I understand very much how you are disappointed about not being able to go. Unfortunately this may be a good thing. You aren't ready, and the vehicle has not been tested well. The last thing you want to do is be up on the side of a mountain with your family and have some type of failure. If you lived the little woman might not ever forgive you. Don't worry you are young and have many years of Jeeping ahead of you. Just my thoughts

For sure a really good point I will have many months to test and improve the Jeep locally before I get into the mountains where things can get serious in a hurry

Have not been able to work on the Jeep in a few days been catching up on house chores I did put a pretty big spring left over from an old air actuator I put it in between the fire wall and brake pedal to provide enough pressure to release the brakes....... well like the story of the 3 bears this one is to strong and makes it hard to push the pedal lol..... on to the next spring.

When my daughter came along my jeep moved from number 1 to number 2
The little women got down graded to 3. My jeep is getting closer to number 1 again.
