A friend across town just went through this with his 2.5L Wrangler. Number 3 piston self-destructed.

Well done. I wouldn't have thought to try that.

Dutch uncle here ... Looking at your other posts/threads about this truck, such as the fact that the rear brake proportioning system is disconnected and non-functional, I'm going to make an unthinkable suggestion: STOP looking at upgrades and such until you have gone through the truck and fixed everything that needs fixing. Make it solid and reliable, drive it for awhile, and THEN you can take your time deciding what you really want to upgrade.

Remember, it could be a 2.5L. Not to suggest that's a bad thing. That's perfectly adequate for a trail rig.

My daughter has a problem with her MacBook Pro and I need help with remote diagnosis and repair. She's at a university in South America, so even if I knew anything about MacBooks, it's not like I can work on it myself. Here's her description of the problem: Any ideas?

Most of those "goodies" are things that I don't need or want -- and that will be standard equipment, so I would have to pay for things I would hate. I don't want or need a removable soft top. I don't want or need a 8- (or any-) speed automatic transmission. I don't want or need electronic, seven thousand mode off-road drive options. Give me a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission, a 242 transfer case with a manual shift lever, a decent radio with a CD/DVD player, and the diesel engine. Removable roof panels are potential leaks. I want a real roof over my head. Not interested. The more I see of it, the less I like it.

Please explain your method of bleeding.

The Dana 35 uses smaller diameter axle tubes than the Dana 44. If those U-bolts from Rusty's claim to fit both -- they must be sized for the Dana 44, which means they aren't right for the Dana 35. Which axle do you have?

Congrats!

Is he using book of faces to promote "his" decals? I would file a formal complaint with Facebook. Explain who you are, give them a link to the forum, and include his FB message for confirmation. Get the SOB suspended or banned.

The least they could have done was to square off the lower, trailing corners of the doors. It looks stupid, and it's over-priced. Which means they'll sell a gazillion of them ... to people who don't know jack about what a Jeep or a truck is really about.

In general, the 2.5L should return about 5 MPG better mileage than the 4.0L. There was a guy on NAXJA with a 2.5L in one of the Rocky Mountain states who claimed he routinely got 28 MPG. The 4.0L is lucky to get more than 20 MPG going downhill with a tailwind.

Doesn't sound familiar. Sorry.

Copyright law has changed since I last thought I knew a little about it. As an architect, it concerns me professionally. When I entered the profession years ago, to copyright our designs we had to put a copyright notice on the drawings we issued. As I understand it, that's no longer necessary. The copyright laws were revised in 1976. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_States So your logo can be copyrighted (and, in fact, is copyrighted to you as long as you haven't transferred it or released it into the public domain). The copyright applies to the original and to "derivative works," which is anything that's an obvious rip-off with minor changes. I would suggest that you look into the process of registering your copyright. If the fee is an impediment -- let us know and I'm sure enough people will chip in a day's lunch money to cover it. I hate copyright thieves. This is why any time I post my information about the mixing and matching of front axles, hubs, aand brakes I mention specifically that I am not releasing it into the public domain or granting permission to copy it and spread it around. I can't actually prevent anyone from passing it along, but by my stating that I don't grant permission I have protected my intellectual property claim. You have done that by notifying this clown, but if you can find a snail mail address for him and serve him with a written notice by registered or certified mail, your protection will be greater.

Don't know in pounds, but I do know that two people can (fairly) easily pick up and carry a complete SWB bed, complete with tailgate and tailights.

This is a slightly newer version of the one I bought. I got it on sale about two years ago (I think), for right around $200. I very happily tossed the H-P DeskJet in the trash (and that's unlike me -- I still have some other printers around here that are 25 or more years old, and still functional). https://www.staples.com/Canon-Color-ImageCLASS-MF628CW-Laser-Printer-New/product_1807525 Watch Staples sales. What ink cartridges does your wife's printer use? If they're the same as what I think I still have around here, you're welcome to them.

She's using an ink jet printer? She's getting hosed. Ink jets are a rip-off. My late wife had an H-P multi-function DeskJet something-or-other. She didn't use it that much, yet it seemed like we were always buying ink cartridges (it took four). Not long after she died, it stopped printing ... again. I bought a new set of ink cartridges, installed them, and it still wouldn't print. It wanted new print heads. The print heads used to be part of the ink cartridges but, with the newer printers, the heads are separate. And they are EXPENSIVE. I went over to Staples on a sale and bought a Canon multi-function color laser machine. No separate print heads to wear out, no concerns about ink drying out, and the cost per page is about a quarter what the cost per page is with ink jet. But ... the laser won't do photo quality. If she needs photos, you're stuck with the ink jet. If it's routine business printing, my advice would be to toss the ink jet and buy a color laser printer.

You wrote to drill the hole in the flat side of the vents. The video says to drill it in the side toward the firewall. Which is better?

I keep looking at them and thinking "Ford Explorer." I know those wheels were OEM on something, but it wasn't a Jeep.

I've had the same one for more than 25 years. Still works. Don't remember the brand or where I bought it but, knowing me, it wasn't uber-expensive.

The factory slider was 3-piece -- two sides and one sliding panel. It was only a "semi" frame 00 metal along the top and bottom, exposed glass edges on the ends.

That's a base model truck, with some aftermarket parts (as previously noted). IMHO, it's definitely not a $9,000 truck. MAYBE $4,000, no more than that. If the seller seriously expects to get anywhere near nine grand, he's on crack.

Don't know. All the factory rear windows used a gasket. Yours must be aftermarket.
