Are you guys pulling it out with the Excursion? If you get stuck I'll be a day behind you.AMCdealer wrote:Got some work done on dad's Wag over the holiday weekend. I pirated some parts from the '88 white Wag tornado victim. The camo Wag now has a mechanical fan, proper radiator overflow tank without leaks, and I swapped in the electric tailgate guts since the gear teeth on the manual tailgate stripped. Also adjusted the carb some and some other odds & ends. Hope it does better than it did two years ago!
Looking good! Definitely trailer it up! Seriously though, were you not there for our Explorer maiden voyage in 2010? Wow. Good times.will e wrote:Crappy Cell phone pic.
Moved under its own power today. The rear axle has 14mm lugs so I swung by discount tire and picked some up and took them there. I was there for the first startup/move.
After moving it we found that the front driver side axle seal leaks so I left it there. I guess they have to tear the axle down to replace it, going to take them a half a day. But we are close! I decided I am going to drag it up to Ouray either way. I wanted to see what trailering it was like so I would know if I can bring the wife next year. If I have to tinker with it, better in Ouray 80 temps than here in Phoenix.
They are going to fix the axle seal tomorrow. He says about 1 out of every 10 or so ends up leaking.
