That's because the factory rear window -- fixed or slider -- is curved glass. ALL the aftermarket sliders are flat glass, so they can't possibly fit properly all the way around.

Considering that the factory rear windows only have a "frame" on the top and bottom, and the glass runs full-width and seals directly to the body on the ends, I don't think it's possible for any aftermarket slider to have more glass than the factory unit.

Yeah, I know about Starlink. Not available here.

A V8 Hemi Wrangler! From the factory (unless this video is a joke):

Use silicone brake fluid. It's non-corrosive.

Heck, that would be a pretty slick setup today -- or tomorrow. You just have to remember to unlock the torque converter before you get to the stop light ...

I don't think that's true for the masks most of us have access to. That's only true for N95 masks.

"But, but ... mah rahts! The gummint ain't got no raht ta tell me I gotta wear a damn mask!"

That's fine when you're just talking about them. When you become a supplier, you need to be aware of liability issues. There's a very good reason why the industry invented the term "show bar" and started using it instead of "roll bar." The reason is that some kids rolled a Jeep Wrangler that had a factory "roll bar" in it. At least one of the kids was killed, and the family sued Jeep because the so-called "roll bar" failed to provide roll-over protection.

Bookmarked. Thanks. Unfortunately, your map tells me I shouldn't open the door to my house.

I don't think you need a three position switch. If the TCU loses power, the tranny defaults to starting in first and skipping second (IIRC -- check the FSM for AW4 diagnostics). So I think all your switch has to do is interrupt power to one side of the 1-2 solenoid.

You don't need the torque converter to lock up around town or on a trail. On the highway, the lockup improves gas mileage and reduces heat build-up in the tranny and tranny fluid. Back in the days of the old XJ forum )the predecessor to NAXJA) there was a guy by the name of Frank Swygert who ran a Hornet with an XJ drive train. He had it wired up so he controlled the AW4 manually with a 6-position rotary switch -- just click-click-click to run up through the gears.

For less than the cost of the materials to throw at a 3-D printer you can probably get a pre-made aluminum adapter for putting a two-barrel carburetor on a one-barrel manifold. You might have to drill some new mounting holes, but that's nothing. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Trans-Dapt-2025-Carburetor-Adapter/dp/B000N8GTL8/ref=sr_1_33?dchild=1&hvadid=77996736689548&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=carburetor+adapter&qid=1605654219&sr=8-33

Being back was short-lived. I'm back again ... again. And things are still a bit wonky, so I don't know how long it will last or if it's going to be intermittent and/or extremely slow. I have my fingers crossed.

So your plan is to give an MJ to anybody who moves there?

But if we all move to Guam the island may get overloaded and capsize. Yes, a United States congressman said that.

The AX-15 wasn't used from '86 thru '92, it was only used from '89 thru '92. The AW4 automatic will function just fine without the TCU. In fact, pulling the fuse to disable the TCU is part of the diagnostics described in the factory service manual. You will have to shift it manually, and it will be missing one gear -- I don't recall offhand if that's first or second. If you get a wiring diagram, you can rig a simple toggle switch for the torque converter lockup solenoid.

The YJ Wranglers ran the carbureted 4.2L until '91 or so. It should be easy enough to find a wiring diagram for an AMC YJ. The MJ auto transmission has its own computer (TCU), so all you need is to provide a way for it to be powered up.

I'm baaaaack. I haven't seen anything of a crew that was supposed to make the permanent repair, and I haven't had any further communication from the cable company. It's working -- at least for now -- so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Heh, heh -- The phone tech said that, since the damage was outside the house, the repair wouldn't cost anything to me. He said in the past, when he found obvious damage by an outside entity, he would report it to his supervisor so the phone company could charge whoever did the damage. I guess this isn't the first encounter with the cable company, because he said he wasn't even going to bother making note of it because the cable company never pays.

I've considered satellite Internet, but nobody who has it is really happy with it. Speeds are slow, and rain or snow blocks the signal.

Been there, done that. Heater core. Short term work-around, since you're in Los Angeles and probably don't urgently need the heater, would be to disconnect the two hoses from the hearter core under the hood and just connect the two ends together, bypassing the heater.

I may be a bit scarce for awhile. We had another [very minor, IMHO] weather event here on Wednesday. From my home office, it looked like a strong breeze with a few minutes of rain. Nonetheless, it took down trees all over town (same as a month ago -- you'd think between that and the utility companies' having trimmed trees all summer long there wouldn't be anything left to fall down) and I lost my Internet. The cable company came in Thursday and made a half-assed interim repair, so I have some connecticity -- but it's about as slow as my old DSL line, and reliability is questionable. And, for good measure, the cable repair managed to zap my landline telephone. The phone repair guy was here this morning. He found that the cable crew had cut the phone line, in two places. So the phone is repaired, but the cable company can't get a crew here to make a permanent repair to the Internet service for two to three weeks. Sheesh!

There's a difference between "having served" (past tense) and "serving" (present tense). I would contact your county and let them know that you are currently on call for federal jury duty and request to be excused from county jury duty for that reason.
