  1. But, I do want to say I would love to have one! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  2. Motorhome finished! Will be taking it in to have the serpentine belt changed out, this is not an easy task on a diesel motorhome, & the Jake Brake checked out. The Jake Brake stopped working when the tree ran into me. There was a wire loom that was smashed by the tree. I fixed the lights but in the process the Jake Brake stopped working. I believe it is a fuse or relay but outside of my expertise! I could spend hours/days and Williams Trucking, who works on my Motorhome, will fix it in less than an hour. Finished the wielding on the '74 tub yesterday but have a couple other projects that I need to address. I pulled the race car out of the RV garage today and am going to sell it. Anyone need a '37 Chevy INEX Legends race car? They stopped racing them locally and am a bet bummed that there is no where locally to race anymore. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  3. Very interesting site and expensive! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  4. Time for an update! I bought another tub/body as the tub on the '70 (It came from Nebraska) and was rusted out from the snow & salt. The new tub is off a '74 which has hanging pedels an upgrade I was going to install in the '69. I have the '70 running and driving it locally, just looks like cr*p. I took the tranny, transfer case & overdrive out of the '69 and had them rebuilt completely. Already had the '69's diffs rebuilt and lockers installed. So now my plan is to use everything from the '70 except install the new '74 tub, the rebuilt trans/tranfer case/overdrive from the '69, the diffs from the '69 with the lower gears & lockers taking the best to make ONE great Jeep. The tranny & diffs are good in the '70 but no overdrive and higher diff ratio. I have been going over the '74 tub rewielding everything that shows any cracks, movement or rattles. Just finished today. Will start cleaning the bottom and repaint/coat the bottom while it is off and can be turned on its side for the work. After I complete next week, I will start the body work which there is not too much of. As a side note and same time, I just finished working on the Motorhome. I had to do a little bodywork to the rear. A tree ran into me when I was being moved the 3rd time in a campground this last winter. I had wanted to repaint this area anyway as it was the only place the paint was showing its age. All complete except an hour worth of items to reinstall after the painting. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  5. WOW!!! Thanks for the post and great video. How about sharing some info about Drakart Intimidator Gen2 including price range, where it is made, built in what country, what is the power plant and tranny & anything else you would like. ALSO where was the video shot? rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  6. What I meant is the engine under load using max or most of the fuel that is available. If the line, pump, filter or tank oulet is partially clogged, you will use the fuel that has built up under pressure from the static condition and will start starving the engine for fuel the longer the engine is ran at the higher RPMs & demand. The pump cannot keep up with demand except when at idle because of the lower fuel demand. Same happened when the floats were set to low on carbs, would not be enough fuel in the bowl or thu the needle & seat to keep up with demand. Of course I could be all wrong, LOL! These engines are a lot less forgiving. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  7. Under load? Need to see what it is doing when you start having your problem at the higher rpm. Kind of hard to do! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  8. Personally I would be shocked if the plug wires have gone bad. If you have air, blow the fuel line backwards into the tank. Maybe you pumped something that is sitting on the tank outlet. Don't blow thu the fuel pump. You can have the correct fuel pressure at static load as the pressure will build even if a line or filter is partially plugged. I am still leaning towards fuel problem as it started happening just after you got fuel. Also you would get more rpms with the same fuel available in a lower gear. Fuel starvation is my guess! Maybe bad fuel! Had the same thing happen with my weedeater after sitting all winter and the fuel went bad. Would start but not get RPMs and popped. Thought I would have to replace a fouled plug after running the bad fuel but took a chance and changed out the gas first. After a couple of minutes weedeater was back to form. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  9. Change out the fuel filter. Could have sucked up some cr*p when you got fuel last. Cheap easy check except the darn size of one of the hoses. Starving for fuel when you reach the higher rpm. Also check fuel pressure, possible fuel pump starting to fail. It can be a fuel issue as well as electrical. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  10. LOL! I wonder sometime if anyone is still out there. We are lucky Admin has maintained the site for us. I have tried at different times to generate ANY type of discussion. Glad to see someone respond. Yes there are chicken fourms but IMHO people need to post more than just when they have a problem with there Joyner. If not, afraid one of these days we are going to try and bring up the site and it is going to be GONE! 16 posts in a week and nearly half of them are Kinarfi and me. If we don't use it we are going to lose it! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  11. We just got 5 again, Easter Egg Layers (green eggs). We had to sell our chickens two years ago when we decide to travel back East for a couple of winters. We had a greater variety & more but the EE Layers seem to be able to evade the coyotes better and we had too many eggs before. Also the green eggs are suppost to be more healthy for consumption. EEs look like hawks and in some ways act like them being a little edgy and very good hunters. Anyone else have chickens? rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  12. Only what I have read & seen on TV. Rzr is better for the dunes as power is king with lighter weight. Wildcat in the woods as supension is suppose to be better softer ride with more seat room . BOTH are great so you can't lose. Get the best deal, extras and best warranty for your dollar. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  13. OP never showed any interest! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  14. I have a brand new one. Give me a call if you are interested. Still have my number? Will send you a PM rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  15. Hope you guys have a great time. Isn't it strange? I am south of you 200 miles but at 3200 feet alt and this is my weather forecast, Overcast with snow showers and rain showers in the evening, then mostly cloudy with snow showers and rain showers. Low of 34F with a windchill as low as 27F. Windy. Winds from the SW at 15 to 30 mph with gusts to 35 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Your forecast is much better, sure wish I had the Motorhome & Jeep ready to meet you all but not going to happen for a week or two. SO, I will have to wait for posts & PICS! Have fun! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  16. Pretty sure I have a new one. Can check tomorrow in the garage if you are interested. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  17. I'll take it but afraid it would cost more than both of my current two jeeps combind. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  18. Good to hear. They have been trying the new air shocks on the Supercross bikes and they have not preformed as well as the old setups. Most of the riders have returned to there old setups siting lack of feel in the air shocks. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  19. Welcome and hope to see you on here more often! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  20. If the expense is not too great YES. But if it is, I don't think the returns will justify! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  21. Hay guys! Keep an eye on the weather forecast. A cold front from the North is now in the forecast for this weekend. Shouldn't be too bad but may need to bundle up a little more. If ya get a little moisture it will keep the dust down, a good thing. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  22. Sure hope someone has wireless and post trip reports. Sorry we couldn't make it. We just return home from 10 weeks in the RV and the last thing we want to do is get back in it. Plus I have a little gas tank leak in the Jeep, 3 broken pipes (all outside) and a ton of defered maint. to complete. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  23. Great PARTS! How about a post of your conversion with pics in a NEW topic? rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  24. Saddly the first one we will miss. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  25. ALSO, we need a trip report when you go out detecting!!!!!!!! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
