PADRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE RUN In case anyone is interested - there is a multi club group heading for Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) on April 22-24. Doesn't mater what you drive or your experience level. We'll most likely be camping at the end of the island so you will need to bring...

Extended braided steel brake lines front and rear. 7" longer than stock in the rear. about 4" longer up front. Had to replace one of the hard lines from the lower end of the flexible hose, to the caliper on the passenger's side. The old one was seized up and stripped the head even using the...

The License for using the Citizens Band (CB) is attached to the Radio. CB Radios require FCC Type Acceptance (which means anything without an FCC Part-95 Sub Part D license is not legal to operate on the 11M Citizens Band.) There are actually quite a few rules and regulations. Most of which...

I figured out how to get my CV shaft out without buying a $70 inner CV slide hammer. Swung the axle shaft like a pendulum and it pulled it right out.

Tore Apart the front end after a day of wheeling on a CV with a torn boot. Broke a Wheel Stud :( Deleted the Sway Bar :) Smashed my finger :( Failed to remove the CV :( Also, I'm not sure what's going on.... When I went to hidden falls, my steering wheel was aligned...

Not quite the same thing, but I went to replace the forks on my Kawasaki a little over a year ago. And when I went to pull the front caliper (Brakes also needed to be replaced up front.) I found the previous owner had installed a super fancy set of high Security Round Head Bolts..... I...

New Shoes.... And new Mud Flaps

@Mrs. Lars and I are planning on attending. One night of camping along the river IIRC?

Mud Flaps, that fit with 285/70/17s These are the RokBlokz for Oversized Tires. And a better shot of the new wheels/tires (Pre MudFlaps)

Final Post for tonight in this thread....

Here's 7 days of APRS data. Total trip was about 4200 miles. Cedar Creek, TX ---> Pewaukee, WI Pewaukee, WI ---> Indianapolis, IN Indianapolis, IN ---> Roswell, NM Roswell, NM ---> Cedar Creek, TX

While we were at White Sands, Keith (Driving Wall-E) and I both tried to activate the White Sands National Monument for the ARRL's National Parks On The Air. Which is an event going on all year to get hams to go to National Parks, and other areas to make contacts at the site. In the first...

The trip was great overall. I'm working on getting all the photos my wife took pulled together :) You'll just have to come down to the Lone Star Toyota jamboree in Gilmer, TX in May.... https://www.lonestartoyotajamboree.com/

My Daughter is THRILLED to be putting the states from this trip on the map... Can't you tell? All colored states are from this single trip. Austin, TX --> Pewaukee, WI Pewaukee, WI --> Indianapolis, IN Indianapolis, IN --> Roswell, MN

Thursday's Route, as captured by APRS iGateways. My Transmitter beacons every 2-5 minutes depending on speed, or when my heading changes by more than 14 degrees. However fine resolution of the path taken also requires a receiver be able to hear my transmission.

We went to the visitors center, but didn't climb down into the cave (6 year old would have required me to carry her out.) The drive up 7 was beautiful, and we stopped several times to take photos. We really enjoyed the Living Desert. Thank you so much for the suggestion! The Alien Patch came...

The Breakfast Taco, and Wall-E at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. And Upgrading my Patch Collection.

I'll be sure to share that with the crew tonight. We're in Roswell now. Two long days of driving to get here from Indianapolis, IN. Thanks for the heads up on the elevator.

That looks great! Hopefully you can escape. I don't believe we have anything official planned for Saturday. Wednesday is getting to Roswell. Thursday is supposed to be the White Sands trip. Friday Keith wants to head down to Carlsbad I think. Saturday is empty. And Sunday we're heading...
