I did a mod this weekend. I had a Taurus fan from a local sale. I bought a fan control from the internet and installed the combo this weekend. Quite a simple mod and yet I can tell that it made a difference! Of course, I also had to make a new switch box and redo the electrical in the cab...

I'll be coming from Denver on Thursday. So the afternoon is better for me. Moab is 6 - 6 1/2 hours from here. I am looking forward to it this year!

What time and where will we meet?

Hmmm... Why, How, What, Where I Run... And I was just out for a trail ride!

What time and where?

I finished the Georgetown to Idaho Springs half-marathon in 2:26:00. It was a lot of fun, though I did get some charlie horses in my last 2 miles. I don't think I was hydrated enough... Umm... Err... I didn't finish last either! (Darn close, though). I did beat my time on the course from...

You sure picked some of top notch trails in the area. Everything you did was very scenic, too! Great choices. Next time you're about, let me know! I want to go!

OK... I am in week 9 of 18 training weeks for the Chicago Marathon. The marathon will be held on October 12th. It is just 2 months away! My long runs are at 15 miles. I am running 1 @ 7 mile run per week and the other 4 days have 4 mile runs. I run the long runs at a 12 minute pace (I just...

Redcone Pass is a fun trail that goes above timberline and has some thrilling, heart pounding downhill steep action. The Mighty YJ was the trail leader on this trip. It was the only rig that had done the trail before. The group is airing down tires and getting ready to make the run. 5 rigs...

This is a difficult trail! The Mighty YJ is a built-up, heavily modified Jeep. It is lifted, has 33” tires, and has ARB locking differentials front and rear. The trail challenged the jeep, the driver and the passenger. It is a hands-on trail! For a more detailed report, you can research...

I put a Ford 8.8 on my 93 WY. A lot beefier and disc brakes. Being a hobbyist/modifier/wrench turner, I did most of the mods myself. Handy with a welder?

We tried a new trail on Sunday Morning. It is Illinois Gulch and is located in Douglas County, Colorado. This was a birthday run. Every year Jim invites fellow Jeepers to run a trail in celebration of his birthday. This year it was Illinois Gulch. We met in Denver and headed south toward...

Happy birthday everyone. I get the senior discount at a lot of places. If only I wasn't allergic to hair dye! The weird thing is that I don't even qualify for it...

Budgeting is important, but I have to go back-country. I have to cut back, but I am going when I can. Check the Events areas for some of the trail rides. 2 so far this season and another this coming weekend. Big trip for me this year? I am running the Chicago marathon in October! I have...

This is a front Range Trail (near Spring Creek). We were hoping that the snow would be off of the trail. For the most part, it was. We met at the Dumont/Downieville Burger King. 13 rigs went on this trail ride. We rode Red Elephant Hill and the Mill Creek loop. Yep! The Mighty YJ was...

I pay tomorrow....

We made the first attempt to straighten the frame today. We parked a Ford Econoline E-150 van behind the YJ with a chain wrapped around the frame on the YJ driver's side in back. We put a Ford Ranger in front and placed a cumalong from the trailer hitch to the front passenger side YJ frame...

The Mighty YJ – About to take on Spring Creek (aka Family Fun). It is the bare start of the trail season in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. A lot of people and rigs met up (through a local bulletin board) to do a run opening the Spring Creek Trail. Spring Creek is a trail with a...
