Classics go to Moab?

[KidVermicious]

Diff breather failed during transit. Pressure blew 3rd member seal. Having to crack fill bolt to release pressure and check oil every fuel stop. Stopping North of Albuquerque for the night and driving into Moab tomorrow. Oh we'll it's not fun without some adversity right?

Did you pack gasket maker? I can bring some down with me.

Good luck Randy... I'm due to leave in 2 hrs going down for a power nap! Then rolling out just got to pack my food in the Runner

This morning I finished getting the shocks installed, changed out the CV with the ripped boot, and had the Dr tell me it's not strep, yay! I don't feel too badly, I'm just very hoarse, so when I'm off work in the morning I'll toss my crap in the truck and probably be in Moab tomorrow evening.

A suggestion.
Rip the cap off the breather, put a piece of hose (usually fuel line) over the remainder of the breather (hose clamp on that would be nice). On the other end of the hose (a couple of feet long) slip/clamp an inline fuel filter on (the filter will keep dirt out). Tape or zip tie the loose end up somewhere safe. It's not a perfect extension but it will cure your problem. Unless you are doing Kane Creek, you shouldn't have any water issues.

Also poke a wire or small screwdriver into what's left of the breather to clean it out.

I'm mostly packed, but I'm also mostly exhausted, I haven't slept yet. I think I'm going to chill for the evening and head down early tomorrow morning.

Helo, I'll text you when I leave SLC, and I'll be in Moab about 4 hours after that. If you're already out and about then I'll amuse myself and see you all at camp tomorrow night!

Sitting at Moab Brewery with one Dead Horse down my gut. Mario ill give you a call this evening and see where you are.

Text sounds good Kevin. Give me a call when you get in. Well stay close and come meet you.

Thanks for the offer SV. Figure Ill just have to baby it and maybe tackle out here in the parking lot. it would have been a haul back the other way. Thanks for the ideas too on the breather tube. Gonna take a look tonight.

If you think you're going to need another read diff (hopefully you didn't hurt the one you had) let me know. I have a spare 4.10 rear diff that I can give to FoG and have him bring it up for you.

 

[helo-mech]

Thanks SV. If he has room for it better to have it just in case. I'll of course pay you fit it if I get to that point.

All check in at the campground.

Met up with Paul at the brewery, 3rd gen, locked, 33s, sliders, ARB front and rear bumpers, warn winch looking for a camping spot and some trails. He decided to join up with us for the week.

 

[SV_Dude]

If you need it, just take it. The only thing I ask is that you let FoG bring your bad one back. I don't need it for the gears, just a spare core.

I'm leaving at 4am on Thursday. I should be there by 2pm at the latest. SVD is dropping off the diff tonight.

Fins and Things by 3pm?

[KidVermicious]

Am I bringing enough cameras?

 

[SV_Dude]

haha... who uses tape recorders anymore?

It's cool, I don't even have a video camera

 

[KidVermicious]

Yeah, it's old. Hard to replace it while it still works, though, those things are expensive.

Paul, Al and I hit the Trail Head for Hell's Revenge and tackled Baby Lion's Back before dark. Did a little u-turn and headed over to check out Potato Salad Hill.

 

[Gerdo]

I've been there many times but you guys still suck.

 

[KidVermicious]

Schweet!
