  1. I *think* I can send you a non-functioning MJ SB one for the cost of shipping. I just need to dig around in the shed but I'm pretty sure I've got it and didn't throw it out.
  2. Does he make MJ sliders now? I have AJ's rails on my XJ, good guy, good product, honest price. :thumbsup:
  3. PM'd 8)
  4. Hard to find and I can't wheel again until I get one. 1989 MJ 4x4 SB 4.0L 18 gal. if any of that matters, not sure that it really does. I'll take a sending unit alone or sending unit & fuel pump. Don't really need it but I'll take the whole gas tank if it's local and in good shape. I'm in Mass 01702 Thanks!
  5. I just did mine about a month ago with 20% film. 1 roll did all 7 windows for about $15. I think they came out great. I've also had windows tinted professionally on 2 vehicles, one came out amazingly perfect and the other not so good and 2 windows needed to be redone within a month. On my MJ I pulled the door glass and did them inside, that way I was able to extend the tint all the way edge to edge to hopefully reduce the chance of it peeling up when the windows are rolled up & down...so far so good. On the back glass I made templates out of poster board and cut the film inside. The back windows have 1/2" wide dark strips on either side that give you some leeway with positioning the tint. Remove the latch, don't try to trim around it. Clean everything really well first, use a razor blade on the glass and a lint free cloth. Then use a spray bottle filled with water and tiny bit of dish soap and spray it generously, both the windows and the film as you peel the backing away. That step is especially important to prevent bits of airborne dust from getting sttracted to the film's adhesive. You can slide the film around and into position once on the glass with everything good and wet. Then use a quality soft plastic squeegee and take your time squeezing the water out to the edges. Spray both sides of the film to help the squeegee slide better. I'll post a pic when I get home. Like anything else if you take your time and concentrate on the quality of your work you can do a near professional job yourself.
  6. Awesome project thread :clapping: Can't wait to see it on the trail, we should get a New England MJ only run together sometime :yes: I first saw that picture on JU(?) about 4-5 years ago and I've been quietly copying you (minus the fabrication skills) ever since :eek: My MJ's now on Q's with a 97+ front clip, center console and buckets (still looking for decent 97+ doors) and my XJ has the billet baja rims now too same as yours. :rotf:
  7. Garmin Map60csx Don't use it for directions - just logging trails (and as a speedometer since I guess I yanked the speedo cable on a stick). Has excellent reception, I use an external antenna anyways out of habit. 2GB MicroSD holds the topo for all of New England and probably more but that's all I have on it. Keeps 20 tracklogs which is better than my last Garmin (10) but I don't understand why they can't just give me 100 tracks or more, that's the only nitpick I have. Real nice unit, easy to use and works well.
  8. mines just broken in and running smooth at 235k
  9. Ooooh :drool: and it's local to me too :no:
  10. Rusty's shipping has always seemed a little high to me You can get a piece of 3" exhaust tube and stick it on the end of the stock intake tube and clamp the cone filter to that. Stick a mini filter on the valve cover. Works.
  11. That's friggin awesome! I'm speechless :eek: My Duc is all alone in the garage, the Jeeps stay outside...
  12. Most fire extinguisher service places will fill them. For a 10lb tank the price I pay just went up this year to $20 from $15 last year. I trail lead alot of runs which means I share air alot too...I'm refilling my 10lb tank 3-4 times a year (about every 4-5 runs)...I just bought a VIAir OBA setup with an electric compressor because of that and the $5 increase.
  13. I have a Thrush glasspack from Summit, similar to a Cherry Bomb I think. Nice slim durable muffler, doesn't get hung up on or crushed by rocks and sounds great IMO and it's hard to beat the price. Only drawback is I don't think it spark arrests but I think the cat takes care of that anyways.
  14. Familliar rock huh? :cheers:
