We were joking about the rover being fine. You're probably gonna blow a head gasket and get raped by a grizzly.
Alaska and back????

More like blow a grizzly and raped by a head gasket, considering he goes to the dealership.
I just went to the dealership bc the first place I called in KC said they couldn't do it. 2nd place said they send them to the dealer for alignments. So I didn' feel like fucking around with it. I'm liking the Disco more and more. I hope it stays running well. I'm enjoying myself and it would be a downer. So far so good.
No, man, that's great. It was more a comment about dealerships and less about you.
atriot:I just hope you don't run into any grizzlies. Devildog knows what grizzly ween tastes like. Better check with him. :ack:
You should just go Dutch Rudder to avoid any possible gay implications. Make sure the "bear" trims his nails first, though.
I am tempted to google "dutch rudder".
Edit: Done. It wasn't as funny as I had hoped. Nothing like the laugh I had after googling "Cincinnati Bowtie".

Find a car with an open sunroof . Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper .
Then I guess if you brought your girl and had a little blumkin action going on it would be good cover for the Chicago sunroof .
Mechanics are paid by the job, so don't expect anything for free. That's probably .2 hours they charged you to replace that bolt. You have to figure the mechanic is going to spend that time looking around the shop for a bolt to put in there.
Exactly right . Some guy charged you for 12 minutes for looking for and installing a bolt . "Stay late to make 8" that's the name of the game for us sometimes . It's the dealership and the system that made it a $29 transaction . And we dont know what harness was hanging down and what may have happend to it . That guy and his 12 min. could be the best money you spent .
Day 3:
Long day. I left Badlands at 6:15am. Made it all the way to Whitefish, Mt. Shut it down at 3am. Yeah that is a long day. Lots of rain and construction. I ended up taking 90 to Missoula instead going up through Glacier. I spent a good bit of time at a hardware store getting some plywood cut so I can cover each of my Sunroof's. It rained one night and need the back one open at night. On the front one the little screen/shade clips are broken and it gets pretty sunny in here mid day. As a result I'm having to relocate my tools on the roof. I plan on stopping around 6pm today to work on the roof project. I have my screw gun and drill bits. A can of black paint for each so they won't warp so bad.
About to cross into Canada.

Well I made it to Fairbanks today. I haven't had a connection in a while to update some pics. Once I got into Canada I lost service. The connection at the hotel I'm at can't handle uploading pics. Ya'll will just have to wait.
It has been interesting. "M" and "S" Limp mode struck me. Glad I bought the scanner. I've had to reset it like 8 times. Only gave me a code one time. I have it written down in the truck. Something like P0757. Drove it in 3rd gear for a couple 100k. At one point before I got to Dawson Creek I actually turned around to head back to Calgary. I changed my mind after 20mins and said fuck it. I'll drive it in 3rd gear at 50mph all the way if I have to. LOL They stayed off all the next day. Today they came back twice. Both times when stopping for gas I put in reverse and bam...they came on. I just clear it and keep on trucking. I'm heading to Denali tomorrow. Hopefully when I get to Anchorage in a few days I will find a good connection to show ya'll some pics.
I have a spare CPS, but I'm not convinced that is the problem. Could be XYZ, which I don't have. So as long as I can clear it and keep going, I'll deal with it when I get home. Any suggestions.
First shower today since Tues night!!!! After nothing but MRE's, I had a steak tonight. Feel like a new man.

They completely searched my vehicle at the Canadian Border crossing. Took them 45 mins to take everything out and go through it. So remember that if you think you can sneak it across. I also stopped and vacuumed out and wiped down the inside of the truck before I went across. I was still nervous the previous owner might have hidden a kilo somewhere in there. I did buy it from Houston. They even took apart that cheap ass cover under the passenger dash. Said it looked "home made". Agent even made a comment that he thought Land Rovers "where nicer than that" on the interior. LOL
