I have stumbled across an axle assembly from a '98 Mustang GT, with discs for the MJ. The price is right. ;) I'm trying to find out what is the basic difference between the two axles. Is there any particular difficulty with using a Mustang axle vs. the Explorer axle? 1. Overall width? 2. Axle spline? 3. Misc.? I understand the mustang has 4 control arms which will be cut off for new spring plates. Thanks!

Glad to see that you are coming back. :cheers: My MJ is doing college duty for another year. I'll have the CJ there.

Trailride is this upcoming weekend. We will have some guided trails or feel free to explore with your own group. ;) Feel free to RSVP at your earliest convenience. We want to make sure we have plenty of food for everyone. :thumbsup:

5th Annual IFWDA Ground Hog Day Run @ Haspin Acres Laurel, Indiana. Hosted by Fat Boys Jeepers. 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Look for the shelter and banners. :D Entrance fee into Haspin Acres will be responsibility of attendees Lunch to be provided by FBJ (Change in Menu this year!) Please RSVP to rickandtonireece@yahoo.com . Any questions please give us a call at 765-478-9037 or e-mail. Feel free to check out additional info at www.fatboysjeepers.com All ground rules enforced by Haspin Acres are in effect.

Boy, I lucked out. I had a complete exhaust replaced on my MJ from manifold back for $100.00. It helped since the manager was working on his CJ when I first stopped in for a quote. :clapping: This included 2 1/2" piping (single in/out) and Flowmaster- Series 40. Since comanche didn't have a converter, installation was nice and clean.

A guy in the club replaced his XJ injectors with those out of a 5.0 mustang. He bought them used off of eBay. They were rated at 19lbs. (As with any used injector, the o-rings and pintel caps should be replaced and the injectors cleaned prior to installation.) The main difference that I remember about this swap is that the Ford injectors are more of a one-piece construction instead of the 2 piece the MJ/XJ ones are. Less prone to leakage and a little cheaper than the factory units. Hope this is an option some of you have heard of.

Will there be any special drilling needed or will the clocking ring resolve most issues? Thanks...

CLARIFICATION Entry fee into Haspin is $15.00 per person. For the November 3rd T4T event, if you bring a NEW $10.00 toy with the receipt taped to the box, you will still need to pay $10.00 for the day ($5.00 off admission). This will get you in the park ALONG a with one (1) free raffle ticket and one (1) free meal ticket. For example, if someone has their wife and kids with them, one toy will be OK to get the family a meal ticket as well. With the $10.00 toy price, you are paying an extra $5.00 for entry but, you get free camping along with a free meal ticket and one free raffle ticket. The smile on a kids face for Christmas is worth alot more then $10.00- it's PRICELESS!!!!!

THANKS!!!! :D

Come to The Wayne County 4-H Fairgrounds in Richmond, Indiana and bring your goodies. PLEASE NO COMMERICAL VENDORS. http://www.fatboysjeepers.com/fbj/swapmeet07.pdf

Where else in the state of Indiana are you being given the opportunity to ride on 3500 acres for the day for donating only a $15 toy? You will not find an area in this state with more diverse trails, more beautiful scenery, and did I mention that it is 3500 acres? ;) For more information, contact Rich Reisz rmreisz@psci.net or go to http://www.lastsummer.com/boonie/images/aztecFlyer.pdf to view the official event flyer

A pretty nasty day turned out to be a fun day. Although the open areas were muddy, the trails were challenging.I believe the rain keept a few away from wheelin'- probably at home raking leaves. :nuts: We fed about 60-70 people yesterday. Thanks to Comanchegirl and Comanchero for stopping by to have some of our chili and brownies. Hope you will find some interesting reading material in your goodie bag. :D We are looking at having another wheelin' trip at Haspin for our 5th annual GHD run. I'll keep you posted. I'll try to get some pictures available later, or at least a link to them. :cheers:

Look for the bonfire and the banners hanging from the house/shelter that sits on the right as you drive up the hill. Hopefully you won't miss it. :brows: Hope to see some of you folks at Haspin Saturday. Make sure you check in before you hit the trails. ;)

I saw them at registration. I should have said something but I was busy trying to fix a broken rear disc brake bracket/brake line on the CJ. :headpop: Both were a little muddy with close to 33's and 4"-6" lift's. They must have ran in stock-modified class. I don't believe they were in the green or black groups- modified... Sorry, no pictures.

There MIGHT be one in the cooler with your name on it- gotta show me some love first. ;)
