificates of compliance for vehicles when tests of their exhaust systems show that they emit 95 decibels or less under a fair and predictable test procedure devised by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The testing program was the product of a SEMA- and SAN-supported law.

Hawaii Legislature Passes Street Rod/ Replica Bill; Sent to Governor: Both chambers of the Hawaii Legislature have passed a version of SEMA's model legislation regarding street rods and replica vehicles. The bill expands the definition of "street rod vehicle" and "street rod replica vehicle" to include vehicles manufactured before 1968 or kit cars manufactured after 1967 to resemble vehicles manufactured before 1968. Current law in Hawaii allows only vehicles manufactured prior to 1949 and replicas of these vehicles to be registered under these classes. The bill now moves on to Governor Linda Lingle for her signature.

Missouri Street Rod/Custom Vehicle Bill and Old-Car Emissions Exemption: The Missouri Legislature combined SEMA's model legislation to create titling and registration classifications for street rods and custom vehicles with a SAN-supported bill to exempt all vehicles 26 years old and older from emissions inspections and passed both provisions. The combined measure, known as S.B. 1233, now awaits Governor Bob Holden's approval before becoming law. The SEMA-model legislation provides for special license plates and exempts rods and customs from periodic inspections and emissions tests. It also provides for the use of non-original materials and requires an initial safety inspection based on criteria established in part by the local hobbyist community. Under the legislation, a replica vehicles is assigned the same model-year designation as the production vehicle it most closely resemble. If signed into law, the 26-year rolling emissions-test exemption will replace current law, which exempts only vehicles manufactured prior to the 1971 model year. We urge Missouri SAN members to ask Governor Holden to sign the legislation into law.

New Hampshire Legislature Passes Exhaust-Noise Bill; Sent to Governor: The New Hampshire House and Senate passed and sent to Governor Craig Benson an amended version of a SEMA-sponsored bill to remove vague and subjective provisions from the state's exhaust-noise law. Currently, New Hampshire deems illegal all modifications that increase noise levels above those emitted by the vehicle's original muffler. The original SEMA-drafted legislation required law enforcement authorities to prove that an exhaust system modification results in a noise level in excess of 95 decibels as measured by SAE test standard J1169 before issuing a citation. Deeming the 95-decibel limit too restrictive, the Legislature simply deleted provisions in the current law that referenced the noise levels of the original muffler.


Anti-Hobbyist Minnesota Legislation Dies as Legislature Adjourns

SEMA and the SAN helped defeat legislation that would have prohibited operation of an off-highway vehicle (OHV) on public land or public waters with an air-intake pipe or snorkel that is more than six inches above the manufacturer's original air-intake pipe. The bill formally died when the Legislature adjourned for the year. The measure was introduced as a proposal for a study on the impact of OHVs on wetlands but was amended in committee to include the proposed ban on snorkel use. "Existing Minnesota law already protects the wilderness and wetlands," commented SAN Director Conrad Wong. "Those laws should be enforced first before more laws that seek to further restrict off-road hobbyist rights are enacted."

In addition, working with the Minnesota racing community, SEMA amended legislation that would have imposed a ban on certain legal racing activities. As originally drafted, the bill would have outlawed motorsports events not sanctioned by a governmental entity and not taking place in areas that are licensed and authorized by the government as a racetrack. Under the SEMA amendment, events taking place on public roadways where vehicles do not exceed the speed limits would remain legal, as would authorized racing events that occur on public property. This bill died when the Legislature closed shop. "We are confident that if the bill is introduced again next year, the SEMA/SAN amendments will have the effect of outlawing dangerous speed contests on public roadways while supporting legal racing activities, including road rallyes, ice racing, autocross and circle track racing that have become a way of life for thousands of Minnesota enthusiasts," said SEMA Senior Director of Government Affairs Steve McDonald.


State Legislatures Begin to Adjourn for the Year

Several state legislatures already have adjourned for the year with many more to follow in the coming weeks.  During the past legislative session, SEMA's Office of Government Relations tracked over 350 pieces of legislation at the state level that were of interest to the aftermarket industry as well as automotive hobbyists and enthusiasts.  For a comprehensive review of legislative action from the past session, please visit the Legislative Roundup in the "Legislation and Regulations" section on the SEMA homepage at http://www.sema.org/main/semaorghome.aspx?ID=25259



Off-Road News

Proposal for More ORV Access to Southern California Forests: The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) released a proposal for managing four national forests in Southern California that would open up more backcountry trails to off-road vehicles. The four national forests are Angeles, Cleveland, San Bernardino and Los Padres, which cover 3.7 million acres from the U.S.-Mexico border to Big Sur. In close proximity to large urban centers, they experience nearly 8 million visitors a year. The USFS is proposing to increase by about 2% the total backcountry acreage in the four forests zoned for motorized use, which is nearly 1.6 million acres. This would include some new trails to connect existing routes and includes an informal network of roads in other areas. The plan also would add another 100,000 acres to the nearly 1.1 million acres already federally designated as wilderness. Public comments on the plan are due by August 11, 2004. More information available at http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/scfpr

U.S. Representative Pombo Establishes Pro-Industry Criteria for Wilderness Designations: Representative Richard Pombo (R-California), Chairman of the House Resources Committee, established two key principles for allowing the panel to consider legislation to create or expand federal wilderness areas. First, the U.S. Forest Service or Interior Department must deem the property to be suitable for wilderness designation. Second, there must be broad local support for the initiative. Local community backing would include support from the governor and a state's congressional delegation. This requirement is a challenge to several bills sponsored by Members of Congress from Eastern states to set aside millions of acres of land in the West. Representative Pombo also recommends that legislation simultaneously resolve the final status of wilderness study areas, tracts of land that have been identified as potential candidates for wilderness designations and that are managed as such. Congress makes the ultimate decision, and there are many areas that eventually may be released from the wilderness set-aside. Off-roaders are denied access to wilderness areas since the land is by definition "roadless." Representative Pombo's wilderness criteria are largely consistent with SEMA's policy of supporting responsible off-road vehicle access to public lands and opposing legislative and regulatory efforts that unfairly restrict access.

BLM Issues Draft OHV Plan for Wyoming Badlands: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a draft plan to identify designated off-road vehicle (OHV) routes within the McCullough Peaks badlands northeast of Cody, Wyoming. The badlands encompass about 120,000 acres, of which one-fifth is a wilderness study area. The plan divides the area's 333 miles of roads and trails into four categories: 239 miles would be open to all motorized traffic; 21 miles would be limited to all-terrain vehicles; 13 miles would be reserved for administrative use only; and 60 miles of roads would be closed. The BLM contends that the plan is balanced and would help prevent the creation of new, unauthorized routes. Local environmentalists believe not enough of the land has been set aside as non-motorized wilderness.

Utah Unlikely to Pursue More Rights-of-Way Claims: The Utah Attorney General is not expected to file any more rights-of-way claims on public lands under an old mining law known as RS 2477 and a recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Interior Secretary Gale Norton and former Utah Governor (now EPA Administrator) Mike Leavitt on how claims may be pursued. The U.S. General Accounting Office has concluded that the MOU was illegal since Congress must authorize any regulation that recognizes right-of-way claims. While the Department of the Interior contends that an agreement with the state is not a regulation, Utah's Attorney General's office is disinclined to file any more claims. To date, Utah has filed one right-of-way claim, to the 99-mile Weiss Highway, but the ownership assertion has been challenged since there is evidence that the federal government paid for construction of the road in the 1930s. RS 2477 allows states to claim rights-of-way that existed before land was designated as federal property. The roads must have existed prior to 1976, be navigable by car or truck, and not be located within a national park, wilderness or wilderness study area.



We Get Letters

First, let me say that I appreciate the good work SEMA does in watching out for the collector-car hobby. If it weren't for SEMA alerting us to these types of anti-hobby bills, we might not know until after the fact.

But, I must take issue with the section in the June Driving Force about the Illinois inoperable-vehicle bill, HB 4910. It's not defeated and it's not dead! I had the chance to hear State Representative Dan Brady speak. He was the sponsor of this bill. Representative Brady reported that no further action would be undertaken this term, meaning it can resurface in January
2005. He already is working on an amendment to make it more palatable, but he is still behind it. To his credit, he is listening and taking input from constituents that include car clubs. My point is that we cannot pat ourselves on the back just yet. This bill probably will come back.

Michael Balogh

Dear Mr. Balogh:
We can confirm that this bill, HB 4910, is dead for the two-year session of the Illinois legislature that adjourned on May 31, 2004.

Nevertheless, you raise another issue-the fact that legislation is frequently reintroduced and the battle is re-engaged in a future legislative session. One battle may be all that is needed to defeat a measure. Then again, the fight may extend over several sessions. We see this occur frequen-tly with other initiatives, for example, scrappage and emissions-testing bills, in state legislatures and in the U.S. Congress.

Each side uses the multi-year strategy to build support or finally give up. For example, we came close to enacting the street rod/custom vehicle legislation in Missouri last year but were stung by the Governor's veto (on an unrelated issue). We didn't give up. We made sure it was reintroduced
this year and today we are on the verge of having it enacted into law.

Another way of phrasing the issue is that legislative life is cyclical and it is important to appreciate the hard work, dedication and victories that come along during the process. Sometimes you don't know when you scored the ultimate victory or just hit a successful milestone in an ongoing battle.

Regardless, there are times to applaud the SAN, the support of enthusiasts like yourself and SEMA staff for a job well-done. Mission accomplished-for this year.

We appreciate your sharing your thoughts with us.

Attention Car Clubs, Event Organizers and Enthusiasts!
Put SEMA on Your Mailing List!


We'd like to know what's going on with SEMA Action Network clubs and enthusiasts across the country; what charity events you're involved in; when and where the rod runs, car shows, trail rides, rallies and tech meetings are held; and what legislative and regulatory issues concern club members and individual enthusiasts.

One of the best ways to keep us abreast of what's going on and what's important to the vehicle hobbies nationwide is for us to receive your club newsletters and updates. Please consider placing SEMA on your mailing list. Send correspondence to: Conrad Wong, SEMA, 1317 F Street, N.W., Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20004-1105. Or by e-mail at conradw@sema.org.

Hey! That's My Car!


Thanks to all who have sent in or e-mailed us photos. Efforts to replenish our photo library and continue publishing an informative as well as visually appealing newsletter are going well. . .but we need more photos!

We need more antique/classic pictures, more restoration-process pictures, more hot-rod pictures, more junkyard pictures, more street-rod pictures, more sport-compact pictures and more lifted 4x4 pictures.

Please continue to send us photos of your trail rides, restorations in progress, rod runs, car shows, charity events and drag races.

Kindly submit pictures to: The Driving Force, SEMA, 1575 South Valley Vista Dr., Diamond Bar, CA 91765. You also may send high-resolution digital pictures (minimum 300 dots per inch in resolution; minimum 5 inches wide) by e-mail to carrw@sema.org. While we regret that we cannot return any pictures, the next time we do a story focusing on your segment of the automobile hobby, we may use your ride as the example.

My reasoning is just because Community is just to broad of a term. There are those in the 4x4 community that would rather go out a tear stuff up, and get muddy. Which is exactly what the clubs don't want to be viewed as. And those people shouldn't get and recognition for anything like this, because they would never do it.


Phil's got a pretty good point Chaz. The "Offroad (4x4) Community" is, in the eyes of the general public, ALL of us. The fact is that most wouldn't lift a finger to help with something like this. If any recognition is displayed, it should be specific about the clubs who have taken part. I'm not one to look for recognition for good deeds in the first place, but all of us here on the Rock are, or were enlisted, so this is one that I particularly take to heart, and would be proud to see Emerald Isle's name on there to show our support for our fallen brothers.

My .02 cents of course.

Really need a time to have everyone kill the toons. Mid night rolls around and the Kodiak boys crank the radios. In my opinion was just wrong, there where little kids trying to sleep and what not.


Kodiak Boys cranking tunes? Well, my kid and I were sound asleep at 11:30 Saturday night, and so were Fred, Al & Stacey. I know the Dodge was over at the bonfire late with the tunes cranking though, so I'll kick Dusty in the balls for you if you like!

