This has been posted before on this board. But still funny.

Did you really just ask that? :rotfl2:

Hey, CW, might want to eliminate your password from that post

It should be obvious, it makes you breakfast. :brows:

My search took about 6 months to find a 6cyl AX-15 at the right price. I didn't want the BA10. On one that I looked at the guy wanted 4k for an 89 with an old clutch, the BA10 that had a leaky output seal and rear main seal leak, and he said the reason for his pricing was because it had fresh paint. :nuts: Hold out, you'll find one eventually and it will be worth the wait. :wavey:

My trans was rebuilt about a year ago, so it should still be in good shape. I have no idea what fluid was put in after the rebuild (I didn't do it as it was beyond my ability at the time) but it is about time to change out the oil, and I had no idea what to put in it. I don't really want to rebuild the trans again because of eaten synchros, so I am hoping that GL5 fluid wasn't put in after the rebuild.

I'm pretty confused at this point. I've found many contradicting statements on this matter. I'll stop by Pro Jeep on my way home on Tuesday and see what they have to say about it.

Not possible. Without the ball nut you wouldn't have any steering. The ball nut is what the worm shaft turns inside to move the sector (pitman) shaft left or right. The power steering fluid does push against the ball nut to help push the nut forward and back (giving power steering) but is a needed component even without power steering. Maybe it was the poppet valve that you are speaking of that regulates the fluid flow so it can only go in one direction. Without the poppet valve, the fluid can flow anywhere and in any direction, assuming that the spool valve is not being influenced by the power steering pump. This diagram shows what I am talking about: http://www.tpub.com/content/armyordnance/OD1007/OD10070019.htm

Spool valve.

Read in the owners manual that I need 75w-90 GL-5 grade lube. But I remember reading somewhere on here that it changed due to synchro problems with that lube, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I put 75w-90 into my trans or is there a different fluid I should use?

if you go with JCRoffroad there is a comancheclub 5% discount. EDIT: Did a little search and found the coupon code.

Budget boost with coil spacers and extended leaf shackles.

I thought the same thing. But it doesn't have the same front bumper that Pats MJ has,and where in different states.

Looks like a decent MJ at a pretty good price all things considered... http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/1385933926.html If I only had the money, time, and space...

Jenny Creek is open, I ran it twice this year with different clubs. There is a tippy section that has gotten pretty spooky just after a creek crossing.

And finally....

Here are my pics...

Thanks Pete. I just got a pm from him a minute ago...

Sent a PM to Rick with no response yet. Last minute trips are a PIA to put together. I haven't had any interest yet so I am moving it to tomorrow, the 20th. The plan is to run Illinois Gulch.

Yeah, I've run slaughterhouse too many times this year though (going on 3 times now) because of how close to the house it is. I think I want something more difficult/ different.

Want to get out this weekend on the 19th (Saturday) open to suggestions as to what trail, but I need to test out my new Mud Terrains.

The only clunker I've done so far is a Astro Van. The dealer GM pulled it outside and just punched the throttle. Threw a piston threw the hood, and destroyed the drivers side seat :brows: . He had to go change his drawers. :rotf:

I'd love to make it, but unfortunately that would be too far of a drive for me for a meet and greet.

If your selling that bed mat, I'm interested.

Thanks for posting that, it will be a great help. Sorry to Pete and the Mods for putting this in the wrong section, I wasn't sure if it was for tech or general talk since it wasn't a specific question.
