Call and ask them about it. Ours does not stock them but can order them and have them in 2 days ;) I just got back from getting mine mounted and they look and ride great. My old ass BFG MT"S shook like hell around 65, I rode home at 70 smoth as silk. They are alot quieter on the road too ;D Damn I can not wait to try them out on the trail. But it will be a few weeks, Power steering going in Sunday, then next weekend It gets exhaust, front end widening and new 1/2 shafts, and alignment. And some time before Moab I have to change all the fluids, fix an oil leak, and try to get that idle to slow down. DAMN I'm running out of time :o Did you get a camping spot?

What rpm does your idle at?  Do you have an auto or manual trans?

It's a manual. It Idles around 2500 cold and then drops to 1800-2000 warm. It the the old surge when cold and then decided just to stay idleing high.

I am doing the same with my auto.  It idles around 1300 in gear.  Any less and it surges.  Does that sound similiar to what yours does?

Mine started out surging the RPM when it was cold and then would idle down to normal after it warmed up. Then the surges started lasting longer. Now it just idles high all the time.

Clean the air bypass control, it's heated with
engine coolant, probably sticking, and it's
not electric so the computer has no say.

Yes Zig, I found a spot $10 a day, close to
the Market too, Up The Creek, Walkin campground.
I have not sent reservation check yet, is it a  
lame camp or OK ??  sounded nice, and I don't
mind walking in, they might flip when they find
out I'm a wheeler, the lady e-mailed me and
warned me about all the motors on the trails,
LOL I said that it would be fine, but I didn't tell
her I was a wheeler. Most people that stay there
are hikers and mountain bikers.

Just a Heads up. The mountain bikers and hicker that Ive met up with so far are pretty much just there that week to make our life hell. The know were there that week and thats why they show up. To protest in a way. I think it was last year some tree huggin hippy dumpped 5 pounds of nails at the bottom of lions back. If youve ever seen lions back its like they are fine with pickin us off one at a time.  >:( Im always nice to them cause Im sure their not all natzi's but Im very weary in their presence. Also they like to use camcorder to capture any footage of us doing something wrong. I accidentally drove over a tiny weed on heels revenge and got an earfull. I didnt even think of it cause at home here we run everything over.  :-/ It grows back so fast it doesnt really matter. Out there things dont grow back so fast so I understand but they really take it too far.


Long story short... Find a new campground.

OK, maybe I could camp out with somebody and
share the space rent, seemed like most of the
sites were booked. I think it will be just me and my
brother if he goes thru with his plans, we are dropping
his wife off in Saint George at her mom's house to visit,
and continue trailering the Trucklet to Moab.

ARGH ...... Eco Natzi's

Almost nothing grows at Tierra Del Sol, that and
I think the Eco Nuts would get run over by the
1000 + 4x4s out there
