There are peeps which do prefer to lay under the car and repair stuff and others which do prefer to travel :p

    Need to adjust the angle of the front diff to the driveshaft coming from the transfer box to avoid a lot of future problems. Rear looks really cool and the middle section. Its not hard to reweld the entire front drivetrain to reattach it at the right angle for such high jacked front. But its critical and it would still work better that way even if lowered to a normal suspension specifications

    The Flaming Gorge area is beautiful area. Ashley National Forest has tons of free spots to camp. I’ve actually been to the survey marker to the Wyoming, Colorado, Utah state boundaries. I have overheated many times around the Flaming Gorge area. Nothing wrong with Alice In Chains. If Winchester likes it then by all means listen to it. The horse flies are bad where we’re at in Montana at the moment. We’ll be heading south down to Fort Bridger, Wyoming by Labor Day weekend. Enjoyed the video. Safest of travels to ya!

    Great video, respect. 80 years. On the 80th Anniversary of D-Day Humanity once more is under threat, when eighty years ago a Western front was opened up at Normandy to get another foot in Europe’s door, then hunt down fascists who for years ruled France’s roost, inflicting death and terror on the folk across an entire continent. It loosed a beast that smashed the occupier’s yoke. Five D-Day beaches ran with Allied blood, as bullets, mines and mortars took their toll. No gun emplacements stemmed the potent flood of liberation, fought for, heart and soul. Let’s celebrate the freedoms which that day bestowed on us, and keep them, come what may. By Paul Freeman.
