Not sure who all has heard it, but for those of you that haven't, Detroit Tiger's pitcher Armando Galarraga almost threw a perfect game yesterday. In the 9th inning, with 2 outs left, the batter hit a ground ball which was promptly thrown to first ahead of the runner. But that's not what the ump called. The ump, for whatever reason :dunno: , called him safe and destroyed a little slice of history. :fs1: I can only hope that this whips the powers-that-be into reality and convinces them to at least contemplate integrating some video review into the game. (currently only questionable home runs can be reviewed for accuracy)

hellcreek has a couple choices. see the top post in the for sale forum.

not sure how applicable it is, but I love the buckets in my 2000. :D

ding-ding-ding!! We have a winner! :clapping:

that extra leaf in my packs has cut down the hop quite a bit.

check to see if your exhaust is contacting your transmission crossmember. :thumbsup: Also check you U-joints for slop.

I built something very similar for my buddy's bronco. went between the hitch and the 3x5" bumper. I gotta say yours came out better. :thumbsup:

seems like a good place to start. :thumbsup:

will they fit in the hole and mount up using the same screws? No. Will that cover the hole and stay there with some duct tape and look like crap? sure. Take note that the MJ has 3 bulbs and the dak has 2. SterlingStinger is trying something along those lines (but without the duct tape of course) viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23393 Dak on the left, MJ on the right.

wow. :cheers: different sellers?

I'm not sure where the factory one is. I ran a new wire from the battery to the metal part of the dash above the drives feet. If I remember right, I was having trouble right after installing an aftermarket radio (which was asking for lots more juice).

shop manual procedure for anyone reading this that's curious:

I had to run a new ground to the dash in my 88. everything worked better afterwords. :D

Straight from Chrysler. 10w30 is the new oil requirement for AX-15s.

I'd be more shocked if it didn't leak/burn/blow some oil. It's a Jeep. They do that. Don't fret too much over it. that coating of oil underneath is the Jeep's version of rust-proofing. :D Does it still make good power? does it blow clouds of smoke out the tailpipe? Start with fixing the blowby (doing the stuff Eagle mentioned). That might actually cure your ills (the valve cover gasket is a known leak problem). Then work on some of the remaining seal leaks. Unless the block literally blows up or knocks horribly, there's hardly any reason to undertake an complete engine swap. :thumbsup: It just needs some maintenance done, that's all.

moved it to the projects forum for ya. :thumbsup:

I bet it'd work pretty good as a golf cart. :D

amen to that. :D

yup, that's what I meant. the giant vacuum hose leading to the brake booster. :thumbsup: I remember one guy had a big leak and it stalled the truck when he braked hard.

I would hope there's a set of factory gauges in your truck's future. :thumbsup:

stone in the tire tread? Somebody wrap a big zip-tie on your driveshaft? :teehee:

vac leak in the booster hose?

how much of the XJ did you use?

it's close... http://cgi.ebay.com/ARMED-CITIZEN-PROPE ... 53e11c836a

how long before a lift and bigger tires? :brows: I'm thinking 3" and 32s with some flares to help cover them. :D
