Got away for the weekend
Hitched up to the newly redone '56 Shasta and hauled it over the divide to Encampment, WY for the Cowboy Gathering. No chores or work, just relaxing.

Nice looking old Shasta , love those, had one when I first got married back in 75 that we drug everywhere.
Ordered up some vent shades and some other items for the 05 Limited that's in "the family" now :gr_grin:
Step Dad starts pointing out things on mine, saying " think I could have that on mine" :shrug: "Don't know can ya??"
Just went ahead and ordered everything and have it shipped directly to him, be like Christmas in July when it all shows up.
Next to get the 02 Renegade down to my new place and get it running this next weekend possibly.

Bought it for $300 17 years ago, it was a mess. Did a rebuild and got her roadworthy. This round of redo cleaned her up even more with a paint job close to original. We love this thing, altho I discovered instead of the Dodge diesel we used the Liberty and at 10,000 ft. altitude had my foot mashed and was going 40. First time I noticed the 3.7 struggling. The camper isn't that heavy but the altitude and s-curves took its toll. Might reduce tire size closer to original to help the gearing which should help.

Since the Liberty performs much better in a tail wind, you might want to look into installing one of these set to blow onto the back window! :happy175:

VERY cool little trailer!
I noticed the same "struggling" this weekend pulling my small off-road trailer at that altitude as well. I simply had to take my time and let traffic pass my by. Kinda frustrating, but I have to learn to not be in a hurry. Good thing the speed limit was only 45 in the first place! lol! 2nd gear and 40mph seemed to be pretty comfortable for the Libby all the way up the hill.

:happy175::happy175::happy175: hahaha...If I install two can it be a "Twin-Fan Turbo Boosted Liberty"?
...oh, and downhill was no problem!
BTW, some of the Shasta camper models had small wings on the upper sides at the back end...wonder if that would help?

Yeah, hate to get passed being "that guy" holding up traffic (I''ll pull over on a flat and let them by). My friend has a CRD...might try with that to see how the diesel performs at altitude as compared to normally aspirated.
Nearly twenty years ago I took myself, the current GF, my daughter and a niece on a camping trip. 400 miles each way in a 1.0 Liter 3-Cylinder Geo Metro. With the back full to the top of the car and a carrier on top for the rest of our stuff.
I was definitely "that guy". :emotions34:

Haha! I had an '89 Metro Lsi...it would squeal the front tires and do about 90 max - downhill with a tail-wind! I remember that turning on the A/C was like tossing out a parachute! Loved that little thing for commuting...and sure miss the economy! It was nice only filling up the 13 gallon tank once every three or four weeks!
Oh...and it hauled enough wood to build a 15' section of cedar fencing more than once! :gr_grin:

Mine was a 77 Pinto. Many long trips in that thing laoded to the gills. Speedo only went to 85 but it would do it. 2.3L 4 speed manual, manual brakes, no power assist steering and the possibility of bursting into flames at any moment... Kinda like the KJ in that regard :ROFLJest:

Rotated my tires and added a new sticker. Forgot my windows in the back are tinted so I couldn't put it on my window. I'll probably take it off anyway but it was funny for the time-being
Also went out and did a side by side with an M60A3

Found the speedo is off by 4mph and shouldn't, going to get it calibrated next week. Explains why I get passed like I'm standing still usually when I am normally about matched to the flow of traffic at what speeds I drive.

This past weekend, went to Home Dopey and loaded 20 80lb bags of mortar and 20 sheets of metal lath onto the trailer...
Then went back the next day to get 13 more bags and hauled it inside the Liberty. It's doin the squats!...
All to do this to the house....I'm gettin stoned!!
