you got that right Tom! that was like my back yard growing up!

they have some service roads there that are always closed that i've always thought would be fun to drive around on...

yea that place was pretty nice. i would definitely go there again with some friends. at least camp out for 2 nights, setting up your tent and other stuff isnt that fun for just one night. but the canoeing and kayaking was really fun, i hadnt done it in a while and forgot how much fun it was

How many miles were on the engine? Have you heard yet what happened or why full replacement? Just curious

On another note last time I did the river down there we had this snake that stayed with us for a good mile or so, not sure if he wanted to eat us adopt us or what :wink:

I am with LiLredLibby, Had the battery in the misses '02 go bad and all hell broke loose. Engine ran rough, smoking and all, guages went haywire, etc.......

Pull the battery and put in a new one and try it.

How old is the battery?

It m ight need replacing anyway, and if it fixes it, all the better and no need to the stealership run around...

heres pics from earlier that morning before it died, right before i left my house lol

Let us know what the cause of failure was, and what failed too!

Donkeykong · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:01 pm

Wow, kind of makes me nervous that I didn't spring for the warranty...

When are we having a Ohio LOST meet? There seems to be enought of us

Also, is your libby lifted? I like the tires, and will be needing some in the near future, I can't spring for the lift at the moment, but some tough looking tires would be nice

nope, no lift. i eventually want an arb front bumper, but who knows when thats gonna happen. so im stuck deciding between the OME HD front and rear, or medium duty front and rear. i might go ahead and go HD front and back and just deal with stiff suspension until i get my front ARB bumper. or take off the bumper cover and add some steel wieghts somehow to the steel bumper, then put bumper cover back on over it, until i get the arb lol

I don't think it will really be that much more stiff. I'd get the HD, it gives ya more lift

Ray, did you find out what was wrong with it yet?

RAYMAN975 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:44 pm

nope, i went up on saturday and the one girl at the desk said all she knows is that it needs an engine. its still sitting out in the parking lot, i guess they are waiting on the new engine

Donkeykong · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 10:27 pm

I would love to get the ARB front bumper, but I'm actually planning on fabbing up my own hitch receiver, with the intentions of being able to put a winch up front, and to be able to move it to the back.... not only that, the house that I am planning on moving to has a weird driveway that a front hitch receiver might make getting it down the driveway much easier. More will follow on that...

If anything, I would suggest asking to speak with the service department to find out what failed on your engine.

Yes I would really like to know what happened to it just cruising down the road like it did ?

Donkeykong what kind of drive way are you going to have anyways?? Cant be anything that serious in Northwest Ohio

OHIO LOST meet and great :wink:

sounds good, sometime soon,

I meet Jon a few weeks ago about half way between here and there, had not seen him since he was in my town (Toledo) to get his lift installed!

Rayman975 HDs are sort of rough for a normal person but I liked them even before the ARB went on. As far as extra lift no they dont give you more really than the mediums but if you are doing a bumper by all means you will need them!

The problem with the driveway is that it's narrow, and right off of SR 44, I'm sure that with more experience I would be able to back it right the way down the driveway, but for now I need an excuse to put a hitch receiver up front (winch) that my wife will be cool with (horse trailer).

I plan on using some 3x3x1/4" thick angle, probaly 2-3' long, and welding a hitch receiver to the bottom with all appropriate gussets, and whatever else. I think that I could do it for less than $50. (I have the angle, and the hitch receiver is around $15 from TSC... ) I would be able to make the inner straps relativley easy, and make it hang just below the front bumper cover...

Sounds like a plan Mark! In that case a front mount would be easier if its a "skinny" driveway :lol:

bad weekend for the libby :(
