    I do believe thats a light switch.
  3. Had the FE exam this morning so I was busy all day. But I made arrangements to have my friend enter the CRD for me. Printed off a couple of pictures of the rollover repair, taped em to the inside window, and left it in the lot at 7am. (rollover repair: http://colorado4wheel.com/images/libby/ ... epair.html ) Came back out from the test at 3:45 to find the Jeep moved and a note on the windshield. Turns out I won the truck category, gonna get a certificate and a $15 prize. Not bad for not being there. Makes the second year in a row I've won a category, last year it I won "Modern domestic" in my 2000 XJ. Woohoo!
  4. Why don't you take a look at the cost next time your at the station and do some math. Around here diesel is about 10% more expensive than gas. You generally see about 30% better mileage. Even when diesel was 5.50 a gallon and gas was 4.50 a gallon, thats 20% more expensive, still see a savings of about 10%. I went and looked up prices in long island, for several stations I found that diesel was 3.10 and 2.80 for gas. Thats 10% more per gallon for diesel. Oh, and if you weren't saving that much more the diesel market share in europe wouldn't be 55%. One of the reasons diesels don't have a bigger market share is because Americans are generally misinformed and only see the price at the pump, and can't do the math to figure that even if it costs more per gallon, its still cheaper per mile. Plus, diesels burn cleaner than gasoline engines do(look at weighted brake specific emissions), so as a diesel owner you get to look down your nose at all those polluting hybrids.

    This thread has gotten dangerously off topic. to bring it more in line, boobs:
  6. The VM 2.8/2.5 is a good unit. The newest Panther rendition is even better. And yes, the 2.8 is an adapted industrial unit like the 6bt and it shows in the design. Love the pitter patter of my CRD.
  7. That better, but could you please photoshop in a NSG370 as well?
  8. Search for the mercedes with the bluetec, you'll find more source material to work with.
  9. done. :D Clearly, you have not, because no one would would turn a CRD into that abomination.
  10. Could you also photoshop in a CRD while your at it?
  11. sweet deal, diesels rock. Just spent all day presenting my diesel vs SVO emissions data for my senior design project, then went out and poured some SVO into my tank and drove home. Getting 24.5 MPG @ 80 MPH in a diesel jeep is what its all about. Ya, diesels rock.
  12. Why do you keep going to JF?
  13. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=5 But then again, you should know that already.
  14. needs more lift and smaller wheels. oh, and it needs more OD, steel bumpers, and a diesel

    New tires:

    Doing just fine, ride is kinda rough with them compared to the old tires, but they are load range E, what should you expect? At Costco a few weeks back a guy on his smoke break out by the tire service was looking at the Jeep, said they were awesome tires, "you get the strongest sidewall and the all terrain tread, its the best of both!" Haven't heard one report of any failure of them. One guy had problems with one, manufacturing defect, but the company sent him a new one right away.
  16. Power seats were optional(and I can't recall ever seeing sports with them personally), cruise control was an option, the overhead console was an option(very rare in sports). I don't see any indication this was a fleet vehicle at all(many fleet vehicles are SE's, though there are also sports, freedoms and limiteds). Course this is all academic, I don't think your buying it anyways.
  17. Would you even say, its error prone?
  18. And I don't know any hymnals, but when I searched those lyrics all I got were merle haggard references. When I first read it I was guessing that was supposed to be some sort of church song, but the first page of google results showed all merle haggard references. Not saying it isn't a hymnal, but the first page of google didn't tell me it was. please don't hate me, not a @zz hole here but just saying, "Goggle" does not know everything. :thumbsup: That is defiantly a old church hymn Goggle's know all, because they see all. Think about it.

    Men vs. Women:

    Creative Writing professor told his class one day: “Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting next to his or her desk. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.” The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: THE STORY: (first paragraph by Rebecca) At first, Laurie couldn’t decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question. (second paragraph by Bill ) Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. “A.S. Harris to Geostation 17,” he said into his transgalactic communicator. ” Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far…” But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship’s cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit. (Rebecca) He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. “Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel,” Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. “Why must one lose one’s innocence to become a woman?” she pondered wistfully. ( Bill ) Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu’udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dimwitted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty through the Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu’udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized even poor, stupid Laurie. (Rebecca) This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent. ( Bill ) Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. ” Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of ****ING TEA??? Oh no, what am I to do? I’m such an air headed bimbo. I guess I’ve read too many Danielle Steele novels!” (Rebecca) As$hole. ( Bill ) b!tch! (Rebecca) F-UCK YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!! ( Bill ) In your dreams, Ho. Go drink some tea. (TEACHER) A+ - I really liked this one.

  21. Don't gotta know the song, its pretty clear that "and he" was transformed to "andy," I just wondering where that was from. My first guess was some sort of church music, but apparently it was not. we sing it in my church :dunno: You sing country songs in church?
  22. I'd agree, but this seems to be a very quality full repaint, all the jambs are sprayed well, the fenders where removed. The paint appears to be of good quality with a smooth finish and no orange peel, that type of repaint cost $$$, really, as much money as the jeep is worth. Plus it also explains the lack of badges, simply didn't want to purchase new ones to install, maybe the owner liked it badgeless.

  24. too bad its not near me.
  25. Oh and look here, it was subtle, but the engine bay was green. Image Not Found So this was a very through color change, which explains the incorrectly painted grill, and the lack of badges. I guess the roof rack could have been removed too.
