Stumpy

i had to winch my in-laws up and out of my driveway the other day after i told them not to pull down it..lol Had about 1/4" of ice with about 7" of snow on it..i don't clear my driveway cuz its a 30* or better slope. Used the TJ to winch them out because i had pretty deep ruts from playin around in the snow and the MJ battery wouldnt jump.. :oops:

This year's SIJA Jeep Jam will be at Wa$#!&a near Farmington, MO on May 2 and 3. Details for pricing will follow at a later date. There is camping available on site. Primitive camping is $5 per night. 20 amp electric site is $12.50 per night and 30 amp electric is $17.50 per night. There are also several motels in the area including Holiday Inn, Tradition Inn and Super 8. More INFO Might be a drive for some of ya but if your close enuf the new park is pretty sweet...lots of granite to play on..lol

102's are 1/4 wave. Just bought one from radio shack a few weeks ago for the TJ and gotta buy the mount so i can put it on the side so i can "fold" it down when needed. I have my crappy 4' glass one for trail rides. Now i just gotta go buy one for the MJ. I think i will mount it on a 1/4" plate by the sliding window since it the center of the jeep. the thing that was hardest to find locally was the HD spring..had my small one on it for about a mile and i thought it was gonna smack the car next to me when i turned.. :oops: :D

Love my TJ sport. I almost bought a Rubi but didn't think they were worth the extra for the 44 front axle, lockers, and 4:1. I don't get to wheel nearly as much as i want so those options would have given me a ROI and i've never needed them(yet). Not sure when i'll get lockers now as i walk though/over obstacles with half the problems many Rubi's have. A lot of the Jeeps capabilities is due to drivers skill, many Rubi owners around here are city types that can't drive and just assume that little button is all they need to gt over something. i normally suggest 1st time TJ owners get a sport or X so they can get used to driving without lockers so they pick their lines better. BTW Rubi's are great as any Jeep they just have more so they cost more....i won't buy a JK just because of the engine.... :mad:

funniest part about that is i would say the same thing...lol

mines pretty easy to figure out if ya ever see me...(5'5", 46" chest and wide shoulders)...lol When i traveled for walmart doing remodels my boss called me Stumpy one day and my roommate kept callin my by it so i just stuck with it. its nice have headroom in the MJ also...lol

i could use one of those too because mine is trashed and the PO hacked it to death!

they look like huge flying squirrels...lol i'd prolly smoke the side on a mountain though..haha

here is a buddy of mines site with many links to 8.8 stuff and other links.... http://joshsjeep.tripod.com/link.htm

what year is it? try this site http://search.ebscohost.com/ auto auto if this don't work i have a few FSM's

i have them on mine. Even with the SOA the rear still sits higher. I'll try to get some measurements for ya soon..haveta do it in between the rain/snow showers..lol

i've also heard that the Renix blocks have a higher nickel content(i think) and that its a denser block and holds up better.

depending on the tire size they will fit. only difference might be the backspacing.

hehe sounds like my timeline..lol

which kit is that? also do you have any pice of the Clayton kit?

here's me from a couple yrs ago..i don't get many pics of me....or me in my JP..lol

ya its pretty easy. if you plan on doing this somewhere warm let me know and i'll help ya...lol i still have a new one in the factory box out in the shed..hehe

is there a pin or allen set screw? i'll have to check mine..i also have a new one in the shed i'll check as i think its got a different handle.

great looking truck Whiteshark!!! 35's ? mine has TJ Sahara flares on it..they were on it when i bought it and i'm thinking about putting stock TJ flares on it because they stick out a little far. Image Not Found

who needs a ramp...lol

love how they tied the rest to the trailer..i guess incase it came loose?!? I'm almost as bad about strapping down a rig..i also have a logging chain around the front axle as a last resort if for some reason the 4-5 straps come loose...lol takes me like 20mins to strap it down.

hehe me too. guess its hard to shock me...lol gives a new meaning to morning breath..hahaha

I have 5.5" RE coils in front and SOA with stock leaves. Clears 315/70r17 (34.5's) BFG's pretty easy with the TJ flares on but it does rub the inner fender wells which i could fix with a small adjustment on my bumpstops. Yes the stock leaves flex pretty good! 34.5's..... 33's.... the flares are Sahara style ones so they are an 1" wider than stock TJ ones.

when i was looking at getting my TJ i looked at the rubi's and decided not to pay the extra $$ for one and i've never regretted it. I have made some rubi owners look silly because by walking through places they got stuck and i don't have lockers just the trash lock in the D44 rear. However one thing i like about the new rubi's is the D44's are supposed to be stronger and the front is a HP44. I'm still not sure the front HP44 is worth the extra $4k. one thing about the new JK's that keep me from considering getting one is i don't like the engine, ya its got more power but its at a higher RPM than the 4.0L and most of the time i get though places below the 3k RPM range.
