Family stranded in the wilderness, 1948 V8 Willys to the rescue! 

No problem at all, glad I could help!

Hopefully he will get a satellite phone if he doesn’t have one for emergencies.

Just curious how does that kind of rescue cost

@@Physical0bject Here in Central California we have a 4WD shop that’ll go on OHV trails that are a 2-3 hour drive into the mountains, they vary in length: 3 miles, 5, 13, 33. And are a lot of rock crawling similar to Rubicon. Last I heard he had a $500 service charge, I never heard anything about mileage fees. He has had some people balk at his fees, and he starts listing what it takes: Stop what he’s doing at work, load a trail rig onto the trailer, load recovery stuff, get fuel, drive up there, unload the rig, drive in and find them, repair, or pull them out, make sure they get back to the trailhead. I remember one story, a guy was left 9.5 miles in by his group because his Cherokee wouldn’t start, his wife called the shop once the group returned without him, the shop owner drove his FJ40 in, and had a buddy tagging along in his trail rig also, because that’s a lot of trail to cover by yourself, he added fuel costs to that point, but I forget, it was a 7.3 IDI turbo (and they climbed 9 thousand feet elevation), then time and fuel to drive two rigs 9.5 miles in on a 9 rated trail (usually 4-6 hours drive time one way). The only problem with the Cherokee was the fuel pump harness came unplugged right at the tank, in about 5 minutes he had the Cherokee running (and this was a couple days after his group left). He had to prod the guy to get him loaded up and moving, it was gonna be a long day already, they accompanied him all the way out, with him between the other two rigs. When the guy balked about the cost (I forgot what it was, $900 comes to mind), the shop owner tells him “look I’m not just some guy that happened along, your wife hired me and told me get him out of there”, then he started itemizing fuel and drive time, etc, and he’s not at the shop to schedule and direct work. The guy finally got it , and paid him. I got this directly from the shop owner, 3 of the recoveries he went on were referred by me. Out of the area people on the trails have no idea who to call, they’re happy when I blurt out the number from memory. Not everyone is in a position to go help for free, people have their own bills to pay.

There is a saying in UK 'Never underestimate and Old Man with a 4x4, :-) I haave two 1944 3/4 ton 4x4 Dodges in my care , they to inspire respect.

Thinking about the same thing also just an idea check your fuel pressure could possibly be a pump going out. I've had similar issue in some ways to this but good luck.

I had a tractor act up on me once. Might run an hour or more, or might run 5 minutes. I was about to pull my hair out, when I found the cardboard 'gasket' from a Clorox bottle cap, half way floating in the gas tank. I found out later, the guy renting the house decided he could use my tractor whenever he wanted, but thought he should add some gas to the tank once in awhile.

The sweatshirts aren't very thick, we're trying to find a much heavier weight one that's not stupid expensive

@@CaseyLaDelle Maybbe not , but! In UK mine has found great use as second under a thick sweater, get to warm take off top , thin one works, then put thick back on when stop exertion. as a thermal vest , and at night sleeping in a tent. So thin have uses. Very comfortable to. I have very severe Psorasis, the material is great on my skin.

Had the same sort of trouble with a friend's 1993 Nissan Micra - bought in 2015 with genuine 29,000 miles on it. Dry joints on the air flow sensor. Factory cost £800 . fix costs. Twenty minutes and a few penies in solder and electric.

Not very often!

Soooo.... Nothing??

@@CaseyLaDelle well, damn. I need to go buy a hoodie or two.