I definitely agree on having a separate area for the "late night festivities"  to occur, so that folks trying to get some sleep aren't disturbed. The only thing worse than sober people when you're drunk, are drunk people when you're sober! As far as the classes go, I agree that the heat had alot to do with poor turnouts for the second set. Who would have guessed we would have 85 degrees all weekend. I can admit that I couldn't take it and headed for cover for the afternoon! All in all, it was a great event, and we're all looking forward to next year. The biggest thing I could wish for, is a three day weekend, with two full days of trail runs. I have no real regrets for the expense of coming over from Kodiak, but it would have been nice to have gotten to run more than just one trail.

Superior Machine is no longer doing anodizing.  I called, they stopped just a month ago.  Originally built the set-up for a large job (something about radar installtions around the state) which paid for the equipment.  They tried to keep it going afterwards offering anondizing to snowmachiners and such, but didn't get enough business to make it profitable.  Still has all the equipment ("Want to buy it?" the guys asked me), but production has been mothballed.  Nice gentlemen though, real chatty.

Anchorage Drag Bike doesn't do anodizing according to the guy who answered the phone.  Didn't sound like they ever did.  "Call Superior Machine..." he told me.

So, if you want something anondized looks like either do it yourself or have to send it out of state.  Unless someone else has some leads.

Tinbender - I have not been impressed with some of the stuff I have seen or heard about that was powdercoated.  Even major aftermarket parts like Warn's bumpers have chipped I undesrstand.  I figured the anodizing process would have a much better resistance to chip and crack.  And it looks slick, was just an idea.  Oh well, got half the track installed already as is, and hoping to get the other one done tonight.  I may get them powdercoated at a later date.

I'm curious as to why a wider tire is worse on ice and snow?  I would think that the more contact with the ground, the more traction you would get.

Ice and snow + W I D E = BAD  (More sliding area) Penetration of the ice is the only cure...

Example: Test this theory put on my size 10 jump boots on an icy slope...you will slide some distance.  Now put my same feet in the same spot in a set of Bigguns size 16 Landboats (for example) same style jump boot...you won't be able to stop sliding.

Im sure your right about driving around on only 3 links of a 4 link. but without the upper of a wishbone, you arent driving anywhere. A 4 link will still have control over the pinion rotation if one link is missing. a 3 link wishbone will not. Lateral control will definately be the problem with a 4 link missing one link.


\':41:\'

I would have to agree!
Broke my 3 link design a couple weeks ago on the street....real neat hopping act when the driveshaft went into a bind. A 4 link would have stopped the diff rotation.

102"  Now your talking.

Your gonna love it.  Infact I would not be suprised if you push the front out to get it to 105 or so....

Your old man's back is gonna thank you for the stretch Franky.  Really.  But I bet your Wheelie Days are over.

Your also gonna have to do something to cover those tires if you plan on rolling the road much.  Johnny Law is going to be all over you if you leave 44" of tire exposed....lol.

Oh and start looking for a 14bolt.  Everytime I look at that SF60....I hear a pop.  Those are BIG tires.

LOL Brentt, I am not really worried about the johnny law. It does stick pass the bumper a good 6"es. But, the thing is license, registered, and insured lol. So the worst they can do it ticket me. If I do start getting bothered reall bad, I was thinking about doing a tub stretch. Next winter of course.... Taking another old CJ-5, cutting a good 8" chunk out of the back of the little bed part. And adding it into mine. But, I dont want the tub over hanging the tires.

 I think I am going to like the new WB. I know Cole does. He kept telling me. Go further back, go further back. That was when I was thinking 96"es would be the best. And now that it is 102... Well... LOL...

I am not to worried about the 60. Its 35 splined, spooled up. The semi floater doesnt bother me either. We'll see, but I dont think it will be a problem. OK, I have to go vote now

Stop saying "Butte = Knik"  you need to be more clear, because Knik means more than one thing in the Valley.  You need to say Butte is next to Knik River, or Knik Glacier.. Or even Butte is out by Knik, when used in the 4x4 term makes sense.. But "Butte = Knik" does not because there is a small historic town up Knik Goose Bay Rd near Wasilla named Knik too, and anyone who lives up that road typically says that they live up Knik or in Knik...

You will need a lathe to get it done correctly. If your good, it can be done without using weights for balance. You don't find to many places that can do that, I doubt any up here.

I beg to differ.

The majority of the light duty drivelines I build, leave here with out needing any weight.

Its all about how much time you have to spend on a driveline, the quality of the parts used, and the length.

The shorter a driveline is, the harder it is to straighten.  I did a 1710 driveline yesterday that was made from 4" .134 wall tube. Problem was there was only 5" of tube.  Two welds that burn HOT that close together make things a pain to straighten because essentially what you do to one end effects the other.

When you have a "normal" sized driveline, say around 35"-40", Its pretty easy to get right. Of course if you are reusing old parts, used joints, or worn out slips and stubs, then It gets harder and harder to make perfect.

As for the topic at hand.  Yes you can do it at home.  It probably wont be straight, and it might shake a little, but if its just going on a buggy then go for it.

If you have any questions about procedure or parts or whatever, feel free to pm me.  I do it for a living.

If you can afford Snap-On, or Mac, or any other tool-truck tool, you won't regret it later, sitting in the mud with a broken tool and a half-fixed driveline.

For that matter, if you don't mind the weight, Grant's unit looks cheap, and darn near unbreakable, and trail repairable, as well.

Butte = Knik.

The junkyard is off the Old Glenn, around the same place to go to Knik.

I never saw that Jeep there.  They have mostly older stuff... Chevys, Fords, few cars here and there.

Stop saying "Butte = Knik"  you need to be more clear, because Knik means more than one thing in the Valley.  You need to say Butte is next to Knik River, or Knik Glacier.. Or even Butte is out by Knik, when used in the 4x4 term makes sense.. But "Butte = Knik" does not because there is a small historic town up Knik Goose Bay Rd near Wasilla named Knik too, and anyone who lives up that road typically says that they live up Knik or in Knik...

jeep will be mostly a pavement pounder that will maybe run trails half a dozen times a year. Trails will be mostly steep, dirt, (some mud)and winding through trees.

