Oh Russ. I have yer name on my list. Ya better bring yer bullet proof underware to the meet next year.

Sarge, if you kin reach him, slap him TWICE!

I SAID it was for "reference", you morons.

A coupla things on there I never would have thot of (spare glasses and ignition key), so it's good to look thru it.

Jeeze!

Ok, here's a VERY complete check list of things to take wheeling. I copied this from the July issue of "4X4 Builder" magazine. This guy tried to think of everything, so it's a LONG list. Use it for reference. 1. Prescription Medicine 2. Extra prescription glasses 3. Water 4. Fuel 5. Waterp...

Yeah, I need jets for the stock carbs on Wilson and Sancho and jets for the Weber on Mouser. EeeeK!!!!!

Thanks for reminding me.

Darrick, where are you? I need sum jets!

Behemoth??? It ain't that freakin big. Well, mebbe. I got no prob with dry camping, done it lots. I think the rig has 100 gal (or is it 70?) fresh water tank and approptiately sized waste tanks so no prob there. This is an unknown camper to us. We picked it up in Pheonix, Az. last year and only used...

I have no problem with any of the above. I'm flexible.

Holy cow!

I just got the calculator out and 39 horsepower out of Wilson iz a 62% increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I GOT to make one of these!

This looks do-able. The configuration I'm imagining is: 1. Header: A 3/8" header plate with the 1 5/8 tubes coming down at an angle, smoothly converging into one 1 5/8 pipe. 2. First div. cone: incorporate a 90 deg bend into this to point towards the rear. 3. The rest is as described. Notes and...

I'll have to dig that stuff out at home.

Uhhhhh, do ya need a bigger shovel? I'm kinda interested in this. I got sum pieces of stainless pipe and I'm setting my TIG welder back up this month.

Gimme sum more info, Steve.

Great story!

It takes forever to go away and it makes yer passengers bitch.

Cool, that takes care of that little worry.

Next question, KDKG, is this permit good for a year, month, or what?

Makes adifference when I apply for it.

Thanks

Thanks.

Here's wot I found on a quick search: 1. Venicles registered in any state are OK. 2. Vehicles not registered in yer home state are OK on county roads and OHV trails if ya buy a $15 OHV permit. http://www.co.blm.gov/gjra/ohvregistration.htm It looks like all I gotta do is buy a permit for Mouser from...

Kansas has nothing like a "conditional title". Ya gotta have a valid, signed and notarized title to the vehicle AND a signed and notarized bill of sale with the purchase price. All I've got for Mouser is a signed title that is dated 1986. Kansas iz gonna take one look at that and say "...

Yes, tintops are of course exempt from the rollbar requirement. (Removeable hardtops are not though) And all vehicles must be street legal, which includes seatbelts for each passenger! Yer gonna haffa define "street legal" for me. Two of mine don't have license plates and aren't titled, a...

Oh, and Steve: you looked into reservations yet?

Works for me, with the exception of Sancho. He's a tintop, so he oughta be ok without one. That said, we're still gonna try to get one in there before the meet, because there'll be 2 small kids riding in back (with GOOD seatbelts). Now, I still gotta come up with a parking brake rig for Mouser!!! I ...

Ya might wanna get some airbags for your LJ before hitching up the trailer! Actually, smuz is gonna have a 5th wheel...that'd make a great pic! Oooh, camera comin out tonight. There'll be plenty of handicapped trails there...most of us call them "paved streets". That'll be interesting, we...

I think they do, but I actually haven't looked for sure. Smuz, you've got both rigs, don't you? To the best of my knowledge, they do. Shane's '89 Sidekick are the same as my '87 Sammi and I've got another set from an '87 Sammi to replace the auto hubs on my '96 X90. Since those all interchange, I c...

Smuz & Russ: Got total numbers for you, but was wondering if any were minor children. Just want to plan accordingly! Please let me know!

3 minor children

(they THINK they're pretty major, tho)

Cool! That's NICE to know.

I've just been rooting thru a bucket until I find sumpin that works.

A very interesting discussion on disk brakes has been split from here and placed in "Projects-->Disk brakes for LJ's".

It's been my experience, from repairing an LJ80 with LJ10 parts, that all of the front axle parts, from the birfields out, are interchangeable (if not identicle) between LJ10's and LJ80's. I'm assuming that LJ20's and LJ50's will be too. This gives a bit more options to repairing earlier LJ's where ...
