  1. I can't see your pic, but I used one on mine. Got it from Advance Adapters. The fittings in the back of the master cylinder and slave are held in with a tiny roll pin...just use a small punch (or a finishing nail) and pop them out.
  2. Yeah, not saying that you can't reuse parts in a custom fashion, but I'm just trying to save guys some time and aggravation by trying to use non-AX15 parts in a stock configuration......they just don't work, period. I know, I suffered through it way back when and finally figured out the differences after a billion trips to the junkyard to get the correct parts. There was even a thread on here a few months ago from a member in a similar situation as the OP is now. After 5 pages of us telling the guy what he needed to do, I still don't think he ever figured it out. Anything can be made to work with enough time, imagination, money and fabrication.....but trying to reuse a Peugot crossmember, or an AW4/AX5 one, or any of the other associated bracketry in original mounting locations with an AX15 just ain't gonna work.
  3. You need the AX15-specific crossmemeber as mentioned, plus the AX15 specific mount plate that the mount attaches to. Either MJ or XJ, 2 or 4WD, doesn't matter, they are all the same. You'll also need the AX15-specific shifter assembly, basically everything for the shifter except for the handle part. Don't forget the shifter bracket that bolts to the trans/TC at the flange on the driver's side as well as the tunnel bracket and the shift rod. They are all specific to the AX15 and others will not work, to put it simply. That's if your keeping your shifter all stock, if you go aftermarket then disregard. edit: we really need a sticky for this (if there isn't one already). This topic comes up with some regularity.
  4. Depending on where abouts your talking about Bo, I'll be right there come Saturday. Wife and I are driving down to Hillard FL (actually closer to Folkston GA, about a mile off the St. Mary's river). Friends of ours from Pittsburgh retired last year, bought a huge chunk of (undeveloped) land for DIRT cheap and dropped a modular home on it. This will be our 4th trip down, and the third time driving it. Flew into JAX once, they picked us up at the airport which is about 30 miles south of them. The area definitively meets to OP's demographic requirements, LOL. It gets country quick once you get outside of Jacksonville. Quick.
  5. Those off an MJ, or something else? I confess to never having seen one of them, ever.

    Out of the loop

    Be safe Eagle. I know everyone's situation is different, but having a generator (even a small one) during an extended power outage can make the difference between a semi-crappy and a downright dismal experience.
  7. Plugged right in at the C100 connector (the engine side of the fuseblock). I didn't touch the interior harness at all.
  8. I've only been to a few places in but I've got to believe this is pretty spot on. Jim is one of the cleanest (which is refreshing) and funniest comedians of our generation, IMHO. Enjoy.....
  9. 'scuse me.....I'll be right back. Gotta go change my shorts
  10. That. Was. Awesome.
  11. I laughed way too hard at that. Still giggling a bit, too.
  12. Be well man. I could say a lot more about this hype but I won't out of respect for the board and CC community. Y'all will be fine, take care of the wife and don't go insane doing it. My wife works at the local VA, and I'm fully expecting her to get it sooner than later. I'll be in the same boat as you.
  13. Lelands grow fast anyway, but I fertilized them with tree spikes for the first few years too. They really exploded. I've already topped/dead headed a couple of them that were growing too fast (which you're really not supposed to do because it splits the leader if you don't cut them right). They're all too tall to top now with the ladders/tools I have, so they are off to the races. They do make a perfect wind break for storms when they come from the southwest, which is a bonus.

    CC cookbook

    ^^^theres a local pizza chain down here pimping the same thing.....just a bunch of toppings and sauce in a disposable tin, no crust. $7.99 each, I bet they're making a killing. I might actually grab a couple of them for dinner tomorrow night. Tonight is semi-vegetarian, lol. Zucchini lasagne with some home grown (not by me) cuke spears, and I'm gonna fry up some diced salami to top the lasagne with.
  15. And here's a pic of the same area, 8 years later.
  16. Not wrenching, but drinking You can use a small bottle Jack between the axle and frame rail to pop the coils out/in. Disco the lower shock, TRE and the sway bar link. Easy as pizza-pie.
  17. If I was growing it, I'd be selling it not smoking it. I work for the government, can't afford to screw that gig up.......until about 2030 when I retire LOL. Here's a google street view from back when I planted the Lelands. Technically my property line is right at that fire hydrant, but I wanted a natural fence to block everyone coming down the road from looking directly at my house (and inside my garage). I'll take a current pic when I get home from work today so you can see how fast and tall those things grow. They do look pretty stupid when you first plant them, 6 feet apart....but you have to leave room for them to grow up and out. I could have spaced mine a bit further apart than I did even, but it's way too late for that now. https://www.google.com/maps/place/3519+Rossington+Blvd,+Chester,+VA+23831/@37.3367302,-77.4268176,3a,75y,128.89h,90.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slEEGcUR-6AXy-G1CBbXmUw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b109b28ffaa7a5:0x12f86987f7dfe2f8!8m2!3d37.3367616!4d-77.4264716
  18. You mean me or Fiatslug? I wish that was cannabis behind mine, but those are Leland cypress trees. Started them from 1 gallon pots about 8 years ago, they're 30 feet tall now LOL. I've got a few fruit trees, a maple I dug out of the ground up in PA and transplanted, some crepe myrtles and a magnolia in that area too. I wanted a natural fence on that side of my house. I succeeded.
  19. Looks like a GA tag on the van in the pic too.....lol. I'm not a big fan of AC in a vehicle, I'd rather have the windows down. Of course, I don't do a lot of "city" driving, either, most of my miles are interstate. KJ blows nice cold air, but the AC in the Focus is dead. I actually drove the KJ to work earlier this week so I could have AC on the way home. 103 air temps with "feels like" 110 heat index is about my limit I might tinker around with the Focus one of these weekends. AC wasn't working when I bought it, and I've since discharged what was left of the charge in the system when I had to install a new PS pump and pressure line, so I at least need to put a charge in it before I start troubleshooting it. But it's not real high on my to-do list. Might be dealing with a hurricane or some semblance of one this weekend into next week. Gotta get my preps ready tomorrow (mostly just bringing it all up from the shed and checking things to make sure they're ready).
  20. I've been to TN once...Lawrenceburg to be exact. Longest roadtrip I ever made. Left Richmond at 0700 Saturday morning, got there around 6PM, found a cheap motel, had dinner and went to bed. Picked up an engine the next morning (in the back of Ford Escort hatchback LOL) and drove back, got home at 7PM and damn near died on the couch within 10 minutes. Ya'll make some kind of sweet red pepper slaw/relish thing that you put on just about anything over there. It's damn tasty!
  21. I just noticed the Steelers sticker on the window. <<hangs head in shame and slowly shuffles away>>
  22. Well, that's ONE way to get AC in your truck.....
  23. Forgot to mention, there's an awesome depiction of death wobble right around the 23:40 mark.

    Perserveirence

    Fun factoid.....see the big white sphere to the right of the launchpad? Fuel storage tank. Several years ago, my mom (RIP) dated the guy who designed those things. I'm sure he's long since passed away by now as well. He was French, and an absolute @$$.....but was loaded, LOL. He worked on the Space Shuttle project.