The Act requires the State to produce and have approved by the EPA a State Implementation Plan (SIP).  If the SIP doesn't bring the area into attainment within a specified time period, the EPA imposes REALLY REALLY REALLY bad sanctions.  If you think the existing I/M program is bad, I'd hate to see what would have happened if we hadn't made it into attainment.  Because the rest of the State isn't in danger of violating one of the standards, I believe the SIP for Anchorage puts the burden on the municipality to enforce the I/M program.  Either way, it's not something the Anchorage or the State of Alaska had a choice about.  Ultimately the SIP has to be approved by the EPA.  And quite frankly, it's worked.  Both Anchorage and Fairbanks are now pending for "attainment" classification.  That doesn't mean that I/M goes away.

I think the main reason the cabin renovation hasn't found much support has less to do with history and more to do with location.

Many of us have decided to avoid Knick, due to the risks of traversing the Jim Creek area. Even if you make it through the drunks, fires, and flying bullets in the first couple miles up the river, it is still about the only place in Alaska a vehicle left unattended is guaranteed to be destroyed in 12 hours.

If the cabin were on or near any other trail, I suspect we would be quite enthusiastic about contributing time and resources, in order to have a remote retreat or basecamp for trailruns.

 Discusion...
   How about a different cabin next to the old one...A good proper cabin...
   Donated material and time...
 Discusion...
   Burn the old cabin to the ground and place a plaque there.
   
  The thread was a hot topic for a couple weeks. We had aprox 15 to 20 board members offering time and money for the cause.
    I remember 2 or 3 post that suggusted the cabin be burned... Without offering to help on a new cabin.
   Those post were chastised for THINKING of burning anothers property.
   The overall response was .... Build a new cabin... Place a respectfull plaque there and THEN burn the old cabin to the ground.
   The owner of the cabin(Board name "Knik Cabin")
  Stopped responding... The thread had some controversy to it... He was prolly lurking and if you did not read ALL of the thread... Well a controversial topic will stir some emotion.

The pit turned into more of a pond due to the rain and we ended up having to grab a pump from the local rental outfit to pump her down a bit. Basically all it did was keep it from getting any higher. The RoJo OsO made a great showing and made three runs at the pit. The first two the driversside hub wasn't engaging so she stuck at the end of the pit. The last run Eric made we were able to fix the problem and he pulled through the pit like a champ. Launched out the other side. Joe Henderson in his Bogger Shod Chevy Step side was the home town Hero of the day making three full runs the last one coming from the opposite direction. When he crawled in to the pit the last time a wave of water ran all the way up to the middle of his windshield but he kept truckin'. I swear that truck must drink water like gasoline. I made it all the way to the end of the pit dunked the hood started my crawl out and the truck just died. Must have gotten the computer a little moist. Fred (Winter Raven 4x4) Built a rig with the help from his 13yr old daughter and shod it with 37" Boggers out back and his aluminum block stock car engine. First run the almost made a full pull, second run got bogged down half way and couldn't get her running again. Eric let his 11yr old son Zack drive his 1 ton axled Jeep. When the horn blew zack hammered down on the throttle leaping nose first into the pit. Douched the engine immediately.
I'm sure this is only the beginning of the mudbogging event to be held here in Kodiak. Alot of talk of more to come. Here are some of the pictures.

Hi guys, and gals...
I just walked through the door and am home for good now.  I honestly didn't know something like this would cause so many to care but I thank you all none the less...!!!
The Doc says recovery won't be so bad so I hope he is right.
I need to get some sleep now though, so I'll post up some more about it later, I have a feeling I'll have plenty of time to just sit and ponder.

Sorry to grave dig (pun Intended).  But I think this topic needs to be brought back up since Kris's little rant in the other thread.

Those probably won't solve your cooling problem though, just my opinion. might help keep things coller, but if you were over heating there is someelse that need addressing. Then again, I am a radio guy, not a wrench!

I'm still trying to get past the Johnson Tire/Oil Change part.  What were you thinking??  I knew you were dripping some oil.  Should have said you wanted to tackle the filter while you were here at the shop.  

Well I was thinking.. They where balancing the tires why the hell not just have them change the oil too. This is the only time I've ever had someone change the oil on this truck.

I'm not sure if it is the filter or not, as there was oil all over the oil pan and that side of the engine. But I figure it is. Once that thing is off I'll check all the bolts on the pan as well as everything on that side of the engine thats connected to the block.

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.


MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are
cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper
next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with
food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country
of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grass hopper, and everybody cries
when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the
news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."

Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's
sake.

Tom Daschle & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings that
the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an
immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."

Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act,"
retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to
hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his
retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation
suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges
that Bill Clinton had appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the
ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the
ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now
abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful
neighborhood.

There are at least three different styles of thermostat housings, two of which had provisions for the CTUs (or whatever they're called) to adjust the vacuum advance based on engine temperature.  You don't really need that CTU (if you're even running it now), and you can ditch it to put the temperature sending unit there.  If you don't have the right housing you can score one from four out of five AMC V8s.

A guage in this location will run about 15 to 20 degrees hotter than a standard manifold location because the coolant is at the very end of leaving the engine.  With a 190 degree thermostat, my VDO guage will show the engine at 200-210, while the laptop will read at 185-190

I moved the front forward about 5 inches and the rear back about 4.  Front will have near a 90 approach.  Rear still sucks but Oh well.

I think I might have to do a little trimming to the rear.  Whatcha think.

Those are the Q's.  It is actually still sitting on 31's and they are just rolled into place so the front fender will have better clearence than the pic, but the wheelbase is right on at 100.5".



Shackle Reversal and Spring Over. Hooked the steering up.  1 ton Chebby stuff.

Front axle also got converted to disc brakes and a set of Longfields.  I kept the Aisin hubs as they are reported by the I8Mud guys as stronger.

About a month ago got something in the mail from Fourwheeler, and video that I never requested to be sent to me.  Included was a form asking to mail it back to them or send payment for the video subscription.  (But I could keep their cheesy coin free!)

I taped the package right back up without ever watching the video because I was pissed.  I managed to lose the pre-paid return label, so its been sitting on my desk since.

Today got another letter asking me to either return the video, or send payment and they'll start sending more videos on a regular basis.  This crap pisses me off!!

