Tonight... I lived. (4-wheelin story)

[CJ the noisemaker]

So I guess by now everyone is bored with my videos and pics of me fixing up my Jeep. So, the time came to where...

I went Four-Wheeling.

Yes, my GW was ready to roll, and the first place to go was the Sagebrush east of the Gardnerville Ranchos. Me and my uncle (It was my uncle's idea to go wheelin') went out to the 'brush and drove around for a few hours.

The Good News:
1. The weight of the truck and the condition of the tires made it perfect to go almost anywhere.
2. After the wheelin', I let the truck cool down and started it up. It purred like a kitten.
3. It's not leaking fluids, or doing anything silly.

The Bad News:
1. The oil pan is still leaking from the front and back. (It's my fault, I didn't install those gaskets. But I will next week.)
2. The fuel and oil pressure gauges don't work, so I will inspect those tomorrow.
3. The headlight on the passenger side was still rigged until I get a proper mount
4. A few other things are still not proper (ask me what is wrong)

And I have video, so that will be on Youtube soon on my channel:

Ok, Picture time!

Yikes! what the heck is all that white stuff on the ground? Guv'ment experiment gone wrong? ashes from U.F.O. landings? you guys in Nevada are really living on the edge of the abyss.
Congrats on getting your Waggy rolling, and great video, much better than watching some numbnutt launch a bottle rocket out of his... you know the typical You-Tube offering. :thumbsup:

Nice, thanks for sharing your picks. I am allergic to snow. After living in Phoenix for 26yrs and the living in SoCal for 28yrs. there are not enough layers. Looking at your picture of the back of the instrument cluster there is a wire soldered on two terminals were there should be a piece of card stock with wire wrapped around it (resistor). That may be the reason why some of your gauges don't work.
