LOL......darn near fatal weather for Virginia though. It never got out of the 20's all day, and windy as all get out. Canned chili never tasted so good ;)

yeah....Petersburg battlefield is like 5 minutes from my doorstep. Had to drive 25 minutes north so we could all drive back down PAST my house to see it, and then back up for the chili ;) Jamestown Settlement is flat out awesome. If anyone here makes a visit to this part of VA and you care at all about American history, please take time out to visit it. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.... Jeff

No...not THAT kind of topless..... our local club (Southside Jeepers) did a Jeep topless/doorless/windowless run today (club is mostly CJ/YJ/TJ's) down to a local national park. We met at headquarters early this morning, each bringing 2 cans of chili and fixins, and a roll of toilet paper. We all took off in the jeeps while most of the womenfolk stayed back and fixed up the chili, hot cocoa and garlic cheesy bread for when we got back about 6 hours later. All in all, a great family day and a great way to start off the new year :cheers: Jeff couple pics:

make sure you throw a CC magnet in the box when you ship them...... :D Jeff

I redid the floorboards with that stuff a couple years ago.....it looked nice when it went on, but it is starting to flake off now in places. I'll admit my surface prep wasn't all that great, so that may be a factor. That and the damn spray nozzles on the cans kept clogging up. I had to keep cleaning them with a straight pin. No me gusta. Jeff

pure bootyfab............ :D congrats Paul :cheers: Jeff

I've not seen nutserts at any local places (i.e. Lowe's, Home Despot, etc.), but I do know that Fastenal sells them. FWIW, you could use a self-tapping bolt into the hole in the framerail....the nutsert is just a bit more sturdy. Jeff

in short, yes.... there are a couple linkage parts specific to only the AX15....the bracket that bolts to the tranny tunnel that has the little orbit ball in it, the bracket that installs to the two tranny-to-TC studs, and the rod that connects the trunion to the range selector on the TC. The in-cab shifter and the trunion don't matter, they are interchangeable between trannies. Jeff

Sweet baby Jesus on a Friday..... I got a house that needs moved, could I borrow? :D :bowdown: Jeff

you needed to move the crossmember back on the framerails to the next set of holes....... but ^^that^^ will work too, I suppose ;) Jeff

I picked up one of these from the local hot rod shop after work last night.......I'm definately impressed with it and I haven't even gotten it on yet (maybe tonight after work). Dual chamber, all welded...the thing weighs at least 5 lbs :eek: Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found will be replacing the current glasspack.....it's cool and all, but has become a bit annoying, plus it doesn't have a spark arrestor Image Not Found Image Not Found

The BA10/AX5/AW4 (same part) crossmember will bolt up just fine, but the transfer case linkage will not line up, and the cat converter/flange will contact the floorboard. The AX15 crossmember has a 1" notch in the center where the tranny mount attaches.......you could probably use the other crossmember with some kind of homebrew TC drop, though, if you didn't have an AX15 one handy.

Copied from a post on NAXJA..... http://www.paintscratch.com/ Good stuff, especially for you guys (and gals) that have the good looking MJ's ;) Jeff

there is (was, maybe...haven't been down in a week or so) an MJ in the local 'yard up here. Last I saw it the rear 35 was still there... that said, you can get a set of new spring perches (JEGS, Mopar, etc.) for about $20 shipped to you, and get them welded on the XJ axle for short change. Jeff

I think I just wet myself a little...... :bowdown: Jeff

:roll:

Scrambler (CJ-8)???? :drool: Jeff

sometimes, what ya want to do and what you gotta do are two different things :thumbsup:

pffft.....about 6 hours and a case of beer (and pizza) how close are you to the greater Philly area? Come springtime, my wife and I are due a trip up there to visit her kin. I can take a day and swing up and swap it for ya :D park the 88 and start gathering parts now. Do it, you know you wanna :brows: Jeff

Try Northern Tool and Equipment......that's where Jerry (tjbliley) got his, I'm pretty sure. Jeff edit: this one, it's adjustable to fit different width beds..... http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/ ... _200374076

that's sig worthy right there.... Jeff
