Last week was spent working on my fuel injection on the Cruiser. Replacing water sensor, adjusting throttle blades, Iac, and TPS . Thought finally had the problems solved, running lean and mean. Scott and I had plans to run the hammers Sunday. Invited others to join us, but nobody show. Ended up having the trails all to ourselves. Only one other rock buggy out there, and we never saw him again. We ran Clawhammer, Fissure mountain, Sledge Hammer, and Jackhammer. We cruised up to Clawhammer, and on the way hit the dunes. The Cruiser was running good, and up I went in 2nd low range. Really the first time I had put my foot in it. As I was coming down Scott started up, so I threw a U-turn and mashed my foot in it. Wound 2nd up to about 5 grand, and thought lets see if she could pull 3rd gear. Never would before with the old engine, but what the heck. Click 3rd and 400 horses kicked in, and off she went. Scott was struggling trying to make the top when he looked back and saw me coming down on him like smell an crap. Man I was a bebopin.
We headed off and ran Clawhammer and fissure mountain with no problems. Came down the sand hill on the south end of sledge when we saw the Buggy heading to sledge. We raced over there but couldn't catch him. Ran up Sledgehammer and came back around. Scotty wanted to run Jackhammer.
Jackhammer went well at the beginning, till we got to where even the buggy have fun, bout 150 ft past the turnoff. Man they dug some holes. You could bury a body in some of those holes and nobody would find it. We walked up the trail to see what the rest of the trail looked like. MMMMMMM , if we get past this 100 ft the rest of the trail looked good. Out came the winches. We used the winches to get through cause as I said we were by ourselves, and didn't want to risk breaking. We had to Winch Scott's little 35's bout 4 times at different places, but up we went. I told Scott that I didn't think I would make it cause I didn't have a locker in the front, but low and behold up the ol girl went until I slid off a rock and landed sort of in a precarious position. Out came the winch to keep her going in the right direction and up I went. Once we got past this section the rest of Jackhammer was easy.
We headed up and over and down Jack and got back to the flatlands when the Cruiser started to fart and faint. Dammit the fuel injection started to act up again. Thank God that we were back to the flats. We limped back to the trailer and loaded her up.
So today will be spent unloading , cleaning and trying to figure out with the computer what gone wrong. Really a long but fun day with my son. I don't know how we manage to have the entire Hammers to ourselves, it seems like whenever we go out there that the way it works. At least were not eating any one elses dust. Hammer down, Kevin.
