MiNi Beast Posted July 20, 2021 Author Posted July 20, 2021 E.T. phone home. progressing well enough I still feel relaxed 😌
MiNi Beast Posted July 22, 2021 Author Posted July 22, 2021 Closed in and good enough to keep the weather out. late night with some oatmeal for rations and back to city for a few hrs sleep... then thinking 🤔...swapping fuel pump before hit the road...hope ones available..
MiNi Beast Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 #Maynardhood for tonight at some campground. Jeep is handling things good. see you soon folks.
MiNi Beast Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 At turtle pond with MaynardHood repairs. Hub bearings a little loose.
MiNi Beast Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Well took a bit but got it back going and we decided to just get a room to recoup and headed out first thing. Good times to be had a the only jeep event. 220 miles to go.
MiNi Beast Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks. Back together and made it as all was packing up. All good cause I made it and that was the main goal. And thanks to a good host and a few members, I was able to get a fuel pump swapped in and I shall be climbing hills like factory mjs again. now off to bed eh.

MiNi Beast Posted July 25, 2021 Author 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!
MiNi Beast Posted July 28, 2021 Author 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.
MiNi Beast Posted August 5, 2021 Author 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.
watchamakalit Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 wish I would have known you needed one. I have a manual harness I took out of mine. Was your aw4 any good?
MiNi Beast Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 Moving on up in the jeep world. Gotz me a fancy winch cover.

MiNi Beast Posted August 13, 2021 Author 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 🌻
MiNi Beast Posted August 16, 2021 Author 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. Damn the dam, MJ still underpowered but it's slow and steadily getting the job done. New engine soon.
MiNi Beast Posted August 22, 2021 Author Posted August 22, 2021 Indeed, dog loves the mud. So late night in the woods installing the master cabin floor. 😴 got back to city about 530 and got ready for a job interview today where I am currently and for the first time ever and I grew up with in a hr from here. little warm but feels great on the bike.