What they are doing is wrong, and out of line.  Unfortunately my magazine subcription is paid for the next two years or something.  I am going to send a letter canceling my subscription (I hardly read the glossy rags anymore anyways) and see if I can get a refund on what's left of the subscription.  I get really hacked off about stuff like this.

Anyways, did a little research and wanted to share with anyone else who may have received the same thing.

Click here to see what USPS has to say about unsolicited merchandise.

FOREST SERVICE RELEASES DRAFT POLICY
ON OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE USE IN NATIONAL FORESTS AND GRASSLANDS


WASHINGTON, July 7, 2004 – U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service today released its proposal for managing motorized off-highway vehicle (OHV) use in national forests and grasslands, which will enhance recreational opportunities for the public and better protect the environment by requiring units to establish a designated system of roads, trails and areas.

“OHVs are a great way to experience the national forests, but because their popularity has increased in recent years, we need an approach that will sustain natural resource values through more effective management of motor vehicle use. The benefits of improving OHV use include enhanced protection of habitat and aquatic, soil, air and cultural resources,” said Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth. “The Forest Service wants to improve its management by balancing the public’s enjoyment of using OHVs with ensuring the best possible care of the land.”

In 2002, national forests and grasslands had more than 214 million visits. Nationally, the number of OHV users climbed sevenfold in the last 30 years--from five million in 1972 to 36 million in 2000. OHV users account for about 1.8 million or five percent of visitors to national forests and grasslands. Currently each of the 155 national forests and 21 grasslands has guidelines regarding OHV use, with some national forests managing use on a designated system of roads, trails and areas, while other do not. As a result, the Forest Service does not have a clear, consistent policy regarding motor vehicle use on national forests and grasslands.

The proposed rule represents a nationally consistent approach to travel management by requiring each forest and grassland to designate a system of roads, trails and areas slated for motor vehicle use. It would allow national forests to denote use of routes and areas by vehicle type and, if appropriate, by time of year. Once the designation process is complete, OHV use would be confined to designated routes and areas, and OHV use off these routes (cross-country travel) would be prohibited. Snowmobile use would continue to be managed as it is currently—allowed, restricted or prohibited on roads and trails and in areas on National Forest System lands.

“While some forests have begun to designate roads, trails, and areas for OHVs, I expect units to make significant progress in improving management of OHVs in the next two years,” said Bosworth. “We want to improve our management of outdoor recreation by having a system of routes and areas offering the best opportunities for OHV use while still meeting our responsibility to sustain National Forest System lands and resources.”

The proposed rule calls for the Forest Service to continue to engage with motorized sports enthusiasts, conservationists, state agencies, local governments, tribal governments, and others to identify routes offering the best opportunities for OHV use while still meeting its responsibility to protect the environment. The public would continue to be allowed to participate in the process of designating roads, trails, and areas or revising designations and would continue to receive advance notice to allow for public comment on proposed or revised designations. The agency has partnered with these groups in the past to provide enhanced motorized recreation opportunities by constructing, marking, maintaining and restoring trails as well as by providing training and safety instruction to users.

OHVs include motor vehicles that are designed or retrofitted primarily for recreational use off road, such as minibikes, amphibious vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles, go-carts, motorized trail bikes, and dune buggies.

The agency is accepting comments for 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register. The rule text submitted to the Office of the Federal Register is available on http://www.fs.fed.us/. Written comments may be sent to:

if it is constant DC power out put you can get Lincoln LN25 box and run any wire feed you want.

I have used the LN25 and they good wire feed machines. We beat the shit out of them and they still work, even when they are smashed with a man-lift. \':24:\'

Another nice welding machine I have used is one of the Lincoln Invertechs.  They are just a power source so you will have to run a wire feed or stick but for their size they really crank out the power.  After running out about 250 to 300 feet of welding lead it only felt like I lost 10 amps, not bad.  Allot of the old timers that weld with these machines don't like them because they are used to welding with gas machines that put out current in the form of a sine wave where the invertechs wave is square so they have a different feel to them.  Like Ryan said go to Air Liquide and make some welds.

I dont see why you cant build a perfectly capable rig up here for less than 4k.

If you arent in a hurry, scour the for sale adds with a fine tooth comb and look really hard for good deals then you can build a rig cheap.

Having some wrenching know-how helps to.

With a winch, some 31mts, and some skill you should be able to run any trail up here.

sounds like you need to make a couple trips to the Caribou Hills. \':34:\'

Buy, ya, 99.3"% of the trails around here can be run with street legal 31's, if you have a winch. This is a great way to learn how to wheel!

Not to mention adding so fun to trails that would otherwise be boring for rigs on large tires. Im looking forward to wheeling the wifes XJ on 235 muds  \':16:\'

The rain continued all night making us a little worried about the trail none of us had run before.  With a late start we started up Pinochle in foggy weather.  The trail was a little greasy but we made up to the large bogs without much incident.

Then we spent the better part of the afternoon playing leap frog and using FB's Pul-pal more times than I counted.  Without any trees to winch to and all of us running similarily equppied Jeeps we would set the pul-pal when someone got stuck, then use the same anchor point for the next two behind.

As we approached "Hell Hill" we heard another group on the FRS, though never quite caught up with them.  Nick from Northern 4x4 and a few others (sorry, didn't catch who else was with them) were setting a few permanent winch anchors along the hill.  As we got to the hill, we saw the 1.5" Sch. 40 pipe they had driven into the ground and added two smaller cross pieces, all welded together.  We found a total of 3 anchors (though missed one at first when we set the pul-pal 6 feet from the anchor).

The sun had come out and hill looked resonable dry by late afternoon, so we decended the hill and had lunch by the river.  This became our turn-around point.  We all had to winch through at least one spot on the hill on the way back up, and numerous times through the bogs again.

There are usually 2 temp senders on an EFI motor. One is the CTS (coolant temp. sensor), this is usually a 2 wire sensor that tells the computer engine temperature. The second is the coolant temp. sender, this is only for the gauge. Not having the CTS hooked up will effect more than ignition advance (not vacuum advance, as EFI doens't use vacuum to adjust timing). Cold starts, idle, pulse width, pretty much everything will be thrown for a loop without a CTS signal.

