Hello All,

I must post to apologize for the horrible lapse in posts over the past 6 months. I've been stranded in the far north for many months due to work issues, sadly without internet access. When a boss asks you to fill in for people on education leave, and travel to the farthest possible point north in your country, just say no! I hope to get back into the forum with a vengeance, and detail a few upgrades i've made to my truck in the mean time, and help out with anyone making similar upgrades.

Once again, sorry for my horribly delayed posting, and a happy new years to all!

Welcome back! Happy New Year!

And there is no need to apologize. We all have things that take precedence over our involvement on the internet. I am glad that everything worked out for you and definitely glad to have you back!

Now, what have you done to your Jimmy since you last reported in?

 

Yes, welcome back.

 

nothing fancy upon my return...just a battery/plugs/wires (much needed, betty was running quite rough before those were done). and yes i finally came around to naming her, after the classic Ram Jam song Black Betty. Also it seems I can't run 87octane without knocking, so 89 it is from here on out. An alignment is going to be done at the shop in about two hours from now, following a summer/fall worth of offroad fury. Sadly when my steering wheel/LF is straight, my RF seems to be about 15-20 degrees off...she pulls real bad in deep snow, which we currently have wayyy too much of. I hope to be doing much this summer, including rims/tires, a BL and some replacement of worn suspension/drivetrain compenents.

 

I like your truck

Welcome back!

Did you get any nice pics in some deep snow?

 

Welcome back!

 

nice to see you back.

 

Glad to see you're back.

 

see now Yukon... if you had me along we'd set up a shot to a northeast Saty and get you an 8MB bi-directional


If I am out of touch, I am Underwater, Underground, or Under-ground

 

now that would be classy! although hitting a satellite from the north is a nasty thing, most solid com-sats run away from us...even our iridium sat-phones at work are a b*tch, you gotta be up on a mountaintop, standing on the roof of your vehicle to even get one bar...useless.
