@cynicalrider how'd that trip go?

 

Not bad, we discovered what looks like a very fun ledge via the new entrance. I also tried to learn some new ways in. We did the large loop you took us on originally, but it took SOOO much time. The "easy way" up to the jeep overlook and that actually ended up being really sketchy because all the rock faces were covered in 1/8" thick ice. Overall was a good time, need to go back again soon.

Took some trash out too.

awesome, looks like fun. The trash there is insane in some places, nice to see you took some out. I was curious if pat was gonna try the back side of the hill you entered on, the super steep one, apparently the locals call it "suicide hill" but I guess the ice made everything worse.

 

We considered going down it but the hill was covered in a sheet of ice. Pat said he would maybe try to go up towards the end of the day when shit melts but we ran out of time. I think it's doable dry though. Being up there the hill doesn't look crazy but when you get to the bottom it's kinda fucking nuts. @Rockbaron1 thinks he snapped a drive shaft on it back in the day right man?

 

wtf? 4 circuit fuse box? My bed has a bigger fuse box than that!


I’ve been looking at 4runners lately. Nicole’s outback required an emergency stop for coolant on the way to Hunter mountain a couple of weeks ago. It sprays coolant every now and then.. even after having the head gaskets replaced.. now I’m starting to think we shouldn’t trust it for long drives anymore.

I’m really hoping to find a 2006/2007 1 owner land cruiser.. but that’s like finding a unicorn..

 

Where's the coolant spraying out of? Is the reservoir overflowing?

 

I've found piles of tires, a swingset, and a large doe wrapped in a tarp.

 

lol, was still fresh??

 

That's debatable. There was definitely a musk that made we question how important it was to check it out.

 

yea, from the bottom it looks insane lol personally wouldn't attempt but pat

 

I did a trip once to Maine towing my sisters bedroom set to NH. Only way to load it was in the rear of the trailer sandwiching the dresser mirror to keep from breaking. It was like hitting the highway with a parachute on. You def got better mpgs than me that trip..

I don’t follow football. My family has season tickets so I go to have a good time. Did have a giants jersey on by default but my wife’s a big eagles fan being from West Jersey so she was pumped.

 

I don’t plan on doing much electrical to the wife’s truck so 4 fuse panel is plenty. I was actually just trying to locally source a 10awg in-line fuse. I went to Auto Zone, Advanced, and even Pep Boys.. Guy at pep boys said let’s check the audio section, on the way walking he said “they took out everything ya need and left everything ya don’t” I laughed and said yea I’m not looking for chrome flame decals. Well audio section had one option of a 4awg inline fuse so I ended up at West Marine over paying for a mini blue sea.

If you looking for unicorns @avw4x4 can prob help

 

Anyone around Morris County/Hunterdon County want to give me a hand with a needle bearing job? I can pay in beers

 

I don't know why, but I felt compelled to ask myself out loud, "What's a needle bearing job?" To which I responded with:



I would help you out, but I'm a ways down in South Jersey...

 

Guessing ecgs bushing install.

 

I know. I just read it in such a way that I reminded myself of that scene from Beerfest.

 

correct.

pressure builds up in the radiator, pushes coolant into the overflow tank, eventually it overflows, eventually the red temp light comes on on the dash and we check under the hood and see that the coolant overflowed again.

I wish the outback had a temp gauge so we’d have a better idea of when it was happening. Seems like a 2 hour drive is enough for it to happen.
