MiNi Beast Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Good times. Was a blast being able to say I drove to this event. My own ultimate adventure. Met some good guys and gals and had a good time just hanging out and checking out the other rigs. Little bummed about not getting 😕 here sooner though, however glad I came anyways. Got my dash plaques for proof of attendance. Not sure I should be in the unlimited class 🤔 but i do have unlimited break downs. Big Thanks to @Comanchekid45 for helping out with the fuel pump issues and hosting the fellas at his place. Definitely down for next year and as @Pete M saysays, I can get the prevention maintenance done before the trip. So now I found a sending unit and fuel pump about hr away in West Virginia, so turn and burn we are to go pick it up. Be a little easier getting up the hills with a full functional fuel pump. 😎 Break it, fix it and repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just got home. little more interstate travel home. Man the jeep rides so smooth at 65mph. Just wish the roads were flat the whole trip. so with an 11 mpg avg I'm still happy with the beast. Soon to tear it all back apart and give it some more attention and replace the engine for the next events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Got a package today from @Torq_Shep. Good man helping me out from his local yards. A manual trans wiring harness to replace my auto harness and clean up some molested wiring. plan to swap this one in with a new rebuilt 4.0. All in good time eh! The jeep has yet to move since I got got back. Forgot how tiring it was to drive it over the road for hours on end. Still love it. however the bike has been a welcome ride for these last few muggy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harness is good just want to clean things up and install things fitting to the drivetrain upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Problem with owning more then one jeep, is when you buy parts for one the other dosent get parts. with having to be yanked out a tree well at the dunes, lost the front splash guard on the jk, so to fix this issue and upgrade at the same time, opted for some skid protection for the start of the jk build up. Capable enough for now, skid plate will ease the mind with that added protection. Engine skid is on backorder so await its arrival. Aluminum is light and stronger then plastic. Easy enough to install as well. MJ as always on guard duty protecting the sunflowers 🌻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Need some stone so had to go get my trailer from camp. Mj not sure she wants to go. Little hot in the cab.
