  1. Halloween weekend will be my b-day and wifey gave me an early present. 

    2019 Maverick Sport 1000R. Needs a roof, whip and a radio to annoy Heather pulling into camp at 3:00am after spending hours driving around lost and sometimes pulling into the wrong camp.

    If I accidentally pull into your camp, please go easy. I don't mean any harm, just get confused easily.  

     

    THANKS JOANNE!

    Of course she had to take care of herself too. 

    2019 X-3...

  2. Just in time for Halloween, my truck blew a rear tire on I-15 and the rear got TORE UP!

    It will be in the body shop.

    That means no toy hauler.

    So we are bringing the tent trailer hauled by the Jeep. A borrowed trailer will bring the quads.

    We'll be travelling light. Real light.

     

    This was an expensive 60 mile tow.

    Note the bent rear bumper and quarter panel.

  3. Pull all the fuses on the 12 volt fuse block. Replace battery fuse. Put one fuse at a time back in the fuse block.

    When the battery fuse blows, the fuse you just out in the 12 volt fuse block is the circuit with the short.

  4. "Just raising the boiling point" is pretty important.

    Many of those race trucks (and cars) are also running 30 psi + in their cooling systems. (To raise the boiling point)

    Nascar runs up to 60psi and sometimes water temps hit 265F. It's not 265 that melts motors, it's the internal boiling and cavitation that stops exchanging heat.

    If I was having cooling issues, I would increase cooling capacity. Maybe a more powerful fan, bigger radiator, higher flow water pump.

  5. I'm going to the meeting along with others I called last night.

    We all have busy lives, but at some point please leave a comment if you can't make the meeting. Cutoff for comments Jan 7th 2015

    I'm going to suggest plan one as dunefreak (Pete) recommends. I like things as they are. (I don't like change)

    As he also suggests, flipping out on them will not be constructive.

    I'm going to tell them I regularly enjoy drives through the desert as a family activity and some of us are not well enough to walk.

    As soon as land is not accessible to motorized vehicles, older people and those with disabilities are no longer able to enjoy the land. To me that discriminates against all except the most healthy among us.

  6. There is a meeting tomorrow (Thursday) eve at the Bob Rudd center in Pahrump about this.

    I don't know exactly what they plan to close, but they do plan on closing our land. This is our land, not theirs.

    It looks like tomorrow is the last scheduled public presentation about this. 3pm to 7pm open house format.

    Public comment will close Jan 7th.

    This plan encompasses southern Nevada.
