Dusty & Steffie's 4k mile trip pics thread got me to thinking about posting some pics from my and our various trips, something that I don't tend to mention or talk about much. These are pics that my wife Denise took, only a very few are mine. I'll try to keep them interesting and inspiring, I...

Fantastic pictures! There's just so much of the US to see, and so little time to see it.

Oh yes! That's a really neat drive, I like that area a lot. For a while I debated trying to buy that cinder-block building and surrounding property that's North of the highway and *just* on the Nevada side of the line up there. It's too dilapidated to consider it now, but then it would have made...

Where was this last pic taken?

To me the power point connection itself is a warning. Those circuits are fused for 15 amps max, and it wouldn't surprise me if the vehicle's wiring isn't designed for a sustained 15A draw.

Pretty!!!!!

I carry a fair number of Milwaukee M12 & M18 cordless tools in the Blanc-oh because I use it to support desert racing. Cordless tools are worthless w/o a charged battery so I started looking for a method to keep them charged in the vehicle and found this...

Welcome from a fellow Upper SoCa'er, Ventura myself.

With the pending H-B conversion I ordered the Saginaw PS pump be rebuilt with a remote reservoir body on it. I plan to return the box and the H-B to the remote res individually. I've long thought that such a reservoir would benefit from having the usual de-aeration methods used in dry sump oil...

What is the name of the shop quoting you $600 for the carb? I know that there is at least one shop more or less down your way that specializes in off-road racing carbs and if it is they who are quoting you $600 I'd jump on that.

I'd take either Sherman or Walker Pass to get to 395 if starting from Porterville or anywhere further South of there. Sherman being the more "rustic" of those options. Too bad CA168 doesn't go all of the way thru as originally planned.....

I don't know how much you know about Rochester Quadra-Jets, but for off-road use their primary advantage is that they have a small footprint, centrally located fuel bowl. No matter how you tilt the carb it is hard to uncover the jets in the fuel bowl. For street use their primary venturis are...

Some many years ago I was down in Trukhaven Hills for New Years sitting around a campfire with a buncha jeep drivers. One of them had gotten his half-cab CJ7 on the cover of 4WD & Sport Utility (called it "HalfBreed" if you care) and someone asked him if it was done now that it had made a...

IT moved! Under it's own power even. Just not in time to make it to BBBB. Unfortunately. Still badly needs an alignment before its safe to drive very far.

BUMP

What I did was download the program from the radio. I then modified it in CHiRP and gave it a new name. Then I up loaded it back into the radio. Mine seemed to need to have the program down loaded before it could accept an up load. Can always listen on the Weatherman freq., but if you perform...

That loop is on old maps as the "Doran Scenic Loop." It used to be paved all the way around. I don't think that the current AAA County map lists it, but earlier versions did. That is why there is the pavement 'shelf' in the slot obstacle near the top of Odessa Canyon and fragments of it...

It's almost all back together. Waiting on a replacement reservoir mount. The shocks each came with one and they were carefully removed from the boxes and stashed in the same place, but one is AWOL and that is stopping me from finishing things up and trying to drive it with the vacuum booster. I...

It took me a bit to realize that the radio kit linked above has a battery with a direct charging jack, and that is where the supplied USB cord plugs into. It fits nowhere else. It took programming from CHiRP just fine, and it also allowed the TX mod on the first try. I think that I'll use it in...
