I took my stock 95 Grand Cherokee up Rattlesnake in 5 Mile Pass. On 235/75-15s... I am glad I had skidplates though!!! Lots of other places one can go to, even some trails I could have taken my old minivan on... When dry, most of the Old Pony Express Trail can be driven in a minivan with some clearance. And yes, my old minivan saw lots of Cali desert offroad. There are trails on the closure list for Moab I know people have driven CARS on... So too stock isn't an argument. OK, time and money are.
And just to remind some folks who I am, My Driveway . I'm the wild minivan guy. I also ran my 3.0 V6 without a fan on my computer, in the Mojave Desert (just a 45 minute drive from Death Valley), and never burned up the computer. Some links for the van on the site, some K car related repair stuff (and LH body stuff). Also, look in my photobucket link for some pics in the Vindicator folder for my ZJ (black, can't miss it). And my current Ranger project.
Man, I should have put that T2/555 in the old 87 Grand Caravan...

Sorry I wasn't there, again, but I had to be rushed to the emergency room again. Let me know when and where the next meet is and I'll do my best to be there.

Meh, it was rained out anyway. I was worried you showed up and no one was there because I was a few min late. Hope things are ok with you. We should be meeting at the pie in south jordan next weekend at 1pm. Hope you can make it.

As in today, or the 13th? Thanks for the concern, I should be fine. Here is what happened for anyone that's curious:

Thursday September 20th I started to feel a very slight tingling in my hands. The kind of feeling you get when you loose circulation. I was using the computer at the time so I thought that's what was happening and thought nothing of it. That Saturday I started to feel dizzy again while grocery shopping. By Monday the tingling was getting worse and had moved to my legs. Tuesday my speech began to slur and I began to lose motor control. By Wednesday I began to have convulsions, almost like seizures and they got worse throughout the week, also the tingling had moved to my face and my teeth began to hurt in the gums. By Thursday I was having a lot of trouble doing anything. By Friday I couldn't eat, walk or even empty my ileostomy bag. It was Friday at about 11:00 a.m. that I had someone take me to the emergency room at the University of Utah hospital.
It turns out that I had a vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D deficiency. I was treating the B12 at the time with injections on advice from my doctor. She also told me to get an over-the-counter supplement for the others. However, they were far worse than that. I don't recall how low the calcium was but the magnesium was at 0.02. They said I should either be catatonic (vegetable) or dead. I needed an IV of both the calcium and magnesium right away.
Right now I have my motor control back for the most part and I should be back to normal next week I hope.
Thanks for the concern, again, guys.

I would be down for a bbq in the cold  or whatever lame inside non freezing activities people are up for.
Unless I am forgetting some important activity I already have for Saturday, i want to go up there and grab a wiring harness from a v6 P-body
My spirits TPS problem is solved with that new wiring harness I got the day of the last non rained out BBQ so I am no longer afraid to drive the car.

I think both Saturdays are good for me. I will make it a point to not spend all my time at the junkyard and actually show up on time with my hands hopefully still intact :P

I haven't I've just been in the hospital and this weekend I have out of state visitors showing up. If we have it next Saturday I'll be there for sure. I really want to come.
If you're selling Devin, I know someone that will most likely buy.
