Also don’t be a moron like I was and burn a hole in your TAD gear fleece doing something like this.

This story – the story of the worst weekend I’ve had in recent memory – really starts on Saturday morning. I go into the Jeep dealer and purchase a new slave cylinder. In the process I also go to pick up the bushings for the TJ, only to learn they are charging a fortune for [...]

So this was very exciting. I got word this week that my new rear bumper + load carrier was in at the 4wd shop in Lynnwood, so this morning I went and got the Jeep and headed out there. I left the shop looking at all my imported machines and actually thought “at least I [...]

I thought to head out to the Naches area after hearing that NF-7080 is open and clear. I wanted to see if I could get over from NF-70, even though there are reports that NF-70 is closed at Pyramid due to a wash-out, I’d be coming over from the west side. Unfortunately, I got stopped [...]

These clever ads, which I presume run internationally (have not seen them here in the US) were done by the firm of Leo Burnett Caracas in Venezuela. I like the Hi-Lift jack – what’s your favorite?
Superwinch Sorted
Posted in adventure on Apr 11th, 2012 No Comments »
The problem was with the remote pins not making good contact, sorted enough by spacing the spins a little and probably (moreso) adding some di-electric grease. Probably a good idea anyways because the way the socket is on the winch, it can trap a little water. Now it becomes a game to see if Superwinch [...]

Beautiful day in the Seattle area today, hope everyone was able to take advantage of it. I know a lot of people were – I saw a ton of bikes out today. I even got a ride in, after the following mess; This morning I decided to head out to Beckler (since it looked sort [...]
