Even the official rally is about to go down.
.....It is still funny when I talk to new jeep owners and they complain how unreliable they are and how expensive they are too fix. I just smile...
damn. Really?
I can't swing a 110 now, but when i get one, it will probably have a 4bt in it.
fify
Damn, you made it look like I didn't capitalize "i".
I'm not a fan of diesel rattle. I am a fan of being able to cruise at 80mph.
It un-capitalized all my letters too. Odd. The beauty of the 4BT/6BT is that they're all mechanical, and you can tune them by turning screws, sliding the fuel plate around, etc. Definitely noisy as all hell, though.
Get a jeep.I want something that just....works. Without having to massage it or fingerfuck it or beg it to pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top work. I already have a wife.
How's that bad?What's going on with the rally?
We used to get close to 200 trucks. I am trying to find out how many are in Leadville, CO this week, but I heard unconfirmed less than 50.
Bill... makes me wonder.I just passed 150,000 miles and completed my spreadsheet of the complete history of my 2004 D2 ownership. Want to make sure I'm keeping up with services on transmission, transfer case, differentials, etc.
I think nearly everything under the hood is new....including the engine.
How's that bad?
OTOH, between the scarcity of lodging in Leadville and distances to drive to most trailheads, it is fair.
I was only looking forward to Holy Cross when I was considering the trip.
Breck was somewhat better location for this event. Buena Vista could have been a good location, too.
Don't take it as my bitching - I am fine with driving an hour and a half - two hours to the trailhead. But imagine instead that you were camping near Taylor reservoir - and every trail going in every direction would be yours within fifteen minutes, with almost every level of difficulty covered.This is at least the 3rd time in Leadville, had close to 200 the last time it was there. For that few people there is plenty of lodging in Leadville, and some will camp as well. Copper Mtn is not far away and has excess lodging all summer while the ski hill is closed. The trails most want to do are a fair drive, that is true, it's not Moab either. Buena Vista is cool, Montrose and Ouray too. The club charter was always to move around the state of CO every other year to hit more trail options.
This thiiissss THIIISSSSSS.Those FB pages are a joke! I couldn't take it all the stupid questions and when you give them the answer, they get butt hurt because its not what they wanted to hear.
I guess that's the problem with these trucks costing $500.. All the cheap fucks are coming out of the woodwork.
Most of those people dont have thick enough skin to last on DWEB.
Bill... makes me wonder.
Water pump - replaced around 200kmi, give or take.
Radiator - recored at about 250kmi.
Heads - replaced around 250kmi, along with rod bearings.
Cam, lifters, chain, sprockets, and oil pump - replaced around 275kmi.
I may have gone through a couple of ignition lead sets.
GM p/s pump replaced the clusterfuck that was ZF steering setup, after three or four pumps.
Everything else under the hood is original.
