I have been following your adventure the last few months. Looks like you are having a blast. The CJ grill on the YJ is nice as well. My wife has a CJ7 we take wheeling as well.

Yesterday I got the truck all loaded up for a 4 day trip to the Lone Pine area. Then my daughter got sick.... Now I have a fully loaded truck ready to go sitting in the driveway. Hopefully she gets better soon and we can hit the road in a few days. 20170408_195508 by Matthew Dresselhaus, on...

Took the dirt road from Gateway CO to Moab UT. Got hit with a snow/rain storm along the way. The bast part is my wife and I had all our bags in the back for our 5 day stay in Moab with no tarp to cover them. We laughed about it the entire time. I am still cleaning that mud off the truck 22...

Like above 1975 and older don't smog at all for gas. Smog tests are every two years for cars over I think 4 years old. There are a few zip codes in CA that only smog on by and sell. My parents live in one of the them in southern CA. Honestly if your vehicle is running right it should pass...

I am in. I am ready to explore some new areas. See you there in two weeks Mike. :grinning:

Food warmer from a few posts up was a success. I put two hotdogs wrapped in foil in it. About 45 minutes in the box and the were perfect to eat. At the time I was doing a lot of downhill coasting so I wasn't generated a bunch of heat. I am sure in warmer weather and when the engine is...

My daughter will be 6 in 2 weeks. Sense she was three we have taken a clear bucket with a lid (maybe 3/4 gallon) and let her fill it with what ever she wants. It gets filled with sticks, rocks, pine cones, dirt etc. She can only collect what fits in the bucket. We used to dump it out as we...

I added a " food warmer" to the engine. About 2 1/2" above the exhaust manifold. Going on a day trip Monday and will see how well it works then. 20170317_134441 by Matthew Dresselhaus, on Flickr 20170317_141856 by Matthew Dresselhaus, on Flickr 20170317_141846 by Matthew Dresselhaus, on Flickr

Love seeing explorers out being used.

I do to. Especially when they have a modern fuel injected motor so they stay running. The old carbed 4.2 was so warn when we pulled it you could grab the fan belt and turn the motor over by hand with the plugs in it. Had to put a new air filter in it every 200 miles because of the blow by.
