Also don’t be a moron like I was and burn a hole in your TAD gear fleece doing something like this.
Weekend Camping
Posted in adventure on Apr 16th, 2012 5 Comments »
Well, the weather was certainly cooperating this weekend, doubly so since I look outside right now and it’s raining. JG and I headed up to Beckler. One of the things I wanted to do is see if I could get into this other set of roads that looks like it’s west on the other side [...]
Snow Run

Headed up HWY2 to the Beckler Rd area to do a little “winch training” for Victoria, who wanted to improve her skills. I had left a MagPul magazine up there the weekend before so I figured why not go back and see if it was still there. Unfortunately someone had come and chainsawed up the [...]
Jeep Tech

So JG took a pass at getting his TJ going but no love. Looks like it’ll have to be towed out to the shop; his old alarm finally broke by “going off” and he can’t figure out how to disarm it. This set off the immobilizer. Sucks. From what I hear they did a real [...]
Upon The JK

I started the morning thinking that I wanted a CJ. Why not? Metal dash, narrow and short, perfect for the tight mountain trails around here. Simple to repair. Cheap parts, although that is changing. Looking at the examples that were out there though made me reconsider pretty quickly. Given the age the CJ fleet is [...]
We went camping in June.

Backcountry Cooking Competition Location

We will be having the cooking competition at the same location we did in 2007. There are two campsites near Skykomish, WA, off Beckler Road at 47°47’26.27″N 121°17’55.10″W. I will be arriving early to secure one of these locations. If you run out of pavement on Beckler Rd. you have gone too far.
Love The Jeep
Posted in adventure on May 2nd, 2010 No Comments »
I’ve been riding the S2R since I got it a couple months ago every day, rain or shine, but today it was time to love the Jeep. Finally picked up an air compressor this weekend (I have to stop moving and giving away/selling my compressors), and ran the pitman jesus bolt on. On a metric [...]
TJ Steering Gear
Posted in adventure on Apr 17th, 2010 No Comments »
Replaced the steering gear in the TJ (finally) after the new one has been sitting around in the shop since I got it. The job was fairly straightforward, about equally as complicated as doing it on a discovery, but dealing with the steering coupler was a little more work because there’s less access in the [...]
Jeep Teardrop

Steve gave me a tip that a friend of his has put together a very cool teardrop trailer, and look at what’s towing it, a TJ. I like the way he put it together, nearly all scratchbuilt, and it seems wider than I am used to seeing. You can checkout the photos.
