Not really today but last week I had an awesome week up near Cooke City Montana and just outside of YellowStone Park. Here are some pictures for you guys: (I posted it in the montana roster but no one views that haha)
Goose Lake Jeep Trail-
The Morrison Jeep Trail:
Kersey Lake Trail
Sawtooth Lake Trail/FanTan Lake Trail
We did a bunch of other ones too- (Lake Abundance/Crows Point Mine/Crazy Lake Trail/ Daisy Pass/Lulu Pass/Bantam Jeep Road but I dont have much for pictures of those. It was a good time. Had wolves in camp once... saw some bears/foxes/buffalo/moose/elk at a distance. Weather was perfect. Lost my alternator on the Bantam Jeep Road (Very few pictures). It is just about 5 miles of constant mud holes... racing through it killed the poor guy. had to drive back to Laurel to get another one. Also had to replace a thermostat. Other than that and a few scratches, I made it through unscathed. Some of those spots are pretty rugged up there. I highly recommend checking it out. I have a few more pictures in my garage album.

Ianf406 Thanks for sharing your pics, looks like you had lots of fun and the area is as beautiful as it gets.
A/C problems
Just disassembled my a/c, hose from comp to condenser took a crap, try to find one of them for a '90, next to impossible, had to order one for a '92, hopefully it'll fit will know in the morning. Leared you can't use heat on the fittings, aluminum on steel, bad combo. When I put the new one's on, I'll use thread lube.
Had a lot of inquirers about it but no green stuff yet. Oh well!!

^^ ask around at hydraulic shops and any mom-n-pop auto houses if they have a crimper. The fittings and cables are common, so you can usually get one made easier than ordering a replacement.

Oh yeah, the Accel coil that I installed in '08 went kaput today. It had been struggling above 3k RPM for a while but I thought it might be fuel pump (which I've also been working on). Today it started backfiring and dying at stop lights, and fuel pressure was good, so knew it was the coil. Swapped in a spare in my emergency parts bag and working like a champ now.

Make sure you replace your accumulator/dryer too. Should be the last thing you break the seal on and connect when closing the system up.
Yep, did that. Found, well NAPA man told me about it, a local place that fixed me up. By the way, a hose assy from a '91-'92 wont work one bend is off, screws up the fitment

Replaced the horns with two from a Cadillac, I think A and F tones. Much more noticeable than the little Jeep horns

No. Too expensive for me. Just ordered new stock springs to go with an SOA kit. I wasn't gonna say it because the haters but I just got an RC kit. I've never had a problem with them. I got the 6.5" one.
