Thinking around 730-8. but depends on how things roll in the AM lol. I will be bringing a Toyota so chandler wont be alone LOL

Gorillaxj

Nope. Sounds like heat soak though, the fuel rail gets to hot and the fuel boils. once it cools everything goes to normal.

Mine will do that but never that bad, it will just stumble on restart for a few seconds, then clear out. Hood vents/cowl hood/spacers some time soon if I can pick one haha

well then instead of heading to the parking lot cruise up to camp, breakfast should be done by 8-830

Few times when it won't star I've sprayed some starting fluid and it fires right up but only when I really need to go if not I wait until it starts but I'm tired of waiting around... I'm not a big fan of hood vents.... But I might just have too if it keeps doing that..

Just another 1/2 mile past 5 mile? is it buy the bottom of Jacob city rd?

jmaxj

yes and no.

just pass the snakes parking area until you see the sign that says sunshine canyon, then turn right up that dirt rd, you should be able to see the motorhome from the hwy. if you don't then we're up a bit higher in the trees.

so maybe 1/4-1/2 mile from the snakes but not close to jacob city either

roughly here where the green arrow is where we'll be.

Gorillaxj

OK, we should be able to come harass you!

Hey Tristen - there is an XJ making it up your metal masher ledge at 0:45. It is linked in the rear, a little stretched, and on 38s or so....but still

jmaxj

thats funny, 2 yrs ago that XJ was on leafs and couldn't make it. guess he got revenge, so there is 1 XJ to make it ha ha

wheeled with them guys in colorado a few times, the president of that club is good friends with a buddy of mine so he showed us around there a bit.

Gorillaxj
