Tags: David Tracy is the hero we all deserve
STARS: 2
I have a proposal for David Tracy for next year’s Moab excursion. I love his stories. The man is a lunatic, but I respect that. I’d love to read this series of stories, which do not involve acquiring any more vehicles.
1) Fix J10 pickup good and proper.
2) Construct light-weight home built trailer for the CJ-2a.
3) Further mend/upgrade CJ-2a.
4) Profit ... errr ... Readership

I was thinking of buying an XJ and possibly joining in on this Moab thing.

First you’d have to clean your garage so you could get to the Jeep.

Well, I have some extra parts still. Rear tow point, possible fronts, stuff that I should just get rid of. But for some reason I held on.

I’d read that. I’d like to see better workmanship though.

Figures. Rain has the worst timing like that. I had three kid free days over spring break to get stuff done, and it rained for all three of them.

Me too. That was the problem with doing so much so fast. I think he’s capable of it.

I just need to Tetris everything where it needs to go and organize. I’ve had wall shelves on the floor for over 2 years. That’s space for a motorcycle.

Go to FP listen to death metal stick shift instructions. That should get it out.

I want to see him buy an unloved 4x4 mustang, camaro, corvair or other similar project. And do that to Moab

I’ve been wrenching on my XJ for years with a goal of one day making it reliable and comfortable enough with good enough highway manners to drive to Moab.
This year, I did what I should have done a long time ago... I bought big, comfy Suburban and a car trailer. Time to bug the wife about EJS 2018!
