Nice making it official you'll be here that day! I will update it a bit later tonight
Sitting in La Grande, OR tonight at the hot springs. Going for a good soaking after dinner.
Typical Ford look. Blew the charge pipe off the bottom of the inner cooler.
Time for new clamps.

Tough decision, but I'm skipping Moab to have more wheeling time in Arizona.
Plus, I'm not ready to leave tomorrow morning.
Have fun, be safe.

Hasn't this happened before and you got better clamps? Or was that something else

Had to do the same last year to the F350 in Denver on way to Moab. Unloaded the jeep and went all over on a Sunday trying to find a t-bolt hose clamp that fit.
It'd happened before the engine was rebuilt. I'd asked the mechanic to replace any questionable clamps... I guess he didn't.
I'll get new ones when I get back. I've got spares with me.
It wasn’t. I got lucky and found a Napa with a couple guys that looked through all the boxes of clamps and found the right one in the wrong labeled box. They then gave it to me for free and wished me luck.
Maybe I'll stop at my buddy's shop to see if he has one for the road. He's all about Ford.
Check air in the trailer tires in the morning and Moab bound.
Should probably leave the RainGear off to blow the bug dust out from my last play day.
I don't trailer yet, but I've always been curious - what's the target PSI to run trailer tires at? I plan to over inflate my jeep a bit for better mileage, but nothing crazy.
Considered flat tow but if something breaks...
I run them at max stated on the sidewall when loaded heavy. Hell, could be 45, I'll know tomorrow. 7000# trailer wish it was 10-12k. Maybe next time.
Truck at door sticker 80psi R, 60psi F. 20# in my airbags got me level with Ford camper package and snow plow package stiffens the front.
TorqueLift 24" extension rated to 10k with WD hitch.
Considering eliminating some tools to lighten the Jeep.
Hoping to hit camp before dark and hoping @MagnumV8 might drop a pin to me when he's settled in.
I might call Red Desert and see if they have spot to get me in there a day early.
My twins are wrenching my heart with "Are you leaving Grampa? We'll miss you."

Thinking I might stay around 70mph. I usually do 75 with the 5er but probably higher rated tires than the trailer. 80mph speed limit most interstates out here.
I came in at 40+ pages and was told to go back and read them all
