Sir Sam

right, I don't know what to make of that. Regardless, unless this comanche landed on the moon, it ain't worth 5k.

A green one on ebay? They were never sold in the US, even if you knew someone you couldn't get one. It just didn't happen. There was no special order. (but mistakes happen, like how I got my 2.5 CRD)

I paid $2100 for my 2000 Cherokee with 65k miles: :clapping:

Dude I had the same thought, those are some puny brakes, hell the brakes on my 19 year old nissan 300zx are more impressive than that.

No idea, just found the pic online.

.......without wheels

Nice.

Well I got a call back from Vizio after sending in the pictures of the screen, they offered an onsite repair or a refurbed unit. I opted for the refurbed unit, seems like it will take a little longer, but the case on mine has some scratches and stuff on it, so hopefully I will walk away with a better looking unit. Woohoo! I love the sams club markdown area!

I know you are.....bastard. i knew i'd hear from you :rotfl2: come and get it, for you, 20 bux. :yes: Plus 3 days of my life and $250 in gas......IF i had a vehicle I could go get it with.

Yes, that would be a way to mimic the voltage returned, and would work the same way. I was mostly working under the idea of mimicking the resistence of the sender, and letting the gauge do its normal thing. There are probably some other simple ways to go about this too, I just really haven't thought of many alternatives yet, I mostly just want something easy to implement and get a working gauge.

Nothing, I was only joking about the 23" monitor not being good enough.

I know you are.....bastard.

I can't make heads or tails of those pictures with the lame ricer-like angles on everything.

yota tech would be a good place to ask

$700 is not a great deal, they had another that came with everything, but had a 3-4" scratch in the screen, $250 from like 800. Sometimes even the markdown stuff at sams club is more expensive than where you can buy new online elsewhere.

Ya, the RROD is such a common issue that microsoft is trying to make up for all the failures, I have heard from some people that even secondhand, used, out of warrantee 360's will get replaced with a refurbed unit from MS. Guy on another jeep forum got one for free that was RROD, called up MS, got it replaced for free. Pretty nice score!

Sams club markdown.....they have some great @#$%ing markdowns if your the one to find em. They had like 5 or 6 others that day that had been returned. One had a scratched screen, others a damaged case, etc. I think this one had been a display model or something, came with no cables manuals or remotes. I got my blue ray player the same way ($150 from $200 - last one, display model) my stainless steel grill that way($200 from $400 - had been returned, said "left burner" on it, but everything worked just fine. Even though I checked this TV out in the store and everything worked then after getting it home and using it for a little while green lines appeared on the screen. So I called up vizio and am working on a warrantee claim with them. They said they would probably just replace it. Hopefully it all works out.

I don't watch soccer.

Since the old 23" 1080p monitor wasn't cutting it I upgraded it to a 42" 1080p Monitor: The old: The new: And the best deal:

I know you guys have some issues with the new/old gas tank float having different resistances. I am going to have these same issues in my CRD project since I will use my original float with a 02+ TJ gauge cluster. I am wondering if anyone else is interested in contributing to my solution. I was going to make a programmable converter to make the gas gauge read correctly. I was going to use a 16 pin PIC (16F88 probably). Connect two pins to the float connection. (there might be other ways to do this that would work better, or are simpler, or provide infinite resistance) The other 14 pins can be used to provide 14 different resistances. That is, 14 different levels of fuel. (we might find some digitally adjusted POT too, or a different pic might even have that function, more research would be good) That is 100% full. 93% full 86% full 78% full 71% full etc etc etc What that means on your fuel guage is that your needle will jump between 14 different settings, if more were desired we could probably arrange that. In terms of cost, the pic I am thinking of right now costs about $4 each, 5V regulator, couple of adjustable POTs, couple of capacitors, solder wire etc...so it adds up, but for the basic components we could probably put it together for about $15-20. Anyone one interested in buying in on some parts? Any EE's have anything to contribute?

x2, too many damm names for a "shell" though to be fair, camper can sometimes refer to a full blown camper unit.
