Very sharp CJ...

 

[HoosierJeeper]

No prob.

 

[Ry' N Jen]

I suppose the above photographs should actually be posted to the
"Post Your Liberty Pictures" section...
Could one of the Admin staff please move them over there please?

Cheers
Ry'

 

[Ry' N Jen]

WOW, that was quick HJ!
Thank you sir!

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Right then... Once again sleep deprivation!

I have to figure out how to post photographs like everybody else does!Instead of posting them as attachments! (banghead)

First some scenic photo's of us heading North yp the Sea to Sky Highway.

First shot I thought the bridge in this shot is a cool piece of architecture.
The second one is a chunk of rock called the Squamish Chief.
I thought of this just now unfortunately, but we should of gotten a few shots from a distance. If you get far enough away and look at it sideways, it looks like an Indian Chief laying down complete with his head dress!

I first climbed the back side of this many many moons ago and then eventually worked my way up to climbing the full length of it!
Many falls on dynamic climbing rope and many many poopy shorts from
literally scarring the crap out of me!

The third shot is of Shannon Falls (In the back ground) and the restaurant
where we had an early dinner.

Beautiful pics. BC is a beautiful province.

 

[HoosierJeeper]

WOW, that was quick HJ!
Thank you sir!

I pretty much live on here.... so yeah...

These first two is of our KJ of course!
Swapped out the four Cibiē (clones) 7 inch round clear
driving lights to two Optronics Off road burners series 7
inch round blue lens 100 watt lights.
(These are wretchedly bright and I like the blue tinted light output!)
The two rectangular lamps are Piaa 940's
115 watt driving lights
85 watt


The third is of Shannon Falls Provincial Park.

on the way up to Garabaldi Provincial (Back-country) Park.

CJ is sharp...did you talk to the owner about it? Specs?

 

[Ry' N Jen]

The place was abandoned.
The green ford pick-up that is blocking in the Jeep hadn't been insured since 2002!
I guess he/she blocked it in so nobody could pull in, load it on a flat deck and
drive off with it.
That area is rather secluded.

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Three more shot of the CJ5...
I left a phone number between the windshield and wiper to see if the owner
wants to sell it.
Last time it was insured according to the tags was September-09!

 

[HoosierJeeper]

Looks pretty original.

 

[Dave]

Really nice find guys. The place looks like a hunting camp or something that was abandoned. The CJ looks pretty good for just sitting there for who knows how long. The tires are still aired up. Do you have a way of tracing the registration to find the last owner?

The last two of the CJ.

Tim is toying with the idea of buying at least OME coil springs and new shocks all round.
So I asked Tim if he would like to drive our Lib yesterday so he could get a feel for how
well it drives and handles on the Highway and on a somewhat rough gravel, potholed road
surface with the Frankenlift and the Goodyear M/T R Kevlar tires.
He clocked around 90-100 miles yesterday!

I'll get Tim to elaborate as to what he thought of our Liberty's performance.

Last photo, the Trans Temp light came on while travelling slowly up a steep
gravel road!
That is the first time that has ever happened in four years!
He stopped, popped the hood and an immense amount of killer heat
greeted us from under the hood!
We sat and idled for 5 minutes to let it cool down then continued up the road.
He dropped it into first gear and a couple of minutes later the light went out.

Looks like I'll be adding an auxiliary ****** cooler and hood vents soon!

 

[HoosierJeeper]

Ry, do have the tow package?

BTW...did you get my PM about the wax?

That's the road going up to Whistler, no? If so, I love that drive.
