I may have trouble without 3 rd when I hit the mountains--- I will get 2 hours sleep,change out trasnmissions, put the thing in by flashlight, and drive back to NJ from Colorado by Columbus Day 11 pm if everything is okay-
Sounds like a good plan. Won't have problems with the mountains except for the 1.5 miles up to our house where the foothills are kind of steep.

Have all those things and the car will be better off without all that weight, especially at 6000ft elevation.

You won't wake us, my wife's elk hunting season starts this weekend so we'll be gone, but will leave the lights on and doors unlocked so you can take a shower when you're done.

No need to de-grease driveway as we don't have one, just gravel and dirt.

Yours will feel right at home here:




Oh yeah, there's a black bear that is usually cruising the property around 2-3am, but he doesn't bother anyone.

Directions: Come to Colorado, aim for the mountains, turn left a little, head up to our house.
