Eagle

Fixed.

2.45 or higher rounds up to 2.5. 2.44 and lower rounds down to 2.4. I'll see if I can fix it.

Looks like they had several of them there. 13.6 second quarter mile, right off the showroom floor. (Yes, back in 1969 13.6 was fast.) My brother had one. What the photos don't show, because the hoods are raised, is the "mailbox" hood scoop. They had a large, squarish hood scoop mounted above the air cleaner can. IIRC, it had an inlet flapper that was held closed by engine vacuum. Opening the throttle lowered vacuum, which allowed the flapper to open and get more air through the carburetor. Thwey drove surprisingly well. I borrowed my brother's once, showed up at an autocross on cheap Kelly-Springfield street tires, and beat several Corvettes.

Nonetheless, the oil is bring pushed out because the crankcase is being pressurized. There's always some blowby but, in a healthy engine, the PCV system can handle it and suck the oil fumes through to be burning in combustion. If you have oil blowing out the fill cap, either the PCV system isn't working (which could be a clogged line or a bad PCV valve), or the piston rings are worn and there's too much blowby for the PCV system to handle. Can you run a compression check and post the numbers?

Those LED replacements look like what I need. In my garage, the 4-foot fluorescent work lights are basically useless in the winter, because it gets so cold they don't put out any light. Are the LEDs immune to that problem?

Don't forget AMC ...

What's your idea of "vintage"? To me, this looks like you're asking about the ten-spoke "turbine" wheels from the mid-80s XJs and MJs.

This thread is getting confusing. Let's let Omar clarify what he has, and what he needs. If you want to eliminate a/c from a vehicle that has it, just remove the compressor and install an idler pulley to maintain the belt routing.

Someone took it out? So the dash controls and the under-dashboard parts are there? That would make things a lot easier.

It's the jack handle. Cherokees used the same jack and handle, so just get one from a wrecked Cherokee.

Sorry for my contribution to thread drift, but I felt I had to correct misinformation. The problem with bolting to the rear of the cab is that you're punching holes in a vertical wall, and that invites water in. If I were going to bolt in a safe (which would be a small handgun box, for me), I'd bolt it to the floor, set some silicone sealant around the bolts as you install the safe, and then seal the crap out of it from underneath after it's in place.

Much closer to a needle in a haystack.

Before seeing this video, I didn't think I would ever want to buy a retreaded tire. Now I KNOW I never want to buy a retreaded tire.

Youtube video of Chinese automobile knockoffs -- and they didn't include the Cherokee.

Please provide the case citation, because I think you're wrong. The usual law cited for firearms in federal facilities is 18 U.S. Code § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities. But the Postal Service falls under a different law, 39 CFR 232.1. This says: It's the "official purposes" clause that allows postal patrons to bring an unloaded firearm into a post office for mailing. As noted, under other laws only an FFL can mail a handgun. It's illegal for anyone, even with a carry permit, to carry anywhere on USPS property or to leave a firearm in a vehicle if the vehicle is parked on USPS property. That's what the law says. If the Supreme Court has ruled that this is unconstitutional and can't be enforced -- give us the citation. I know a bunch of firearms attorneys, and none has ever mentioned that this law has been ruled unenforceable.

It's often places of employment. The company I work for has a contract with my state's Department of Transportation. My current work assignment is on a construction project that's located inside a railroad maintenance yard, on property owned by the state. The state has a law prohibiting firearms, and so does the federal government. The site is under the double jurisdiction of the transit district police and Amtrak police. (Also the State Police, but they don't have a presence in the yard. They would come in only if called in.) There are only two entrances into the yard, both gated and manned. There are signs at both entrances that all vehicles are subject to search. Likewise, as a veteran I get a lot of my medical care at a nearby VA hospital. There are signs at the entrances to the property that no firearms are allowed on the property, and that vehicles are subject to search. Firearms are not allowed on U.S. Postal Service property. For most government agencies the prohibition is only in the buildings, but the Postal Service operates under a different section of federal law, and their prohibition includes parking lots. So ... park in a post office parking lot, and your vehicle is subject to search. A few states have passed laws that don't allow employers to prohibit employees from having a firearm in a vehicle on the premises. In states that don't have such protection, emplyers can prohibit workers from having a gun at work and they can even extend that to storing a gun in the car while parked on company property. They include permission to search your car in the personnel manual, and you're required to sign that you accept this when you are hired. It's not a law, it's a contractual agreement between the worker and the employer.

It appears to me that both the U.S. (and its allies) and Russia are using the Syrian conflict as a way to testing new weapons developments against the other side's new weapons by uring their surrogates in Syria. This allows both sides to evaluate how they'd do in a war, without having to go to war directly in order to find out.

That's what I call hard core!

New questions: Whether the rifle is an M16 or an M4, what type of sling is on it? Simple, 2-point sling, GI Loop Sling, or 3-point (or 1-point, depending on how you regard it) tactical sling? When I enlisted in 1966, each Christian soldier was given a pocket-sized copy of the New Testament. Do they still do that?

Some states allow vehicle carry even if you don't have a carry permit. Every state is different. We shouldn't generalize. That's what police reports are for. Biometric safe. (Thumb print) Not if it's locked in a safe and the person doesn't have the key or combination. If you have a small arsenal in a gun safe in your house, does a friend have possession of your arsenal when he stops in for a beer on Saturday afternoon?

Agreed. Assuming the axle is straight, the camber should be zero, so no problem there. Caster will probably be close. Toe-in would easily be affected by manufacturing tolerances on the steering knuckles, but toe-in is the easiest part of the alignment to check and adjust using a tape measure.

Kewl. Symbiosis is good.

He's in Mexico. I doubt they have a problem with rust there. I wonder if Cherokees and Comanches are as popular there as they used to be in Chile (my late wife's native country). The hybrid splice has been done before. I thought we had photos of one somewhere on this site. If we didn't -- we do now. This is a bit too long for my taste. I think it would be better with a shortbed box. Sort of like this (edited photo):

The daughter of a friend is enlisting in the Army. More accurately, she has enlisted, and will report for Basic Combat Training in July. Trying to get her a bit of a leg up on what to expect, but my BCT was 52 years ago, and I'm certain it's not the same now as it was then. What weapon do they train with in BCT these days, M16 or M4? A2 open (peep) sights, or optics? If they use optics in BCT, what do they use, ACOG?

I'll have to try to remember to look under the two 2000 XJs. After looking at the 2000 XJ parts manual, the change I was thinking I remembered may have been a change to a flange on the inlet end of the muffler, instead of a traditional male/female pipe mating.
