Happy birthday Ryan @4x4tographer! Hope it's a good one.

Happy birthday @theksmith!

Great write up, thanks for sharing Diane. Nice job on that recovery @Number7 !

I agree. There are 2 red Jeeps in a row in the same spot. It looks like @gearhead is in both. Behind me in this years and the Jeep in last years. Pretty awesome!

Thanks for the backstory on that. Side note...Every time I research or discuss GMRS I cannot help but think of "NotaRubicon Productions" on YouTube. That dude is funny and lets the HAM operators he thinks are full of themselves have it.

Great pics! I finally got a chance to watch your video's. That's some great camera work holding it steady as possible, I am impressed. I am not sure we would have been able to pull that off considering the bouncing around(hitting my head a few times too) we were doing. I'm going to use what I learned and re-evaluate my approach and lines on future runs.

Thanks again @4x4tographer for putting this all run together. Spending the day wheeling and seeing the area with some good folks is never a bad thing. The "Beast of Briarwood" was also out roaring along. I would agree with the trail rating and say it was on the HIGH side of moderate in a few spots.(For me anyways) The trail was definitely very,very bouncy for some long runs but still a blast to run. All the bouncing around, and my headache today, has got me thinking about shocks, but that is for another thread. Some of it could be me picking sh#&&y lines so there's that. Here are some of the ones Stephanie took. Sunrise at the meetup spot. Mini Hell's Gate. The white in the rock looked like a cow or a horse to us. A helpful sign. A weird and random stack of rocks. Chillin' in the ruins.

Made it home. Thanks @4x4tographer for putting this run together. It was good to see everyone.

Thanks for the updates Ryan. I have been wanting to check out Buckhorn Springs and this area in general since I did not make the last run out that way. This works perfect and these are some good changes. I could be interested in the overnight option in the spring. See ya Saturday.

We'll take the last boxes of Samoas. Pay you Saturday.

The more I use it the more I like it. It works great for what I need it for and have not been let down yet.

That is pretty cool, thanks Ryan.

Thanks. The damage is far and wide out there. I did notice things are starting to regrow though. There are patches of green scattered around the burnt landscape.

Thanks for posting @Russ Chung. Depending on cost, trail difficulties and any need for extra fuel I could be interested. I have never been up that way so it's time to research. Maybe if a few of us go we can caravan up?

My wife and I have a friend in town for the weekend that wanted to hit a trail. I decided to take them on an easy run to Four Peaks. It's an easy trail and I've been wanting to check it out for a while. Nothing to terribly exciting to report back other than it's open, in good condition and wasn't too busy. We ran across FR 143 with no side detours. Only saw a couple other rigs out there(One Jeep and a Yota), an Audi SUV that seemed to be in a hurry, some bicyclists and a minivan at the roundabout. Here are some pics. Great View of Lake Roosevelt Time to air up with my helper.

I see you found my cousin wandering the desert.

Spanning Tree Protocol

Kris has the parts I need. He found his old air intake parts which fit my Jeep so I'm taking them off his hands. Easy peasy as they say.

I found what I needed for this repair. Big thanks to @theksmith for helping me out and thanks to everyone who responded with thoughts and ideas.

I noted that and love planning ahead, I am weird like that.

Awesome. She says you're welcome!

The ones I have found are not for my year. I am just gonna let it ride until I have extra $$ for a new housing or I find the clips.

Sorry, that's for the complete box. I haven't had any luck finding just clips yet. I've read that they're not sold separately. I'm still hunting around and will check dealership for clips as a last resort.

In my looking around they are about $100 or so. If I can find a used one for less that would be good. I am in no hurry, it appears to be sealed up tight and not causing issues yet.