Right, but that's for a factory-style EFI.  Crazy5's got a GM-based TBI, as do I, sitting on an AMC V8 designed for a carb.  I don't know if Crazy5's system has a provision for a temperature guage, but I'm guessing it doesn't.  I know mine doesn't.  And I'm not talking about the CTS.  The factory carbed AMC V8s used a couple of something I think they called a "CTU" or a "CTO" (my CJ manual says "coolant temperature override switch" as part of the EGR and air-injection systems) which are purely mechanical devices.  There were a couple places where they were used for different functions (ie. EGR and air-injection).  If so equipped, the one that sat on the thermostat housing was for vacuum advance.  My understanding is that they use the property of two different metals expanding/contracting (like a thermostat) to redirect vacuum to/from the distributor.  I don't believe all the CJ-5/7 304s used this vacuum advance system, but I know AMC used it on the 360 starting at least in 1978 in FSJs.  I happily ran my 360s without the CTO when I switched to EFI, but still wanted a guage.

With the AMC Performer intake, you've got a hole for a mechanical guage, and you've got a hole for the factory electrical guage sending unit.  The TBI system needs the hole for the mechanical guage to be plugged by the CTS for the ECU.  If you just want to run the factory guage, you'll be fine, but if you want to run a mechanical guage, you need to find a new hole.  That's where the thermostat housing comes in.

Grant, I tried adjusting the wire speed.  If I go 1 "click" more, it starts blowing through the steel.  In this case I was welding 1/8" to 3/16".  One click less and it's too slow.  Wire is Er70s6.  From what I understand, that's a general "farmer" wire... like 6011 rod would be for stick.

Again the weather was rainy early on, but cleared up through out the day and the trail was actaully dryer on the way out than going in.  We ran into the packhorse out on the trail by himself while winding through the trees.

For the most part the travel was slow and steady for the group.  At the rock section I managed to negotiate my YJ through the rocks with a lot of spotting help.  Crazy5 gave it a couple shots, but between the lack of a rear locker and his jeeps tall/narrow stance making us nervous be opted for the mud and pretty much idled through.  FB also gave the rock section a few attempts but we had trouble finding a line to work for his jeeps wide stance.

The ruts through the mud after the rocks was a bit deep, but didn't cause any problems for our group.  We had lunch at the river, but since it was getting late we just mad a short visit to "Tent City" then headed back.

At the rocks this time I took a bad line and slipped off a couple sideways.  Nothing to scary at the moment, but any attempt at moving slid the jeep worse and worse.  So this time FB bounced right on by me making it look easy and got in position for me to winch to him.  The first and only time we pulled cable on this trip.  I got back on a line with the rocks, and we both drove out the rest of the section without much difficulty.

We took a short detour while heading back through the valley to get a different view, then made our way back to the trail head.

I grew up in the Tri-Cities. Know the Blues and Wallowas like the back of my hand, and spent alot of time in Clarkston (Hell's Canyon), and Orofino as well. Took the kids to Colville summer before last to see Joseph's grave & momorial. Definitely one of our nations greatest leaders. Too bad not many know anything about him today! Alot to be learned from him. Never got the chance to follow the trail much (other than by highway). I envy you! I will walk in "Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain's" footsteps one day as well!

I don't know, it had been almost two years since I have been on the trail I think.  But we saw No Trespassing signs at the original start of the trail, and bit "Purinton Creek Trail Head <---" sign a little further down the road.  We went in by the "new" pull out and followed the signs, it picked back up with the orignal trail a couple miles down the trail (Crazy was watching on his GPS).

I think Curtis knows a little more about it, I remember him saying at a meeting that the first part of the trail had been changed.

I am in the process of doing the same thing, except with a d-20. The problem is the output shaft on the tranny will not work with anything other then the quadratrack. So he would need both the transfer case as well as the tranny. It took me 5 months of searching every junk yard and tranny shop to find a D-20 transfer case mated to a TH400 for my swap.
Now i do have a NP229 as well as a 727 that should bolt up to his 360. im in the process of pulling the engine tranny and t-case from my donor (72 gladiator) and should be able to tell you within a week if that np229 and 727 will match up to his 360/304.

You guys are welcome to come out to my place and take a look as well.

Bring your sense of adventure.  Hike Wolverine Peak while you are in town (7 miles one way I think).  Have a Jeeper take you to Eska Creek Falls (unless it is really rainy, inwich case your pucker factor might be a little high).

Either drive out and Hike the Matsu Glacier or have someone take you to the Knik (BE CAREFUL).

I got the letter the other day, saying that if I did not want the video, I could mail it back at Primedia's expense, assuming I still had the label.

I am keeping everything they sent me, letters and all, so if they want to pursue the matter, I can back myself up.

I wouldn't mind being informed of the video deal in the magazine, but the way they go about getting people's interest in the video collection is all wrong.  It makes me feel like they take me to be a chump who they can make some easy bucks off of.

My dad got into a similar scuffle with National Geographic Explorer.  He subscribed to the magazine for something like 10 or 15 years, then they send him some video on some remote South American culture or some shit.  We let the video sit on the counter for a few weeks, then a letter shows up demanding $10 or $20 for the video.  My dad simply wrote them a letter saying that he did not ask for the video, has not opened the package, and will not pay for it.  They keep sending invoices with warnings and what not, so he cancels his subscription and sends them another letter.
They finally dropped it after a month or so, but what a bunch of jackasses.

Lot's of horse riders and ATV'S out too...Most everyone was real nice and friendly...

Was a good time...Would have liked to have meet up and wheeled with you guy's...BUT there will be other times...

That is a terrible engine.  It will let you down at the first sign of trouble.

Please call 349-2629 to arrange pickup and disposal of that Boat Anchor..........

Seriously, if your not worried about IM it will be more than enough to make you happy.

I'm pretty sure you're being a sarcastic fawk,  \':34:\' but still, just so as not to confuse the boy.. The 4.3's aren't bad at all.. They're basically the 350 with two cylinders lopped off.  These aren't the 2.8/3.1/3.4 60 degree family of crap, the 4.3's were introduced in '89 in the S-10's I think, 88 in the full sizers? Anyway, they are very reliable.

He get's all pissed because I can't hear him so he comes downstairs into his driveway and yells "get your ass over here".  What?

