FHL this weekend (17-19 April)

[Navy-Hunter]

For anyone headed to FHL this weekend, I'm gonna give it another go. I'll be in a bronze Tundra with Georgia plates. I have met a few folks from the board here, but have forgotten to get any screen names. I'll be camping Friday night and likely Saturday night in the FHL campground. Feel free to stop by and say howdy.

I'm working on it, but I'm still in a hole from last weekend. My Cherokee drowned in the Naci on Saturday, so my boy had to drive down from San Jose State and tow me back to the campground. Then, on Monday I rented a Auto Transport from U-Haul and brought her home. The air intake is behind the headlight on those, and I was pushing water over the top of my hood. Water went completely through the engine ending up in the crankcase. In case it happens to one of you guys, I drained the oil, removed the spark plugs, and cranked the engine until water stopped coming out of the spark plug holes and oil filter. When I brought her home the starter couldn't crank the engine, and the solenoid would only click. Friends told us that the engine had seized (locked up and jammed) and that it would have to be rebuilt. Luckily, I got the water out of the engine, and got the starter to crank the engine before I listened to that advice. Tomorrow, I will work on the wires and fuel injection. If all goes well, I'll be there to ford the Naci again. :bag-on-head:b

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. I got the thing started this afternoon, so the only work to be done tomorrow is change the fluid in the differentials and give it a good grease job. The transmission fluid needs to be changed also, but that's no problem either. I sure was relieved when is started.

I'm very sorry to say that at the last minute the "honey do" list prevented my trip to FHL this weekend. I honestly hoped to meet some folks. On the plus side, the wife decided we need an RV, so camping will now be in luxury!

I am scheduled to pick up the new unit next friday, so I hope to hunt next Saturday, but will keep the board updated. I do honestly want to meet some folks.....

Anyone do any good at FHL?

I didn't make it either. It was late Saturday before I finally got the Cherokee dried out, and new fluids poured in all the gear boxes. It was quite a job that took me all week. Finding the gaskets for the differencial housings wasn't as easy as I thought, either. Something to think about, before I ford the Naci again. The U-Haul Auto Transport was the key to saving the old junker, becasue one weeks labor would have cost more than the 93 Cherokee is worth.
