harper7 said:
Just got back from my 2 week,2680 mile round trip road trip back to Pa. to see family for the 4th and chill at my sisters lake house. Truck ran like a top on the trip and has over 60k miles now.

Washed it,changed transfer case fluid(which was still almost clear btw) and power steering fluid today and packing for the Summit now. Leaving tomorrow morning with a stay in Albuquerque and be up in Ouray around 3 or 4pm Sunday. Bringing my 2 daughters,14 and 16 , and my 16 yr olds friend along with my Dobe again. Looking forward to seeing old friends again and meeting some new ones! See you all there!

I rented a Condo in Moab that sleeps 8 on the 21st-24th if anybody is interested in heading over there for a few days after the Summit. My daughter has to be back by the 26th so it cut a few days off the Moab trip.

Gary you were in PA and you did not tell us about it. Next time you are in our neck of woods please stop by, i would like to meet an inspiration person on this forum in person.

So how long did it take from D.C. to Moab? I'm driving from Fla to Ouray in August. Glad to see others are making similar treks!!

Thanks!

I did 2 ~1,000 miles days, from DC to Columbia Missouri and then from there to Parachute, CO. From there it was a quick 2.5 hour jaunt to Moab.
 
The discussion is to do Black Bear Tuesday AM to be in Telluride for the 1 PM meet for Imogene. It's such a loose plan that we don't have a time. I'm parked at 2nd and Main (up the hill from main hotel) and I guess about 8:30. Or 9. Whenever we're ready?

:faint:
 
Can someone give me damn horseshoe or rabbits foot or something? Murphy's law and I are attached at the hip. Anyways, I'll be back on the road in 1-2 hours and am still having a blast and not letting this hiccup keep me from having fun.

Basically what we've determined is that the TC shock tower gussets I am running don't have appropriate clearance with the PS pump. Even with the bigass gussets, the shock towers still flex quite a bit on big hits and were causing the gusset to deflect about 1/2" into the union bolt on the PS pump, which apparently the pump does not like.

Right now I'm grinding/cutting a bunch of clearance into the gusset so this issue never recurs. Total Chaos will be attending the Summit so I plan on showing them the issue. The only other guy I know running these is Socaltrail; not sure if he's experienced the same issue or did his own clearance work.
