Time for a little update. The Parks Service knows of our little adventure. They are trying to say we are an organized event and want permits & insurance. Just got the paperwork and will be calling today to talk to the person in charge. WE ARE NOT AN ORGANIZED EVENT! We are friends getting together, no fees, no single person in charge with no idea if one or 20 sidexsides are showing up. EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEMSELVES! Will update later.

SUCCESS! We are square the the Farmington Field office of the BLM.

BUT, a camping permit is required at NO COST. They can be obtained ahead of time by contacting J.J. Montgomery @ 505-599-8984. He needs a week lead time. We will be camping in the Glade. I will call and get my permit soon and post the outcome. If you are not sure if you are going to make the trip and decide at the last minute, BLM ask that you call J.J. in route so you are not harassed over the weekend. BLM does not work over the weekend but the local law enforcement does patrol the area. Also don't forget your Off Road permit discussed in an earlier post.

Got back from Mexico and my Camping Permit was in the mail.

Just Call J.J. Montgomery @ 505-599-8984 and leave your Name, mailing address, the dates you will be camping and say you will be camping in the GLADE. He will mail you the permit. Don't delay, I already have mine. If you don't us it not a big deal, it is FREE.

Then come to this topic and post that you have you permit so we have an idea who is coming.

I HAVE MINE!

OK it is time to step up, WHO IS COMING TO FARMINGTON? We are coming do matter what. Daven has agree to take us on some great runs Who's coming?

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

My wife Jeanne and I plan on coming. We already have our camping permit. Looking forward to it. Have a little bit to do to my Trooper yet and it will be ready to go. It won't be done totally but it may never get done. I'm modifying and changing it non stop it seems. Hoped to have the planetary gear setup done but it won't be in time. It will be my biggest challange yet on the Trooper. Kinarfi and I will have power steering on both of our Troopers. I'm quite sure Kinarfi is planning on going too.

Just called for my camping permit, Linda says we have a commitment to be in Duchesne, Utah on June 9 & 10 and head for the Jamboree on the 11th, but that will probably change.

I have my power steering in and I am testing it when the weather is good, but so far, it's working great.

I am also working on a cruise control which should be called an engine speed or throttle control since that is what it does. I'm making this because of my handy cap and my inability to hold the throttle steady, my idea is to be able to set the engine speed to something like 2500 or 3000 rpm and head up a hill and it will stay there, and I won't end up floor boarded.

Rocmoc, do you have a recommended easy route to follow route to follow?

Sorry I don't have a route from your location. Most of the roads I have driven in UT, AZ & NM are good.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I was looking at the maps, it gave me two routes from Shiprock to the Glade. Is there any good reason to use Road 6480 like my route planner says instead of staying on 64 and taking a left on 170, I think not, It's supposed to be shorter, but it's not enough to make it worth while. That's all l was wondering about.

Thanks,

Kinarfi

I have only been to Cottonwood in that area. Roads are a little narrow but were in good shape. What route is Lenny taking?

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

rocmoc,

Will you be taking the 89 to the 160 out of Flagstaff? We would be coming from So Cal and mapquest says thats the route for us.

We will be going up Hwy 77 North from Tucson to I40 East to Gallup and up Hwy 37 North to Farmington. About 515 miles one-way, one long day. We will be heading East after-wards to visit friends in Albuquerque on the way home. I use Yahoo maps. I have pulled my Toyhauler on both 89 & 160. Road is good. Only warning is watch your fuel, stations are only in the larger towns, Tuba & Kayenta on 160. There is some GREAT sightseeing along that route.

I am also bringing my Dirt Bike (motorcycle) in addition to the Trooper. Is anyone else a rider? I am bringing it just in case I break the Trooper, sort of like a spare tire.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Hope it works like a spare tire, If you don't have the spare tire, you WILL have a flat, Murphy's Law!!!! :blink:

Wish I still had my dirt bikes, they were a hoot, Husky 390 OR, Yamaha 600 XT, several others, Used to be quite a biker, but that was long ago, Just a Trooper driver now, and a mellow one at that! See you down there, getting ready for it already.

We are also getting ready, checking trailer batteries. We are going a few days early to visit Friends in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Will also make a quick trip to Taos and Chama. In Farmington, we are planning to take an afternoon or two after a morning ride and travel around the area beyond the 4X4ing or travel around in the moring & complete and evening ride. There is a lot see in the area. We should arrive early the 11th.

Directions to camping:

From downtown Farmington Hwy 64 heads West out of town. Near town edge and just West of the Airport take Hwy 170 North/Right to Pinon Hills Road, just north of the Airport, and turn East/Right. Continue East to Glade Road & turn North/Left. Glade Road parallels a wash into the Glades off-road area. We will place a sign & small orange cone on Glade Road where we turn off to camp. All this is easily viewed on Google Earth at 36deg 46' 44.20"N, 108deg 12'22.80"W. This is a general location to view in advance. Watch for signs & cones. We will be the large White Toyhauler/Fifth Wheel trailer without decals except a round Red SCCA Decal and the #6 near the rear on both sides. Tow vehicle is a Silver Dodge Ram. We should arrive early afternoon the 11th. We will have internet service and can be reached until we depart from Albuquerque in the morning of the 11th.

Next time! I am going to try and get Lenny & Kinarfi to to have it in their playground, near their homes, next year. That way maybe we could have a tech session plus rides. They are the guys with the know and wouldn't it be great if we could leave the weekend with better Troopers than we came with. Planting the seed guys, will talk in Farmington.

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn New Fuel pump not working
      By Nathon S.
      I have a Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn. I’ve recently been unable to get it to start. After a little troubleshooting I realized my fuel pump was not pumping fuel. This weekend I emptied the gas and replaced it with new. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injector. I also replaced the battery, spark plug and made sure all my fuses and relays were good. I have confirmed that the float on the fuel pump is not obstructed. The UTV is about 12 years old and has less than 100 hours on it. It has not run in over a year.  Not sure whats going on?!? After doing a little reading I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the ECU or perhaps a faulty wire in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking or what I could be dealing with? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

      I've installed the Kemimoto side by side mirrors in my UTV to replace one that would not stay in place.This one give great views and tightens down nicely, but you have to take them down evenly or it gets bound up. Just an all around great mirror.
