Hi RedwoodCorgi,

We are unsure why you cannot send private messages. Please try something for me. Take your mouse and click my name on the left hand side of this message. You should have some choices show up, and one should be "send a private message". Select that option and see if you can send me a message.

Thanks,
 
I would be interested

I would be interested in a So Cal club if the dues are low and gathering are often. Since almost everything would be online the cost of a club should be low. Hopefully this stay at home order will be lifted soon.

Has there been a club made yet? I see the posts and LuckyDog is doing a fine job. Any updates?

Several years ago Lucky Dog, Camp The West Coast, myself and two other Hi-Lo owners had a campout in Columbia, CA, which was a great time, but a club was not established and Lucky Dog and myself are no longer Hi-Lo owners, as my wife and I can no longer do the camping.:(
 
Anyone from Ca going to the HiLo rally in Sturges SD in June? We are and Leaving southern Cal about the 5th or 6th, want to meet up and go as a small convoy?

Not sure what happened to their website, but try JR Repair at (740) 392-1600. That was their last known phone number.

Hello Greg, My name is Terri Rose, I have a 17’ 1982 HiLo. I live in Lompoc, California. Did you organize a HiLo club? Also, I am wondering if you know how I can replace my cables and pulleys.. they aren’t broken, I am trying to prevent that from happening. Thanks so much, Terri Rose

Terisjoy Welcome to the forum.

I would not replace the cables and pulleys. Do preventive maintenance once a year. Use CLR cleaner found at Walmart in the gun dept. It cleans lubes and protects. About $9.00. You can also buy this from Walmart on line. When you unscrew the inside rail trim pieces the pulleys will be exposed for the CLR to drip down. You will be able to see if your cables are rusty or frayed. Not sure if the generic manual gives instructions on how to position the HiLo to do this. I know DH has on old clothes and gets under the HiLo and tips it in quite a few different positions. Perhaps someone can explain this better.

Rose, I agree with sam on this. There's no reason to replace cables or pulleys unless you find damage (rust or fraying in the cables or, a broken pulley). If the cables are sound, they will NOT break! The breaks seem to occur at the top pulleys where the cables come up and then go down to attach to the lower rail of the top half. To see this area, you MUST remove the inside trim strip that covers the top edge of the bottom half. It's just held on by screws and is easy to remove and replace.

Once that trim strip is off, with the top up, you can see the area that is most likely to break if damaged. Just apply the lube liberally there and let it drip down both sides of the cable if no damage. Then, replace the trim strip.
