  1. LOL And six tires? :hmm: Why six? I do pit support work down at the Baja 500 and 1000 for BFG Pits. I was due four tires from 2011 due to an oversight. When I re-ordered them in December 2012, they asked me if I wanted the two tires that I earned from working the Baja 1000 last November. I said "Sure".
  2. Not mine...but here's an MJ serving as a parade vehicle in Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja Mexico. And my truck after picking up six tires at the UPS station.
  3. Only 87-89 on the Cherokee. Comanches had them til 92.
  4. I just used one bulb in each lamp. Of course, in the unused holes, I inserted the empty sockets to protect against moisture getting in. I guess that would bother people with OCD, but it works for me.
  5. Bugatti Veyron on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

    My friend suggested that I do that. But, 1) I don't have a compelling story; 2) I'd be afraid to take it off-road with a nice paint job; 3) They get thousands of submissions; and 4) I just don't want to be on TV. :D

    I know. I don't think I can bring myself to actually wear it.

    Don, here's one of his sketches that was hanging on the wall.

    When I told him I had a Jeep Comanche, he said, "Wow, you don't see many of those around" and went on to say how his buddy had a brand new one back in the 80s. And he was the coolest guy. There were some other visitors who were bothering him while he was working and asking him stupid questions, and having him sign multiple items. But he was always cordial and smiled throughout. I told him that I drove a truck for the Lowe's store in Irvine and that some co-workers had told me that they had seen him in the store. He said, "Yeah, I was just in there this morning" and told me where he lives.

    I was at Chip Foose's shop today and he sketched an MJ on a shirt for me. He did this sketch in about a minute.
  11. Probably two different unit bearing assemblies.
  12. Grab the yoke and see if it moves in and out excessively. If so, the pinion bearing may be bad. I had that happen to me.
  13. Sure thing. Didn't want you to pull on the handle and give yourself another black eye.
  14. To avoid falling backwards or hitting yourself in the face, just push the button in with one hand and tap upward on the handle with a rubber mallet. Just takes a couple of light taps.
  15. Haven't done too much. Haven't decided whether to downsize the truck now or wait until after the NAXJA Fall Fling in Moab in October. I recently got rid of the seven shades of gray primer. I was going to paint it white, but opted instead for white primer. Easier prep, easier touchup, and I like the flat finish. I will continue to do what little bodywork that's left and eventually get a real paint job. But this will do for now. Just wheeled up in Big Bear and suffered a little damage on the bed corner below the left tail light.
  16. Your grille is upside down :) (surprised no one else has said anything). Truck looks good. Mine is also from Vegas.
  17. Most CB radios are obtrusive. So I got an all-in-one Cobra, that doesn't take up much room. Don't know where I'm gonna put the mobile ham, though.
  18. Along the same line, how about Buford?
  19. Yeah, you just have to mount the door, then eyeball where the striker needs to be. You can use a Sharpie to mark the spot. And when you take the interior b-pillar panel off, there is plenty of room to reach in there to get a nut on the backside.
  20. I was born and raised in Louisville and my parents went to UofL. So...I'm rooting for the Cardinals.
  21. Didn't have to call. The stickers arrived today. Thanks Spence!
  22. Yes, the numbers have to line up with the bottom tine of the hold-down fork.
  23. I bought the JEEP letters and Comanche door stickers on March 20. Haven't seen them yet, even though they got my money. Guess I'll be calling them this week.
  24. A 31 will fit. I've gotten a 33 under there.
