Now your in my world of work I've seen these old steel pipes do this before. One reason why everything is done in concrete now. I'm not surprised at the speed of which they are moving. With your down time at the dealer, they don't want to get into a down time issue probably. It's amazing what...

Well I guess I'll be there Thursday nite also if theres enough of you there for a Friday run. I don't necessarily want to spend alot of time cooking this time if you guys don't mind, but I could bring the big stove if someone else wants to cook or I can bring the big pot and make chili the easy...

Another source of info Ray Pili who also frequents this forum and is on the member list I belive, runs a 383 in his XJ. You may want to get feedback from him. GRNT

EVERYONE knows that Jenni is the force to be reconned with in that family. She a big ticket in that petit body. Congrats, I wish I could have joined you this year. Maybe next. Missed you on Dusey-Ershim last weekend. Are you going to be in Moab this year?? Mil

Crunch, I have done all the trails you are asking about several times. Black Bear is not as difficult or as scary and if she is concerned on the switchbacks she can always get out of the vehicle and walk until the vehicle is straight again but the trip is by far one of the most scenic to be had...

Get the front lifted and then worry about the rest. Your driveline angle is to much and the yokes where probably hitting. Very common. Thats why its important to do the complete lift before you take it out anywhere. Be patient and get the entire lift on and then start asking questions on whats...

I think this is an excellent idea for the NEW so cal Chapter to get involved with and give it some credibility in the San Bernardino Forest management circle. My opinion is that the most exposure is the best trail to adopt. When I mean exposure I mean to the general public. We don't need to...

No words can describe the pain Sean blessed all of us and it is evident here on this thread. Your pain and healing is in the trustful hands of God. Look up and he will comfort you. Christy and I have your sorrow in our hearts and will pray to help soften it for all of us. Mil & Christy Thornton

If you live near these areas and would like to get together for a beer or whatever, Let me know by emailing...

Jes, Can you find out what the building was used for. It looks like a steamer that drove a belt to the Elec to create elec for the building. You see alot of that type of config in the old mining camps in Colo. Calif. and Nevada. I do like the other theories on what it is. Finding out what the...

duties of officers It will be up to the new BOD elected to determine those responsiblilites. Guidelines are on the NAXJA site under bylaws for chapters which include duties of the various offices now and I would assume that the new Board would adopt those in order to start moving forward and...
