Cleghorn Snow Trip - February 2011


DSCF2028.JPG

A great snow run to Cleghorn. Had a little rain while towing, and it was snowing a little while we unloaded the Jeeps. Lots of new snow and snow falling while wheeling, and very cold, about 20 degrees up at the top at 5300 feet. Bill's distributor failed on the way back, and Jeff had to tow him with a strap for about 8 miles back to the trailers.

Dan and Bill took a day trip to Big Bear to run John Bull backwards and forwards. Geoff rode along, since his Jeep is still under repair, and he spotted and drove Bill's Scrambler too! It was a nice outing! Bill was the photographer, so there are no pictures of him and the Scrambler with the exception of one screen shot from video...

Calico - March 2010


P1020095.jpg

A fun trip that ended with the most carnage ever and the most difficult extraction we've ever done... Attempting Gatekeeper, the major carnage obstacle, Geoff broke his rear pinion which froze up the rear end, then broke both front axle shafts trying to drag himself out. Then the steering broke. Ended up pulling the carrier out of the rear axle and removing the broken pinion and putting it all back together. Then winched and towed him, with no steering, to the trailer. Took a short cut and got accosted by a ranger... Why are you here? Why are you here? Didn't get home until 1 am...

A quick trip for Geoff and Jeff. But, no pictures or video... Just a placeholder album to remember the trip....

Tight!14 viewsWe had to cut the firewall to clear the engine. The '60 ran the engine a lot farther forward than the '87. The engine actually sits about 8-10 inches farther back, and intrudes on the interior. Also, the tall truck injection manifold required a large hole in the firewall. Geoff