I just ignore him, so he comes stomping over to my driveway, and stays "shut the fawking garage door".  Aparently I was making too much noise painting... ok?? Is that the way to ask?

He goes on staying I'm "fawking grinding on that fawking piece of shit red truck everynight" (my Jeep) and claims that we are drifting and running over kids with a little VW Rabbit my roomate has. (WTF?  drifting? haha ... running over kids?)  They he walks up to the VW, punches the hood a few times and starts swearing again.  Claiming the the "piece of shit is going to fawking get towed to a crusher tomorrow morning" etc.

They he goes on a rant about how's he delivered on base for 19 years and he know the attitude no good piece of shit GIs like us are.  Also we'd better start packing, because he is going to get us kicked out of the Air Force (WTF?).  All sorts of other "threats"

I didn't feel that I was in the wrong,  but I tried to apologize, to get him to calm down, but that resulted in a few more "fawk yous" and threats.

Anyway, I don't know what this guys problem is, but I've never had a complaint from anyone else, including the houses on both sides of mine.  I've been in this house since January.  Most of the neighbors have stopped by to say hi once or twice even.  One of them even mows my lawn just because she wants to help out!

This guy just has a way bad attitude, from what it seemed toward military people.

What exactly are the quiet hours in Anchorage?  From what I understood 10PM?  Could I get in trouble for making too much noise during the day?  Really this guy can go EAD for all I care, but I don't want Johnny Law coming by.

Not to say anything about how upset my son was(he thought this man was going to kill us) the tooper then told me that because my son was NOT harmed that there was not anything he could do but that I could take him to small claims court but that I would have to first find out his name and address so I could serve him papers...
I told him that if he HAD hurt my son that they would be picking up his dead body and I wouldn't be needing to serve him Papers...

He told me that he has had people ram other peoples cars and that there is nothing that they can do about it other than to take them to small claims court...
I told him that part of why I didn't take it into my own hands was that I wanted my son to see how the law system worked...But that this was NOT what I had in mind to show him...

Having said that.  Spray painting in your own garage is not noisy.  Neither is talking to your roommate.  Unless you were really getting animated in a conversation or something.

You did the right thing by not taking matters into your own hands.  Good self control.  I don't have that control.  He would still be picking through his shit to find teeth if he did that to me.

I had a neighbor there on Kuter that was just like that.  I was throwing a neighborhood BBQ one day and it was about dinner time on a Saturday 1700 or so.  There were probably 10 adults and twice as many kids all running around and eating and genreally having a good time.

This Asshole comes home from work and says "Hey next time you decide to have a BBQ on my front lawn do you mind asking?"  Thinking he is just flipping me shit cuz we were having fun and he had to work I offer up "Don't sweat it man, we saved you some ribs."

"I don't want any ribs I want you off my lawn."  He responds.  And he gets that look on his face, you know the one.  All the blood floods away and you become pale because your pissed off.  He actually starts walking toward the group this way.

I turn and give him a simple reply "Listen Bud, this is not YOUR lawn.  Your just detailed with keeping the grass cut."  that stopped him dead in his tracks.

Well if you know how those Quads are set up you will know that there is a very limited amount of Lawn and all of your personal space is enclosed via a 6 foot fence.  He absolutly did not like my comment.  He said something else but by this time I was not listening to anything but the 11 series in me..........."Allright, a confrontation.  This should be good, wonder if he taste's like chicken?"

Thanks God for my wife and my Warrent Officer buddy.  I about ended my career and his over a fucking BBQ.

They got the guy to go into his house and he called the SP's.  They drove buy and I cooked them a burger.  You could see him standing inside his house about ready to explode when I offered up a free meal to them....

Nate, you did the right thing.  If the guy comes back call the cops.  Don't go to jail for any of those people.  Save the fight for when it REALLY matters.

Tell me, please, where is the win?

Wrong question.  The better question is "where is the loss?"  So far, too much of the loss has been right in downtown New York and Washington DC, and could just as easily occur again in any city in the U.S.  We are not dealing with a warlike nation with a standing army and a bone to pick.  We are dealing with zealots who think that dying for the right cause guarantees they will be welcomed in heaven by Allah and a horde of naked women.  Failing to preempt this sort of insane hostility in an area of the world that is deeply opposed to our own way of life, in a time when it is getting easier and easier to find soldiers of the faith willing to die just to make a vague point or kill an American...that failure, in my opinion, is the loss we have already suffered, and will suffer again if we fail to act first.  We have already felt the result of failing to preempt one known hostile cretin when we had the chance.  We are already having to give up personal freedoms for the sake of "national security" and "national safety" which, to my mind, suggests that the terrorists have already won round one.  Now, perhaps, you would counsel that we should permit this to happen again, perhaps take another hit here on our soil just to avoid having to commit troops and risk young lives -- fail to take on terrorists in a head-on conflict on their soil and on our terms?

Personally, I think we are not using enough force in the Middle East.  Not necessarily that we need more troops, but that as a nation, we should be less hesitant to use more force in order to preserve our own freedoms.  If we don't kill these people over there, they will soon enough try to kill us over here.  They have already done it, and I don't want to see it done again.  Kerry has already made it clear that he would wait for the U.S. to be attacked before he would commit troops.  I think he is wrong on this, and if he is elected, will simply cause more U.S. civilians to become targets here at home, for no reason other than to avoid risking the lives of our military.  I see a lot of politics in this position, but not a lot of sense.

A large part of the problem in Iraq just now is identifying just who "they" (the enemy) are since they don't wear uniforms and don't fight in a traditional military fashion.  This makes for a policing problem which I feel we are dealing with quite well.  We may not decisively "win" this fight in Iraq.  Not in the sense you mean it.  That does not mean we should not fight there.

If Kerry thinks he can accomplish national security and world peace by polishing up stories about his service in Nam and by rallying a bunch of pink-tinged actors, midnless idiots, and French faggots around him, then he is a sad example of American politics.  Bush may not be perfect.  Being human, he has made mistakes and probably will again.  He has domestic policies that, as a federal employee, I don't care for.  But on his record so far in protecting freedom in this country and around the world, I can't find much to complain about.  I am now way too old to be joining the military, but for perhaps the first time in my life, we have a president I would fight for.

