Speaking of triple D......
Baylee turns 17 tomorrow, we took her out tonight to Samples in Longmont, Co. for her birthday. Always a great meal at that place.

Got the honda stuck in townhome parking lot in snow drift first thing this morning on way to gym. Came home and bought couple storage items for shop at an online local auction that was ending. Took Baylee’s tj to shop, didn’t get stuck but realized she needed new wipers so bought them and installed them for her. Now working on taxes again

Today was a tough day. Had my 15 year old behind the wheel for only the second time.

There is your problem. How did she get to 15 and this is only the second time behind the wheel?

I still want to come out and hit that hill.
If you do hit me up, I'll run it with you. And if you want some great places to eat hit Nate up for one of them as the last place he sent me to after I ate their meal I couldn't eat for two days I was so full.....

I agree with what you are saying Shawn. I was just saying if Don is fixing the Burb up for long term use, I think recovering the seats or using what is there would work better than a seat cover that moves around all the time.
I understand, think he was planning to darken up the interior. Probably a good idea that stain they use on mulch can ruin a light colored interior and well we know about Don and mulch beds....

Bob, wife’s 4Runner & my trucks etc I don’t use seat covers. However, jeeps, early broncos and truck too old to have a working ac unit get covers. They get dirty, you pull them and wash them then reinstall. More about being able to clean the interior on vehicles that need it.

I’ve never had a seat cover that would stay where I put them. Coworker of mine has a set of neoprene covers in his Jeep and and says they stay better than most and are holding up well.

Personally I would like deeper sides, larger tires and an independent axle setup versus the ground dragging regular tube axle. Then add a lockable lid, my 2 cents or 4 needed upgrades.....
Edit: and add some tube angled out to those fenders from front and rear so it doesn’t get those fenders hooked on every obstacle you drag it by. Never know where this little tug might go!

That looks like SD before he painted it!!
I would not go with a trailer. You want to travel, not just camp. There will be 3 of you right? 1 in the back, 2 up top keep it simple and light. Easier to drive, better mileage and no backing issues.
If it becomes a camping vehicle, go with a trailer. Haul it out, drop it and you still have rig to run and a base camp.
Funny thing is I saw a 1011 on CL out here setup like that. Soft top with those camping bunk-beds and still plenty of room for a chair and fans.
Sounds like Jr is saying the boss can’t handle a little trailer backing

Trailers don’t leak oil, lots of travel capacity added. I like the base camp idea also. Trailer for the win!!

This fall the plan is to build one for behind our 4Runner for a glacier trip next summer 2020 prior to Baylee heading to college in the fall. May add kayak mounts on it too.

Why not get a small trailer and mount it to that? Pull that and be able to not have to break camp and still use the suburban? Modify that one single axle military trailer you have with a real off road independent suspension (it’s simple, shoot me a message if you need info) and have the best of everything. You could even easily make that trailer have a top and be lockable.

Just looked it up, not an interference motor. Already got the timing belt kit a week ago so GTG.

I know the frustration there. Looks like the timing belt went on her camry. Now she want to drive my el camino as I fix it.
JR, did it take out some valves or not a concern on that motor?

So yesterday afternoon Baylee calls. Oil pressure gauge dropped to zero & she shut it off (literally in the middle of road at local king sooper, yes they were busy on sat afternoon). Only about 3/4 mile up road from our townhome rental. So I drove up, checked oil (full) and then got in Jeep and started it up. No tick and guage ever so slightly raised up on ignition. I drove it back to townhome and still no tick. Ran to local Napa and grabbed replacement oil sensor for just shy of $20 right before church. This morning ran over to shop and grabbed tools I thought would work, they did not. On the 4 cyl tj motor just remove outer air filter housing and the sensor is located right below in crotch of passenger side motor mount. Then ran to sears and bought a combo box end wrench in 24 / 26 mm, 26mm fits the sensor cost me $22 for wrench. Ran back to townhome and it was too long. So off to shop I went again, cut wrench in half roughly and back to swap out the sensor. Once wrench was cut down to a shorty size you can easily swap out sensor from above. Then realized Baylee took Jeep key to work this morning with her....  Anyhow it is now fixed and is showing good pressure. Greatful I live in a country where A) I have access to funds to fix our vehicles and B) tools to purchase and capability to modify on a Sunday morning no less.

JR, must be a day for daughters vehicles to take a crap....
Baylee’s Xj shows little to no oil pressure. She shut it down right away and called me. Has oil, no tick when running and guage moves ever so slightly when you start it up. Drove it home the whole 3/4 of a mile and went to Napa bought a new sending unit. Then we had to go to church so I’ll grab tools in am from shop and swap it out. Fingers crossed...

Biggest issue is not cutting them, many recovery points were built for a steel D-ring which doesn’t care about sharp edges of steel. From my understanding the connection of the soft shackle (where it hooks to itself) should be centered between the two pick points on a side. Placing the soft shackle connection (where it hooks to itself) can allow it to come loose. The ones I have used were hard to hook the noose over the knot, it was very tight so not sure how it could come undone honestly, maybe while using in conjunction with a jerk em strap not sure? They claim these are better than a d-ring as the d-ring on the end of a rubber band essentially is not a good thing. I personally rig the d-ring attached to a solid point so that isn’t an issue...

You sayin' you have some experience with that platform Nate? Next thing you know you'll be sayin crazy stuff like Bobby can take them apart blindfolded, next to Dave #2, Matt, and a few other guys on here.
Hmmm, I do have a screen shot of a text from Nate and he claimed some chic kicked his butt. I’m getting concerned as I think we’re starting to see a trend from him! Early on set dimentia potentially?

« on: March 04, 2019, 10:05:09 PM »
Careful on the soft shackles guys, make sure you know how to hook them up properly. They work well when used correctly, I’ve wheeled with guys who had no actual pick points (saving weight) but would hook these up off of tube bumpers or rock sliders etc. mainly Toyota rigs for the record has been my experience (you know the motors that when wound up sound like my wr450).....

You will!
I want to introduce Chris to his future wife and Parents in law!
Just kiddin' but who knows...
So, yea, here's the deal with anyone we visit. Give us some work to do. We are willing to do anything anyone needs. We want to serve as many as we can. so Shawn, get the pre-rangers to clean up the shop, and I'll paint something or haul some old oil or something. Later on we'll eat something together and tell stories...
Lol, trying to tie down two Teegardin women will be difficult enough.... Now, eating and telling stories with some good Colorado whiskey should be easy enough though!

I’m six weeks into it on no carb or sugar, down about 15# so far. I do get a cheat meal every two weeks but honestly don’t really divert much usually just some bread and taters. In my 20’s I did this just as a way to stay healthy (didn’t need to lose weight per say) and was a gym rat so it helped in that regards too. On another note, didn’t realize your fav color was pink....

Tools are always cool. Does it bolt up like it should and checked runout?
I laid it on the end of the lathe and went back to welding and machining parts until I had to get boxes over the USPS late today. Hoping to level up the lathe (yeah haven’t done that since I moved it) and toss this on to check it out next week.
