Sir Sam

245/70/16 will fit no problems. 245/75/16 will probably rub depending on the amount of lift, and you would probably want a WJ control arm for the drivers side if you don't have aftermarket control arms. I had to trim on the bumper end cap a little too:

Tell that to all the TDI diehard owners out there. I think a 2L TDI patriot could be a good seller.

Not bad for what you got. Maybe throw on some 2500 mirrors? Or wait for some nice heated mirrors. Lots of 97+ donors around here, what do you need for the door and how much is it worth to you? I'm going to the junkyards tomorrow so let me know asap. The real score you got was the fenders and header panel, those are super hard to come by, doors are more common.

http://colorado4wheel.com/images/jeepwheels/wheelsindex.html Pretty complete, I still need to finish up with the WK, KK, and start a JK, XK, MK, MJ and WK2 page, I'm not sure if I will ever make a YJ guide. Feel free to email me with any corrections etc, my email is on the guide. I could use info on the factory backspacing as I haven't filled that in for most wheels, but I think its pretty much all the same for all wheels of the same size.

Tuesday, March 1, at 4:00 PM CST my Jeep turned 11. She seems so grown up now!

I made a BBQ brisket sandwich with sweet onion on a foccachia roll. Topped off later with a MOJO:

$3.10 now.

Maybe, but there has been a shift in that image recently. I would point towards evidence from the small Diesel KJ and WK production runs for the US. Plus with Sergio Marchionne tending the helm this may mean different things for future diesel prospects. However, we can all look at the latest allpar news and see the same rambling rumors, the latest two bit line that might have something interesting in it. But here is something concrete and tangible, that appears to have passed most people by. I'm not sure what it means, but you have to admit that owning 50% of the company that makes the diesel engines you use worldwide has to mean something. For example, the CRD JK is a $1500 option in Europe. The CRD KK is a $4000 option in Australia. When the CRD KJ was sold in the US it was a $3000 option(which used CRD's are selling for typically $3000-3500 over used gasser KJs). So what if the CRD option on a nice new KK or JK(since they use the same engines) was $1500? In a time of rising fuel costs(because they are going up, and will be high again soon) having a smaller diesel SUV may once again be appealing to the "common folk". Mercedes has bumped up diesel sales in the US, Audi is selling diesels for the first time in 25 years in the US. And the TDI Jetta's cost only $1250 more than the gasser, and the dealers cannot keep em on the lots. I've you ask me I think the US market is prime for a diesel SUV like the KK in about 1-1.5 years(about the time it would take for certification). I'm thinking this move by Fiat is an indication of them wanting to increase diesel sales by lowering costs of production.

Can't believe we haven't talked about this: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9LAMJFG1.htm So Fiat buys 50% of VM from Penske. I think this signals a clear move on fiat/chryslers part to push for more diesels into the product lineup. I think part of this may come out of the fallout from the mercedes OM642 no longer being considered for the new Grand Cherokee due to the high purchase cost from mercedes. Since the VM 3L is being certified in the WK2 I think this marks an effort to lower costs from buying the engine from a third party. Though I'm not sure how much owning half a company will reduce the cost of buying engines from that company. Hopefully this could also signal that other diesels will make it into the NA market.

All hoods 87-01 are interchangeable. (older hoods have an additional nutzert for the older style retracting light thing.

if you want a good penatrant use aero kroil, everyone calls it kroil. its in a orange can and claims to creep down to one millionth of an inch if used properly (apply a few times a day, a few days before, but just waiting 30 mins does a decent job) its what we use on all the industrial jobs i work at. beats the crap outta the pb blaster junk and wd40 he was joking. :thumbsup: meaning that there's so little rust that even wd40 would work. Actually I doubt I would need WD40 on those, it would make it easier, but not necessary. I did. On this one anyhow. Your posts are always interesting. And satirical. Sometimes even informative. Oh you! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

No one ever gets my satire.

its awfully blue where you live.

Wash the underbody prior to garage storage.

Ya, maybe I should give up on it now and part it out. :grrrr:

As you can see the exhaust is really rusty, it might even take some WD40 to get those exhaust bolts out. Note the WJ control arm here:

I live in colorado and don't ski. Go figure.

Paid 3.03 today. :shake:

I think tomorrow I will take some pics of the bottom side of my 2000 XJ to make you guys cry. Here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28870

The undisclosed location known as the Jeep vault/tent.

LOL, trust us that won't last long. Welcome to the site.

No, THIS is a nice XJ:

Jesus, did you dig that thing out of the bottom of the atlantic? I don't know what you guys are doing wrong, you undo the three bolts holding the hub in, and then you pull the hub out, generally its easier if you undo the nut first so when you pull the hub the axle will slide out at the same time.
