Just heard from Daven in Farmington. They spotted Kinarfi at the Glade. We have one of our adventurers at the Glade. Hopefully he is at the right / best campsite. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Weather is looking really favorable for the weekend. See ya tomorrow. I will check-in in the morning before we leave as that will end our Internet access. We carry 5 batteries so we will be fine. Check the Gen this morning and it ran fine. Hopefully it will do the same in Farmington. We are just laying around and resting from our daytrip. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Thanks for the morning chuckle! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

We are in Chama, NM about two hours East of Farmington on Hwy 64. We are doing a daytrip to Durango, CO & Pagosa Springs, CO tomorrow. Drove over a mountain range today from Taos, Elevation was 10,557' at the summit per our GPS. This was the highest elevation I have ever driven, KOOOOOL! Having a problem with our gen, it will not stay running. Will try to correct also tomorrow or friday or we are living off batteries at the Glade. No AC! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I am oldish! I am a sleep by 9pm and I'm not kidding. I will listen to the stories in the morning. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I use Marc for my Trooper & Dirt Bikes. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Spoke to Daven, the Farmington Joyner Dealer, yesterday and he is meeting us at the begining of Glade Road Friday. We will mark the route to the camp with the ORANGE flagging. Currently in Corrales, NM. and will move on to Chama, NM. Wednesday. Leave for Farmington Friday morning which is only a couple hours drive at that point. It has been HOT here but the weekend forecast is looking GREAT! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I adjusted the A - arms as much as I could and then too a LARGE hammer to the firewall. Lenny runs the same and he cut-out and modified his firewall. Front fenders no problem. I had the first / early rear fenders and I broke them to heck. Now have new modified fenders and will not put them on until I repaint this next year. I just used a jig saw and cut away the broken part of the fender that was hitting the tire. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I am running 31X10.50X15 Dunlops, Dunlop Radial Mud Rover Purchased on Cragslist for $125 for 4. A guy took them off his Jeep to go larger and had a little wear but will last my lifetime on the Trooper. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Very Nice! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

MORE! I am also going to use ORANGE flagging/surveying tape and tie pieces along the way from the Blacktop Road / Pinon Hills Rd to the campsite. Watch for the pieces of ORANGE hanging / flapping on Glade road. I will place multiple pieces at each turn. I should be there around noon on Friday! Weather is showing warm, in low 90's during the daytime and 50's at night. I will have a list of Wifi hotspots for Farmington with me. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

How much to bring a set of the door mounts & door tubes to Farmington? I am sirius! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I carry enough tow strap and tie-down straps to reach to most anything. I had the same thing happen to me once except was high-centered. Did not carry anything with me then except what was on the winch. Luckily a Jeep happened by and let me hook to the back of him and winched myself free. Since then I carry a LOOOOONG tow strap. rocmoc n AZ./Mexico

Place the fan & fuel pump on their own circuit. You can purchase an in-line fuse for protection at any parts house. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I have the same aluminum top. I used diamond plate and turned the diamonds inside with the smooth side out like yours. I used a piece of aluminum flat and laid the lights down like a sun visor. I can remove two bolts and stand the lights up if I wish to use them. Have not be stood up in two years. MORE, MORE! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Interesting & looking good. Keep posting pics. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

My sending unit is junk. I ran out of fuel with it showing full. A tank full of fuel ago, I ran out with it showing 1/4 tank. I just can't count on it for anything. At any rate, I have learned to carry a one gal. fuel can with me. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I normally run 10-40 or 20-40 in everything. I run 20-50 in my race car. I will try to find the Mobil 1 bottle in a little bit and tell you for sure what is in my Trooper. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

There is this area South of town, Dunes OHV Area We will be North of Town but not that far of a drive. Here is a recreation map showing the different areas, http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/farmington/farmington_recreation.html rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Jarrad , You are coming to Farmington? OR building your Trooper? OR building your Trooper & coming to Farmington? Would be great to have you at Farmington! Bring spare parts, LOL! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

WELL, Trooper is ready! Fixed a limit strap & adjusted a shock today. Hopefully I won't break it between now and next week. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

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. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
