An update. Last night (friday) Carsyn, Nick and I installed the new fuel pump on the cj5 and installed the new oil filter mounting base which needed a custom mount built. Sorry no pictures but I'm sure you will see the Jeep on the trails soon so just ask and I'll show you what I had to do. After getting the Jeep running, we took off down the dirt farm road and the headlights go out. So we went back to the shop blind. after a half hour we found a bad connection that wasn't worth repairing since all the wire is junk so we cleaned the connection and left it, they work of course.

DEAD WEIGHT
Tuesday night I had some time to perform some quick changes to the cj5.
IF ANYONE WANTS THE BUMPER AND TIRE CARRIER ITS FOR SALE
Well it started out as a quick fuel pump removal then turn to re routing external oil lines then to removing the rigged for failure oil filter base-mount then to "well I got time and all the tools I need"
So now its closer to what I want.

Los Burros July 2008 (34 08'29"N 109 46'35"W)
This is a great camp ground as camp grounds go, not to crowded and in a nice location. We had some storms blow by and we set up our tarp just in case. We did some geo caching and drove a different part of the power line road. 
This is my Brothers sweet Cheerokee
We saw some deer and got the best shot we could.
Our Dad led the way in his 55 Willys cj5 Half cab
After loading the truck, unloading the truck and setting up camp, then packing it all back again mostly by my self (and I'm not complaining Amanda had to watch and feed the babies) I decided that after I get a decent roll cage built for our jeep and a functional roof rack mounted on it I am building a camping trailer to make what I enjoy a little more enjoyable

Old Glory
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796_____________All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention
