Good idea. When one of my kids is feeling ill, I always just stick their head out the window and roll the window up onto their little neck so they can't come back inside and ralph on my leather seats. Not too tight of course - wouldn't wanna choke the little darling.

They let you spawn?

A small trash can has a special spot in the back between the girls. It's kinda funny how routine the airplane/car puking has become ... when daughter #1 starts getting sick daugher #2 says something along the lines of, "Go ahead and puke, you'll feel better."

So she does and she does and we continue down the trail, once again happily talking about the cool sites and smells.

Yeah, well, just make sure I can see your hands at all times.

They are a kick. Way, way more in tune than their old man ever was at that age.

<span class="ev_code_RED">K. You made me look that up. Were non-xanthochroid students required to wear pale merkins?</span>

And now returning BACK TO TOPIC...............



Here are a couple of important things to remember when on The Road.

1. Make sure you start out the trail with a penny in your pocket - one for each occupant of your vehicle. This is important. Don't forget.

2. After breaking camp Sunday morning and before heading back out on The Road (or after returning from the horrifying experience of the Bun Boy Motel), be sure you have placed one rock in your rig for each occupant. They can be any size - from a golf ball to a boulder. This is also important.

Dontchya wanna know why?

CB came yesterday! I bailed on my original antenna idea and stopped and bought a 2' firestick while I was in Sacramento this a.m. Looking forward to installing all of it this weekend.

Tie rods ordered. Hopefully they get here in time to be installed and have alignment done. Then I can bring the old for spares incase we lose one....or two.

Sean, I hear ya about looking forward to this with alot of crap going on in life. I'm in the same boat, I really really need this trip. Thanks again for the invite. Only two weeks!

I just did that project a few weeks ago. Lots of good antenna tips in this thread. If you need any help along the way, lemme know.

How embarrassing. I still had chrome and little tires ...

I've been thinking about painting the shields to match. Watcha think? Any suggestions on primer, prep or paint?

Repair? or Replacement?

Nope. From what my buddy tells me it's very simple...a "cake walk" were his exact words. He even said a tie rod fork was unnecessary and that he'd show me "a little trick to replacing them". I plan to do it myself with him instructing me. I'll be ready for it if it happens.

BTW - Rod, did you say you had a air filler unit? Any idea what the PSI output is? If it's within range I'll bring air wrenches to make any repairs even easier. I'll also bring a torque wrench. geeez, I need to make a list.

Here's what the manufacturer says (although they also offer performance specs of typical CFM at 90 p.s.i. for various tools.)

Because of high outlet pressure tool damage is possible and extended tool use is not recommended. Most air tools are not rated to accept 150 p.s.i. DO NOT USE with tools that are NOT rated for a maximum pressure of 150 p.s.i.

The tires are allright. The chrome sucked out loud. Outstanding job on extending the shields! As far as painting them to match, um, well, um, why not paint that gawdawful pewter thing to match the shields?

****!!! now I gotta throw the compressor on the rack! Anybody bringin a generator? LMAO!

BTW - I've never changed the tie rods on the H2, but I did break a tie rod on my old JEEP!!! LOL Changed that in the field, no problem. I'm sure we could manage - and I have some printed instructions from BLUEHUMMER where I bought the "Tie-Rod Repair Tool Kit."

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
There will be no broken rigs on this trip. Thank you. That is all.

A. Black is not a color. It is the absence of color.

B. Black is evil. Pewter is light. Therefore black is for leftists, pewter for right.