I don't really care a bit just what either candidate's military service record is based on.  I "avoided" service during the war in Viet Nam by attending college, which I would have done war or no war.  More young men in America in the 60's and early 70's did not serve in the military and did not serve in Viet Nam than ever went over there to fight, and yet this fact does not reflect badly on those who did not serve.  It does not matter what Bush or Kerry did 40 years ago any more than it matters what I did 40 years ago.  What matters is what each of these men would do today and tomorrow if elected as president.  All I can say is God help us all if Kerry is elected.

As much as I cant stand having to moderate BULLSHIT posts, I think it would be cool if a guy could fawk up once and a while and not get torn a new a-hole. People email and pm me all the time asking if its safe to post here, and most never do. Often times (not in this case) they have very little Internet experience, and dont have a clue about posting. Especially on a forum that can be "touchy" at times.

Flaming people, especially ones that are new/have low post counts, is going to lead to lots of deleted posts. I dont care about little joking around posts between Badco, and Frosty, cause they both understand that everyones joking (thats an example folks, other guys can joke around too). But flaming new members is uncalled for.

Everyone here can clean this place up on their own, or the moderators will do it for you. From what I have seen, some of the elite members are the worst. Just cause you paid to upgrade your account, doesnt give you the right to act like a jerk.

We dont care about cussing, just keep it within reason.
No flaming, ESPECIALLY in the specialty forums
Posting Trail locations is frowned upon, dont do it
Spamming is not allowed. Posts of this nature will be ruthlessly deleted. Pimping is only ok out of the vendor forum if someone asks first.

Just a bit testy aren't we...especially when asking for assistance...this is Alaska...When you live in the North ya gotta be tough.

Buck up young cowboy, calm down and respect those who may end up providing your friend some assistance.

And try to have a plan.  Last summer I needed help when I went on Purches with just my vehicle.  I didn't push the Jeep at all beyond it's limits and it got me safely back to the main road just fine, where I then shortly had phantom ignition problems (I actually ran out of gas).  Crazy5 knew where I was, what was going on, and he seriously bailed me out.  I had a good idea about what I thought I needed and didn't ask him to come crying to the board for me.  In reality I misdiagnosed my problem (the injectors still misted fuel, just not enough to start the engine) and I didn't actually need Crazy5's help since I always carry extra fuel.

I've needed help in the past, and I'll need it again in the future.  I like helping others, and right now I work as a public servant.  If I was in Anchorage I might even consider helping tonight myself.  

But if I needed help I wouldn't post it in the Technical Discussion, Local Trail Information, or Trail Run Report forums.  I might consider putting it in the Trip Planning forum, but probably not in an emergency situation.

i didnt know we had a winch thanks al, ill slap that on after i get the trany fixed haha. it just went out today.slipping in and out of gear while driving and dies when you put it in reverse and most the time in gear so im not sure whats going on. tottal up till now is 1,975 for the pull and about 200 in repairs so far.

Hey Junstin, That sounds like its doing the same exact thing that mine was. When I pulled the dip stick it didn't smell burnt or anything. Fred did the same thing and he said it didn't smell or look bad either. Well Fred pulled the trany yesterday and dropped the pan the smell was horrible and seriously burnt / color was black. No metal chip just normal flakes from normal wear and tear. Fred is sending my trany out today to B&B transmition. I have a feeling that my problem might be due to when Pat put in my shift kit in 5 months ago. There was no water contamination to my trany and I had no problems prior. B&B is charging somewhere in the neighborhood of $1700-1900 for a total rebuild including low stall converter and a shift kit ect...', 1, 0, 5943, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL), (76634, '98-1031626171', 1, 1, '24.237.148.26', 1089422963, 0, 'Ready Welder recommends using a piece of chain hooked to the work, and clamping your work clamp to the chain. Move the clamp up or down the chain to adjust the resistance. More resistance means more heat. So...

You might need to try adjusting your voltage by using a 12 volt and a 6 volt battery.

Also, try increasing your stickout to increase the arc resistance. This works best with flux core, but you can slide the cup out a little to ensure you get good gas coverage.

Also, you can try stitch welding. From your instruction book...
Quote
Use of the “Stitch” mode of welding should allow you to successfully weld thin sheet
metal at a 24 volt power level without melt through problems. By producing a series of small, cooler beads, rather than
a continuous bead, the stitch mode process prevents the bead area from getting hot enough to melt the surrounding
metal. To use this process, turn the RWII’s wire feed speed control knob to the “off” position and then slowly advance it
until the electrode wire just starts to feed slowly out of the contact tip. Release the trigger and cut off the excess wire
which has been fed out. Aim the RWII at the thin metal you wish to weld and pull the trigger while allowing for the
maximum acceptable amount of wire “stick-out”. Keep the RWII’s trigger pulled during the entire stitch mode welding
process. When the feed wire makes contact and creates a small bead the feed wire will momentarily melt back to the
point that the arc is broken. The feed wire will feed out to the point that another bead is started where the previous bead
ended. Repeat this process of connecting small, sequential beads until the job is complete. By using the maximum wire
“stick-out” you can reduce the likelihood of wire “burn-back” clogging the contact tip.

Why should I have to go back and fix it, I typed what I wanted to say when I posted it, it was perfectly fine before.

Now I noticed that my whole thread is gone, what the hell was the point of deleting my whole damn thead?  I took the time to write that and post pics in it and let everyone know about my pistol incase they spot it up there and now it's all gone because someone wants to be a jackass, that's messed up and it really pisses me off \':38:\'

Make sure there's alittle RTV squirting out all the way around.  I'm not sure what the torque specs are on the diff bolts, but I know it's more than what you could get with an allen.

Yep which is why I'm replacing the allen bolts with real bolts tommarow..

I'd like to replace that thin ass cover with a nice thick one as well. But I can't afford the nice ones and I know I'll get threatened with bodly harm if I get one of those cool clear gearz ones.. I'd really like one that has the pictures in them, but hold cow they are spendy.

I know... A lot of it is bull crap. And needs to be stopped. I for one do not like seeing people get flamed. Like the rules states... This is not POR! If you want to try and flame people go over there and post. But, I would bet you money the people flaming over here would get tore a new one if they went over there and tried to post. So they think it is cool if they flame "newbies" over here...
