Okay so now they are thinking it's the tpim and looking at 3 hours until we are on the road. Here's hoping!

What the hell is a TPIM? Saw another thread about those. No idea what it is or does.

Hope it fixes it for ya

Fingers crossed for you 🤞

If not, at least being a passenger is better than missing out entirely.

I hope they get it figured out for you do you can get rolling.
Still waiting. This sucks balls. Looks like you get first dibs on the room! Hopefully we will be rolling soon. They are test driving it now

Got to Moab about 5:30! Drive went well. Trying to get cooled off after unloading and getting setup at 104°.

Some of the fun along the way...

108° from the Washington border all the way to Boise. The glare almost makes it so you can't see the outside temp in the top left corner.

Camped/parked last night in Jerome, ID at the fairgrounds. Unhooked the truck to go get dinner. Went to bed and woke up surrounded by cars! Had to get creative to get hooked up again.

$300 got me to Spanish fork just south of Salt Lake City. 7.1 mpg.

That pisses me off when dickheads park in front of stuff like that... several times when I was a Driver/Operator for my FD I had folks park in front of my rig... can’t help stoopid people.

Made it in to Moab about 4 unloaded and then rebuilt the XJs transfer case. Seems to be working now. What a long two days.
 
After putting in a 20 driving day on Thursday, it couldn’t have been possible with out how unbelievable that Ram and trailer are, we felt we deserved a quick little test run up Holy Cross.

Both Jeff and my Jeeps were untested after the CO upgrades and there’s not a better place for it.

We burned up and back in 3.5 hours with no issues at all with the new installs. Those COs make such a difference smoothing out the trail.
Here are a couple pictures from the run.

Then loaded the Jeeps back up on the trailer and headed for Moab. What an awesome day!

Enjoy gentlemen! I am a week ahead of you. Was in Moab 23-30, and now in Ouray. Hit Fins and Things, Hells Revenge, Moab Rim, Cliffhanger, and Top of the World, along with Onion Creek road. Ouray, got Engineer, Ophir, Black Bear, Imogene, Poughkeepsie, Corkscrew, Hurricane Pass and Mineral Creek done in two days.
