Merry Christmas and happy new years, my trucks tipm pooped itself and took my fuel pump out with it while i was visiting family in texas. Sounded like it almost blew out my radio, sent rogue voltage or something to the fuel pump so it sounded like nails in a blender. Couple days before that right outside of baton rouge the fan ground switch went out and wouldn't start the engine fan in grid lock traffic and the engine almost over heated. Also condensor fan conked out so no AC while sitting still. The pump we put in had a bad arm for fuel level so we've since replaced the pump AGAIN but now the pin in the connector for the fuel gauge has pulled out so no fuel gauge reading. Got a new pig tail and gonna trouble shoot the wiring tomorrow. Doing ball joints and hubs this weekend hopefully since i was getting bad wobble and knocking from the driver side.

Third pump installed, gas gauge finally works. I know, i know, "did you even troubleshoot the gauge?" Dude i went up and down that hole circuit and everything checked out good. Good voltage, grounds, and resistance, everything was good. So alot of dodge forums kept saying its the delphie pumps they always do this, just swap it again. And it finally fixed it and now it reads. But i did put a back up pick up in the tank so if it goes out again i can hit a back up fuel pump and fuel in through the fuel pressure test port so i can get home.

Thanks. Because of my former job I don’t do any social media aside from LI, so I guess there’s no way to stay connected with them. Appreciate the info.

Monday would be fine with us (wife and 2 kis ages 8 and 5, and a dog). Any ideas on good places to go or a long stretch maybe camping in 2 different places. We haven't been able to go anywhere here yet.

This seems like an interesting Trail. It's 130 miles so could easily be broken into 2 or 3 days.

I looks doable for my nearly stock 4Runner. The weather looks like it will be interesting as well.

I would be in, but driving my Jeep to South Carolina to leave with SOS for a week for my new bumper and double swing out...will be without my baby for a whole week.

So I modified it slightly. Looking at camping at the north end of Peter's Mill Run Saturday night, doing a short hike sunday morning to a nearby watch tower. Sunday during the day Peter's mill run and some national forrest roads. Another short hike at the end of it before crossing towns into more forrest. Camp sunday night somewhere. Do the rest of the trail monday and head back that evening.
