  1. Thanks for posting the pic JeepDoggie. :D I have the simple fixed light w. no cord on it - about useless. I like the Chebby light better. And Tim, best wishes on the back surgery. Hope it fixes it good as new mate.
  2. Can you post a pic of how your underhood lights are set up Tim?
  3. I ASSume you're in the Ft Collins city limits? Chicken licenses :hmm: , just another innovative way for the local bureaucrats to collect your $$. At least you're legally allowed to raise chickens on your property. But publishing it in the local rag - don't see any point in that. Someone must be abusing it by maybe selling chickens commercially and someone else is complaining?
  4. I've done this twice (both houses in VA too Jeff :D ). It was the "installment" type construction loan; complete one phase then the bank releases $$ for the next phase. It never goes right even with the best of contractors. Snags like weather, sick employees, etc. etc. hold you up constantly. There were many MANY all nighters finishing up something then going to work the next day, over and over again. Managed to complete both on time, but not w/o a lot of stress and pain. NEVER AGAIN!! Every one since then has been a completed turn-key house. Not trying to discourage you, but it's really a major PITA. Good luck mate, hope it works for ya! :cheers:
  5. Correct. The mercury switch is internal in the light housing on mine. I also put in an inline manual switch just in case the mercury goes south. :cheers:
  6. Got that wrong. :brows: Yeah, the Eagles are playing prolly the best football in the conference now. New Prediction: Eagles - Steelers in the Show! :cheers:
  7. Well well. Indy and Tennessee are gone - the Steel-men should slide right into the AFC championship now. :cheers:
  8. My daughter is attending UA under a USAF ROTC engineering scholarship. She loves the ROTC part, is a great cadet according to the Det, but is less than enthusiastic about the engineering field. The Det is urging her to sign up for pilot training after commissioning, and she likes it so she can change her major. The AF is trying to get more females in as pilots as I'm told there aren't many. You say you're a NAV and are committed for 7, so what other options are there for her besodes pilot training? I've tried to find more info on the web on these programs, but haven't had much luck.
  9. That's what I did for my old bench seat. It required a heavy duty machine, so I brought the covers to a local shop. It was a very reasonable cost to have done.
  10. No worries, I damn sure will not. Don't think anyone else will either. Can we put this to bed now? :D
  11. I don't know JT - looks like a lot of MIC (Made in China) bling bling alum conductor stuff made for mega audio systems. I'd pass. :D When I upgraded my electrical system ( 136A alt, electric fans, H4 lights, and power stuff) I got a complete set of mains cables here: http://www.geocities.com/JeepI6Power/price.html Jon has been making and selling high quality cable and electrical system protection devices for years, has a great rep and provides super support. :cheers:
  12. :agree: If it's working as it should no need to get rid of it.
  13. I put some new shims behind the LCAs to give me a little more caster and tweaked my steering wheel back to center by adjusting the DRAG LINK collar. :rotf:
  14. Read through this first - it will answer most of your questions: CLICK Here Also, what year MJ are you working with?
  15. Was this one of the Reflexxion cowl hoods?
  16. Prolly had a smaller lift - a mere 2-1/2" front, 3" back. Just enough for the 31s. :D
  17. :agree: Verified this recently when I installed an adj. trackbar to center my front axel. After the install, the steering wheel was right off center by about 45 degrees. Brought it to a friend who has an alignment shop. The toe was spot-on on the computer as it was before the trackbar install, and I verified it with equal measurements w. a tape measure between the rear and front sides of the tires just for my own amusement. We then adjusted the drag link to center the steering wheel, took about two complete turns, then re-checked the toe. The computer showed no change in the toe; the tape showed a 1/16" change (eyeball cal is relative :D ). No toe correction was necessary, I trusted the computer more. Maybe after three turns or more of the drag link SLIGHT toe adjustment might be necessary, but it would be neglible. Yeah Eagle, do not attempt to align by removing the pitman arm from the steering box.
  18. Makes no sense to me. :nuts: EDIT: Makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me.
  19. It should be if all you adjusted was the drag link. :D Here's the alignment procedure from the FSM. Notice adjusting the drag link to center the steering wheel is the last step because it does not affect the toe: 1. Center front wheels straight ahead and lock steering wheel in centered position. Measure toe and compare to specifications. See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. 2. Loosen tie rod adjustment sleeve clamp bolts. See Fig. 3 . Rotate sleeve to adjust toe to specification. See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . After adjustment, position clamp bolts so threaded ends face rearward and are angled upward. Tighten sleeve clamp to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . 3. If necessary, steering wheel can be centered by adjusting the drag link adjustment sleeve. When adjustment is complete, position sleeve as described earlier and tighten to specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
  20. I think I've posted this before JT? Since these pics I've blackened out the JeeP logo and circle engraving. This wheel looks almost like the leather Jeep wheel only a bit stouter.
  21. When I got my rig, it had been lifted ~4 inches, and the steering wheel was 180 degrees off. I actualy like it that way, but I didn't like the fact that the turning radius was affected. After readjusting, I thought of pulling the wheel and putting it back "desert style" but I've heard that pulling a Comanche wheel is a big PITA. Basically, I'm just too lazy. Actually it's quite easy Jim with any standard steering wheel puller. And since our columns are GM Saginaw, we can select from 100s of pre-airbag steeering wheels that were found on various GM cars and trucks throughout the years. I've had a Z28 "rope" wheel for awhile and now I have a Buick Turbo Regal wheel on it, both with JeeP centercaps. I don't care for the regulation Jeep wheels. :cheers:
  22. Here's another option: CLICK Here
  23. For that matter, any early GM w. the 3-speed auto shift indicator will work since our steering columns are GM Saginaw.
  24. You could do this: or this. These were on some 86 and earlier MJ/XJ models.
  25. :agree: Utah should be #1. I wish they would fix this once and for all so there's no question at the end of the season. 'Course I wish pigs could fly too so I could shoot them down; never happen. And if I were betting on games this season I might have been unhappy with the results overall too, but maybe not as unhappy as people betting on the Big 12. :brows:
