    Report RME Trip to Colorado; 21 Road and Billings Canyon

    Looks like you had a great time! Great to see this information on the trails. My parents moved to Fruita a couple years ago and I've been wanting to go wheel down there since. One of these days I'll have to drive my Jeep while the family takes a different vehicle so I can actually do it!

    4.0L Jeep with harness

    I'm interested in the AX-15. What time will you be in SLC? I'll be out of town until fairly late in the day I think, but I should be able to arrange for someone to meet you.

    Automatic or manual tranny for off-roading?

    Best answer I've seen. LMAO I've wheeled and daily driven both autos and manuals. I HATE driving autos every day. Driving an auto puts me to sleep, literally. For somewhat technical crawling, there's no question that an automatic is far easier to drive. You can put all of your focus on...

    Questions on Converting Street Legal Dune Buggy into Crawler

    If your crawler chassis doesn't pass safety because of lift laws then I don't see how a new body is going to help. If it's legal, and all the lights, wipers, and other required safety items still work on the buggy body, I don't see why it wouldn't pass. On thing to keep in mind...I doubt that...

    Boy Scouts Forest Lake Trip Aug 20

    How many seats do you have so far? I can be there if you need me with 1 shoulder belt, 3 lap belts, and plenty of space in the back and the roof rack for packs.

    Boy Scouts Forest Lake Trip Aug 20

    So if I understand correctly... Meet at Dutchman's Flat at 6pm Friday, eat dinner, drive scouts up Forest Lake Trail, drop them off at the lake where they camp for the night. Drive home. They hike out the next morning? I could do that. I've got some clunking in the front end of the Jeep...

    Stolen '94 Accord downtown

    A friend's '94ish Honda Accord was stolen from the 5th South and South Temple area downtown last night between 5:30 and 8:30. His laptop, cellphone, etc were all in the car. Recovery of any of these items would be great. It's just a normal, gold 4 door Accord. License plate number 1415N or...

    Renix TPS question

    You don't want to swap the harness or the sensor? My harness is the same as the auto one. My harness has the 4 prong connector just sitting there not connected to anything, while the 3 prong is plugged in. On the '89 w/ an auto that I used to own, the sensor had leads to plug into both the 3...

    Renix TPS question

    My '88 XJ likes to idle high. Usually it idles fine on start up but as it warms up it starts to idle around 1500 rpms or so, sometimes even higher, especially if I've been higher in the RPM range. My understanding is that this is most likely the throttle position sensor, but could also be the...

    XJ charging system question

    The belt tension is good. My first thought was alternator because of exactly what you said. It happened after playing in the mud and water...I just want to make sure that's right. I don't mind spending money to fix it, but I don't want to chase the problem with $400 in parts on a Jeep worth...

    XJ charging system question

    I should mention that the alternator has been replaced since I bought the Jeep. I don't remember when exactly, but I've only put 50,000 miles on it. I'd guess it was about 3 years and 20-30K ago...

    XJ charging system question

    First off, this is on an '88 XJ with the 4.0 and 226K on the odometer. My problem is that it won't hold constant voltage. I splashed through a couple very small puddles (to tell you how small, I was in 2WD) out in the desert a couple weeks ago and since then my charging system has confused the...

    Pretty cool

    As a diehard Top Gear fan of 3 years or something now...I can honestly say I think it's part of a happy life. :D There isn't a better show on TV anywhere, and I don't even think it's possible to make a better show about cars (though they could have more 4x4's in Top Gear).

    Tacoma tire ?'s

    After doing a little research, the 265/75/R16's that you mention seem to be a good size to go w/. If the specs they give are to be believed, they're about an inch taller than the 265/70's. So unless anyone has a better suggestion, we'll assume that's the size we want. The BFG A/T's would be a...

    Tacoma tire ?'s

    Alright...my parent's '05 Tacoma needs new tires and my dad has asked me to make some suggestions. He wants something that'll be good (if not great) in the snow and ice (it's my mom's DD), and work well off-road. Something like a gnarly AT or a street friendly MT. He's also thinking about...

    It's nice when Blond stereotypes come true.

    Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. How does she remember to breathe if she's that dumb?
