  1. If any of you get to vacation here, when you go through road cuts, look for green rocks. It is poor grade Jade. You may take the time to search near old walls of magma that made it to the surface. In and around these walls, you will find quartz. Look carefully and there is gold to be found. Go up and down washes. There will be indian artifacts, arrowheads, pottery chards etc also when you find gravel, wet the gravel, you may find garnets. Important thing...don't go where the tourist go. It's all been picked over.
  2. Last time I saw a ring tail, it wasn't in Big Bend proper but, just outside of Alpine. You can never allow them to take up residence in your house. They have peculiar ways, such as, they pick one place to poop. My plenum had collapsed. I found out, they pooped so much in one place it collapsed the plenum. A pile larger than a basketball. Cute little animals but so destructive. I will say, I had no mice,rats, or scorpions
  3. As I said, I have 160 acres. It just gripes the heck out of me , that all I can walk is the area where I'm building a house. Now, I can drive everywhere, see everything. Sure is a stress buster. Before I went in the military, I was an avid hunter. Deer, pronghorn antelope, javelina hogs. Since Vietnam, I can't bring myself to kill things. Turned my interest to feeding them and watching their habits. I've raised 2 fawns, several baby rabbits, a meaner than hell ground squirrel , and hurt quail. In 4 years , I have had one bear foraging around, and a young mountain lion. The strangest animal out here is the animal native to Africa, called "audad" mountain goats. I'm certain, I am just as strange to them. Funny, most animals just stand and watch me while I'm in the Hisun. As soon as I get out , they bolt. This Hisun 750 has greatly increased the quality of life.
  4. I was in a canyon, where I came up on an area where I got bogged down in heavy sand. No choice but to back out of there or turn over. I was telling my wife how glad I was to exit that area. That's when I put it into low, and caused my grief Thinking about it, I may have not engaged into low sufficiently. It was like two gears turning barely touching each other, making that grinding screaming noise. I have tried to recreate the noise by swapping from 4x4 to low, but it hasn't done it yet. Boy, that grinding noise must have ground down some teeth.
  5. Right, it was like a cat was caught under there. I make sure to be fully stopped before I change gears. It seems like the transmission is a bit fragile.
  6. I ran my Hisun sector 750 in some dry sand. I put it in reverse and backed out. I then put it into LOW. When I gave it a little gas, the front end started screaming, like the gears hadn't engaged. Boy!! I shut it down. Put it into 4x4 and locked it down. Worked OK, no screaming. Put it back in rear wheel drive. Drove back about 3 miles. Everything works ok now. Scares me. Any ideas what had happened?
  7. Moved to the Big Bend area. Too many people where I came from...just got moved out, too much traffic, noises, smells, and crime. Civilization pushed me out. Went to Vietnam in 1968. After 3 months, caught a round in my left knee. Laying in a med cot, a mortar hit near me , messed up the rest of me. All in one day. Those little people tried to kill me??? Sure glad when I went back to the states Went back to school, got a job with Dresser Atlas, a wireline service. As a Formation test engineer, I took samples from zones downhole. My Military injuries got the best of me in '85. I had both shoulders replaced, my knee replaced, of course, and plates and screws in my lower back. Several pieces of shrapnel removed from my gut. But....I'm here. I purchased a Hisun Sector 750 to use as my legs out here in the desert. I Bought 160 acres but because of my injuries I have only had the use of the area where I am building a home. The Hisun allows me to go to areas that I thought were out of reach. My nearest neighbor is 2 1/2 miles away. My hobbies are , hunting for indian artifacts, Fossil hunting, and shooting guns. As you can guess, I don't hunt live things anymore. This Hisun allows me to do all of the things I thought were lost to me.
  8. Yeah....that's where my ignorance showed thru. I never thought to check a little 5 amp fuse that ran the display. How could that little fuse wreak havoc on my whole dystem? I found out exactly how it happened. The little plug in the glove box..for accessories was unplugged. I had placed a pair of needle nose pliers in there which came into contact with the positive side of the plug. I now carry a handful of fuses.
  9. Well, I have to show my stupidity here. I had the 750 towed. 150 dollars and I found out what the problem was. The dashboard ECU switch fuse was blown. I NEVER thought a simple 5 amp fuse would shut the whole utv down. Going to call the dealership and ask if it was a known problem. I did buy a handful of these fuses just in case. I appreciate the help you offered. I know where to come for help THANKS
  10. Ran the multimeter across negative side of the batt and engine case.. 0hms Conductivity good at relay
  11. I just bought a new Hisun 750 sxs. I drove one mile and it just died. No power at all. Battery is 12.8v. Found no blown fuses. No power to the panel, no nothing. Problem for me is I bought 160 acres near big bend. Trying to build a house. Got blown up in 'Nam . Can't walk much. Scared I'm way out and it fails again. I heard something about a brake switch, but I have no idea where it might be.
