    Ralph said he is not coming. He got laid off in March. We could be surprised with his arrival, but that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

          Ralph is one to take on the trails if you want background history of sorts of where you are. I personally like his "Griswald" style of cruising .
          Been a tuff year or so for alot of us. Good vibes for some new employment options going towards you.
          I've enjoyed his informal tours and once got a one on one tour in the GMC Yukon with him. Cruising the trails is a soft ride suspension and A/C was the way to go. Why even the ditch crossing was handled with little to no mud getting on the precious Pukon. What a shame it was not wanted in the group photo .. Stupid rental

          Looks like more of an incentive to try and make AZ this fall for some riding. Maybe the Honcho will be ready by then.

          1980 J20 Utility bed truck. Factory cab and chassis truck. Many new mods for it but it will look all stock.
          1985 J10 nothing special just a nice clean stock truck.
          1977 Honcho "Blue" 401/400/quad. Under going major upgrades.."This is Not Your Fathers Honcho", it may not even be a Honcho anymore when done.
          2017 Challenger. Very jealous of the Jeeps.

              Ralph, you will be missed!
              Yeah, he knows exactly where he is.

              I got to Ouray early last year and we went wheel'n and exporing. It was awesome.

                  drivers side pipe broke the manifold at that connection, going to see if I can get manifold off without breaking bolts into head

                  and see about getting another from Phils' Auto in Hotchkis. None of the parts yards around here have these old jeeps around anymore.

                  rear brakes- no fluid getting there
                  possible master cyl? got pressure from diaphram and front getting fluid. need a a/c'd garage.
                  if it ain't one thing its another.

                    Phil - We can bring a set of manifolds with us to Ouray if you like. Got a spare set off that brown Cherk from Montrose that donated a 401.

                        Jason, I need to get in touch with Jaime. He has first dibs on the site. If he passes, we can work with you on getting it.

                        I have not heard from Dan (carleysjeep) yet to see if he is out or not. 44 may be available.

                            heck I may drive down and pick them up here shortly, haven't much to do during week other than get this thing going, need to replace that left one for sure, rather noisy and would like it fixed before Ouray.
                            Soaking the bolts right now, hopefully none will break off in head, that would be a drag.
