I like to make an 8 Shot Expresso drink at home (I have one of the semi-fancy makers), and then a big 24 oz coffee that gets me thru the AM... then a Monster Drink or two between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, and then I'm good for the rest of the day.... Not always, but when I'm tired that get's me rolling...

No Hurricanes in California either... Everyone that doesn't live here whines about the Earthquakes, but in 10 years, I've felt 2 or 3 little ones... you've had 2 or 3 Hurricanes/Tropical storms in the past few weeks... Oh yah, no Humidity or Bugs.... OR Rust on our MJ's... Just 5x housing costs...and a bunch of hippie liberals (sorry I forgot about the no politics)... at least one of which can be more or less ignored... /I'm just Sayin' SW2

How about a pic from laying under the truck looking up with the tranny still installed... I'm going to see that more often than one removed and or from the side... SW2

What's even Odd'er... I did a Google for "hustler" and came up with a bunch of Pr0n... hmmm... I like the Crane/Riddler look vs the Solid/Rockcrusher, but not sure if I get a vote...

With or without Brackets? I didn't weigh mine, but 40lbs seems heavy, even with the brackets...maybe I'm just super strong!!!

...and here... http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/te ... dSeals.htm

I know the question started out about building your own, but... I have SOLID's on my TJ Now.... I'm thinking they will get moved over to the MJ... For the TJ, I like the Riddler's, Or for something with more Beef! http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/cat ... -p-86.html

Wade1 I'm pretty sure did... Check his Project Thread... Wade2... Not So Much... I'm pretty sure I'm having Engine and Tranny problems (both still run but seldom sound or "feel" real happy), so I couldn't bring myself to spend the $$$ yet. SW2

Just a bunch of Hippies... bunch of dudes from this area (Santa Cruz, CA) make a huge deal about it every year... Not sure I really understand, or care too... I might be the only Red State guy in this entire county... P.S. Was kidding about the Hippies... sort of...

I actually like that position better than the original two options... should look nice! SW2

I have ARB's on the TJ and have personally seen ARB Airlines patched in less than 5 minutes on the trail (not mine). With that also being said, if you are careful about running the lines, the chances of tearing are minimal... If your OX cable gets kinked/pinched/smashed, the repair is something more than 5 minutes I would guess (again if you install them cleanly, the chances of that are probably slim as well). At least with the OX you don't have to worry about the compressor. I didn't like the idea of the OX handles (which I personally thought were gaudy) sticking out somewhere in my dash/console and prefer the Switches I use to enable/disable my ARB's. Probably can't go wrong either way...

88-98, at least...

Rear (toward the Windshield)... But to "look right", they really need to be Chromed before you install em... :roll:

My 89 Pioneer has/had Hockey Sticks, 3 Spoke Steering Wheel and had Idiot Light Dash until I swapped it out... but I guess I don't have Accent colored flares (just white), so maybe the combo of those things is what you are talking about Eagle... /just sayin' SW2

Was nicer than mine (by a good bit) that I paid $2K for with 206K miles (with suspension that was shot, and a pretty tired engine)...I think some of the guys here are "spoiled" by good deals... I personally don't think $3K is out of the question if it were me spending the $$$.

I haven't slept in over a week pouring over my "adjustments" and draft strategy, and mock drafts preparing for this league... . . . ;)

You actually have a pretty good team Pete. Keep your eyes open the first few weeks and pick up a couple free agents for some of the dead weight and you could do very good. Nah, Pete's Team Blows, your just trying to over-inflate his hopes... Crush his spirit!!! This is serious business... SW2

I got mine on Amazon (Free Shipping/No Tax) Upper - $43.20 /ea http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C542NY Lower - $46.69 /ea http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C57XHQ :cheers:

Purple Firefish, but he didn't make it... I think my Flame Angel (the Orange/Red/Black) was beating him up and he jumped out of the tank one evening. http://www.fishlore.com/profile-purplefirefish.htm Sounds like a rough neighborhood in there. They are known to be "jumpers"... I don't have a hood over the top of my tank, but have the plastic grid thing that you sometimes see covering light fixtures. That keeps most of the jumpers in, but sometimes one REALLY wants out... Sw2

Pat, you get your livestock local? I've got almost all my stuff online and had it shipped with pretty good results. Really the only thing I have in my tank that is from a local shop is one of my clowns. Everything else, including all my inverts, live rock, fish, etc, were all done online... Saltwaterfish.com and LiveAquaria.Com for everything.

46 Gal Bow Front, bout 75-80 lbs of Premium Fiji Live Rock, 25-30lbs or so crushed base (don't remember really what it was). I have a Remora Pro Skimmer and some type of Bio Wheel (can't remeber which and I'm too lazy to go downstairs too look). I'm considering moving to a small fuge/sump tank under my base and do the plumbing to get some of that stuff down below. I only have medium lighting 2x96W Compact Florecent, Coralife Lunar Aqualight, so have only a few medium light mushrooms and easy stuff. I don't have the $400-$500 to get the MH or T5 lighting for the bright corals. I've had the tank up and going 3.5 years... (2) Occelaris Clownfish Flame Angel <-My personal fave and highest $$$ fish 6 Line Wrasse Diamond Goby Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber (2) Peppermint Shrimp Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp Quite a bit of Hairy Mushroom (probably too much) Toadstool Leather Green Ricordia A few other Brownish Polyps A bunch of Crabs/Snails,Hitch-Hiker Starfish, etc... I acutally don't have any recent pics...here is one from last Nov before some of the additions (and subtractions)

I try to tell the wife that all the time... :eek: Not officially until the 25th, but more or less... my new Director is on Vacation, my old Boss is on Vacation, so I'm or less running both groups and getting to know the new people... and figuring out how I can justify the "telecommute" for 1-2 days a week (since I only live 1.5 miles from the office, the commute is going to be a hard sell!)... Still don't know how much extra $$$ I'm going to bring in... It never really came up, and I felt "greedy" asking... I was already overpaid for the work I was doing before, so maybe I'll at least earn what I make now. Wade

ahh, the superwade deucy. good to hear from you. I have to make an appearance every now and then... more dramatic that way...
