Any open seats?

[Cr33p3r]

Well I turned the Jeep back in and sold the bronco so I am without a 4x4 at this time and looking to see if anyone has an open seat for a upcoming trail ride? I haven't been out for over two years and need to get out soon for one last run before moving to Arkansas.

There'll always be a seat!

When's the move to Arkansas / When's the "last day for a trail ride" for you?

Any trail that you'd like to visit?

Snow might be an issue - all depending on when & trail.

Kingston Peak
Red Cone / Radical Hill / Saints John

Both of those are above timberline.

Jim what about Chinamans? You and James are considering? On a week day in a couple weeks. If he wants to attend this and there isn't a extra open seat I can do something else?? Like take my dog for a hike somewhere.

For Chinamans, I expect I would have an open seat - granted its a small seat in an old small jeep. In other words there are no creature comforts and its equivalent to riding in a buckboard wagon.

Jim's Jeep is almost 20 YEARS newer in technology. But not actually LOL!

[Jim]

That's right - "but not actually" - as we're both rough riding leaf spring suspension!

(I'll let a few extra PSI out of the tyres to compensate)

[FINOCJ]

I'll give Jim half credit...4 leaf springs is more than most....but full credit when he gets rid of power steering, power brakes, disc brakes, fuel injection, induction ignition, hanging pedals, single stick transmission, 13 inches wheelbase and 5inches if track width.

[Jim]

If I get rid of all of that, you'll be towing me back to the trailhead!






you win

[Jim]

The hanging pedals gets me - yours hinge on the bottom? Piccy please.

[JandDGreens]

They both are the truest when it comes to Jeeps, I'm looking forward to it.

this is an internet pic grab:

Here is a diagram of how the brake pedal goes through the floor and then has a pivot and pushrod into the master cylinder that is mounted on the inside of the frame rail...Don't know if your old cj5 still had the vestigial round hole and cover plate in the driver side floor that allowed access to the MC. Starting in 72 the pedals went to a modern hanging style with MC mounted high on the driver side firewall (which I believe it stayed there through cj7 even on the YJ).
