The build of my flag ship Black Pearl

[black pearl]

Are you in Death Valley already? I have a new 7000 you can have.

I’m about an hour out now.

 

[black pearl]

WTF? And your old Rears look like mine...beat to shit... and probably no leaks like mine. That sucks.

Exactly!!

I hope Rancho or reseller takes care of you after your trip. I have a set of my own waiting for a nice spring day

I hope so as well!

Great trip so far. We had some hellacious wind last night and this morning at a Mine coming out of striped butte valley. We had to make a unplanned stop for the day in Shoshone. Wife isn’t feeling well. Hopefully she feels better tomorrow. Otherwise we head home early.
Service isn’t to good. I’ll have to upload photos later

Hope she's feeling better man...nothing worse than being on a trip and feeling under the weather...

Thanks!
She’s got a light fever right now. We’ll see in the morning. But most likely heading home.

Well this trip has made a turn for the worst. Cut it short because the wife is sick. But to top it off. One of the factory plugs in the new oil filter housing is now puking oil. Not sure how far I’ll be able to make it with this leak.

Damn man... if you didn't have shit luck you'd have none at all

At this point I’d prefer no luck at all!!
But I guess my wife getting sick was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise we’d be out in the middle of Death Valley.

Have a safe trip home.

Didn't you lose an axle on your tent trailer in Verdi or Boomtown a few months ago too?

Wishing you better luck and safe travels

I did, but I’ll admit fault on that one this one wasn’t my doing.
Oh and the trailer is doing great now!

It was a brisk 18 degrees last night and the back set sucks to sleep in. I have a buddy that happens to be heading through this area going home, he’s bringing me the last thing I need. Hopefully I’ll be able to patch it up and start making my way home today.

The trailer, wife, kid and dogs are on their way home. A roll back should be here soon, to take the Jeep 200 miles north. Got someone heading south with a trailer to take me the last 190 miles home. Calling in all kinds of favors on this one.

After a unsuccessful roadside fix. Im on the road.

Get some good rest when you get home. Memories made

I definitely will!! Didn’t sleep much last night. It’s been a long 24 hours. This one is going in the record book!

When an XJ or Toyota pass you.... Don't make eye contact. Lol

Last leg of this journey

 

[black pearl]

Looking up the upgraded aluminum oil filter housing. Most places don’t even have it and others say ship date is end of June

 

[black pearl]

So glad I found one on e-bay!! Wasn’t willing to have a wrangler paperweight for the next 4 months.
