I'll be using topo maps and will have a google map of the area saved to my phone. Been studying the area on google earth for a couple weeks now. How's the trail from Brooklyn Mine Rd to OK Mine? I've been debating whether to go that route or stick to Old Dale and stop by Gold Crown (among others).

Damn! You're hitting a lot of what I'm planning. I've got family in town I'm taking with and we're leaving kids with grandparents so I won't be able to make it. I'm heading out this Friday night and then exploring on Saturday. Still unsure whether we'll go North or South, but we may cross paths...

Anyone driven Old Dale Road?

Been to KOH a few times, but on the support side of things. Not sure if I'll be going this year yet. It's definitely a good time. I always stay in hammertown and yeah it gets very dusty especially if there is no breeze. The three main spectator areas (outside of the start/finish line) are...

I removed one of the 12V sockets at the rear of the center console and hardwired USB ports. Very simple to do and only took an hour. They get used often and beats the heck of carrying around an extra piece.

Got it. Thanks for the info. I saw that area you mentioned as well using satellite view. No real agenda, I just need to satisfy a curiosity itch. Have you taken 1n09 all the way to 330? There looks to be a variety of forks along the way.

Anyone familiar with Slide Lake Campground in SBNF? Or that area in general as it looks like there are a few areas for primitive camping. I'm planning to head up for a quick trip this Saturday.

Any luck? I went with friend above Isabella this past weekend who was after doves, but he didn't have any luck. The only ones we came across were too close to buildings. We saw plenty of quail... too bad they're not in season.

I have a cheapo HF timing light over here in the slums of wildomar if you need. LMK.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've seen that much water coming through the canyon!

I would have some choice words for the engineer. I do not understand how the tube and the piece at the rear of the engine can be removed with the engine in the car. Access is extremely limited and any work has to be done by feel. It seems like I'm missing something but who knows.

A local parts house has access to it and it should be coming in today. It's the same connector used for the injectors, only a different color. I thought about fixing it but I didn't feel like futzing around with the old connector since I don't trust my ability to make the old one work.

Been busting my knuckles to get to this point. The tubing is a PITA to remove, so I just moved it out of the way to provide just enough clearance: The chewed up wire to the knock sensor: The carnage:

Awesome. Thank you! I had to stop last night because I wasn't thinking clearly. Back at it again today.

Came across this which has been helpful: http://fjcruiser-club.com/docs/RM/Cooling.pdf I still need to remove the tubes that run through the valley. If possible I'd like to not have to remove components at the rear of the engine. The front housing is off but not completely removed. So many...
