This works for me Jill.

So far all I can come up with is,

Vicki and I are unable to attend at the sterns residence, I am wondering if a delivery of pork can be sent to Cresent City Califorina. Thanks!

Larissa and I plan on leaving Friday around 3 p.m. and staying in Lincoln Nebraska that night. Then we will be going to Estes Park Sat to meet up with two friends that retired out that way. Staying the night Sat at KOA Campground. Should be in Ouray the next day about 4 p.m. ! Spencer, are you stay...

I have a Hobart Ironman 230. It comes with casters/wheels, and a platform on the back to hold the Argon/CO2 tank.

I got it on sale at Farm and Fleet a year ago, I 100% happy with it. There is also room to set my Lincoln Pro-mig 140 on top of it.

You guys may want to meet at the station on the west side. The BP station is closed and for sale. That is if anyone needs ice, coffee, or a donut

Whoops, I missed that.

A little fuel could be poured down the throttle body.

Feed and return fuel line hooked up wrong. Maybe put a length of garden hose in the tank fill, the other end to your ear. Turn the key to run, listen for the fuel pump to run. Connect 12 volts positive directly to the pump connection, at the tank, listen at the fill spot. Loosen the fuel line at the...

I wonder if any of the neighbors complain about the noise

I'm curious, since you haven't been off road, how do you feel about scratches in the paint on your bran new Jeep?

Everything else goes in this container, if anything is left over, it goes in the center consul, or glove box.

Recovery gear in this bag. Hand tools go in another bag just like it.

The snatch strap is usually under the seat.

I also have a hi-lift farm jack, and a collapsible 4-way lug nut wrench. Extra valve stem cores and caps, a 4' long section of chain with hooks on both ends, a couple of ratchet straps, can of WD-40, also a quart of engine oil, quart of tranny/power steering fluid. A spare alternator/water pump/powe...

Google the difference between a recovery (snatch strap) strap and a tree saver. I've bought my recovery straps at Tractor Supply, ( 20,000 pounds) Both of my different lenght tree savers came from C&H supply in peoria. Fire extinguisher can be bought anywhere, they have to meet a mininum require...

Bill will arrive on Thursday mid afternoon, and leave Sunday morning.

I would prefer not going to the roadhouse

Count me in for 1 person, ME!

I will be going, vicki isn't going.

Yep, I think I used it twice in 25k miles. The bummer is that I wouldn't have had to take it apart twice if I'd known how it was supposed to work.

In the last couple of days I've rebuilt the rear brakes on my '05 Rubicon, including the parking brake. I installed pads and rotors, and shoes with a new hardware kit for the "P" brake. Upon completion the "P" brake wouldn't work, all parts were in the correct location. After sta...

I'm glad it went well, that motor is a Siemens PM 103 in case any one else wonders.

Thank you to all the members who put together the annual January Jeep party.

All the food was great, so thanks to all for that!

Vicki and Bill
