how's your budget look? There's a huge price difference between 33s on 5" and 35s on 8".

how big of a tire are you looking to run? What are you doing for gears and axles?

Just got word from our host that some server maintenance will be going on from 1am and 7am EST late saturday night. We may or may not have some downtime. That is all. :typing:

That frame rot will buff out. :clapping: AAL. MT leaf tips would be evenly spaced.

:waving: you can't get AAA to tow it without you being there at the time? bummer. :(

3.55 gears Dana 35 or 29 spline 8.25 rear AW-4 231 t-case if parttime, 242 if fulltime (both will have the sealed rear output)

Is it as rust free as it looks in the pic? :drool:

shiney. 8)

all in one trip I drove the 88 through MI, OH, IN, IL, MO, KS, CO, UT (moab) and then back again. Almost made it home too. :D

I'll send some more your way next chance I get. :thumbsup:

nice job on the bed. :thumbsup: got any closeup shots?

My Libby has a 2.8... ...CRD that is. :brows:

looks like you should be able to use that one MJ housing to do both Dakota housings. What about just eliminating one of the MJ brake lights?

It might. There are a ton of variables in leafs and any random leaf stuck in any random leafpack may have different results. XJ leafpacks are flatter than ours and I've seen a lot of sagging ones, so I'd be picky about what I bought. It'll certainly be better than nothing. :thumbsup:

brake shields? are you talking about those flimsy pieces of sheetmetal that just collect mud and stones? I usually just remove them. :dunno:

I swore I did one in that same color scheme, but cannot find it. :(

I've never had a co2 tank run out during a weekend (I wanna say it's a 10 lb tank?). That includes numerous tire rotations (travel tires off, wheelin' tires on, then back again), airing up a couple times, other peoples' repairs, etc. You just have to keep in mind that the amount is still finite. I use a breaker bar for both starting and finishing the lugs (where I'd be wasting the most air) and use the impact to mostly make it all go much faster. :cheers: I do have a cheapie 12volt air compressor as a backup for airing up the tires. :thumbsup:

I'm a big fan of adding in a main MJ leaf (with the eyes removed) as an AAL. :D hellcreek sells an AAL that does just this. :thumbsup:

I wish I had a photo of the expressions on the guys' faces when I calmly walked over with a floor jack, co2 tank and impact wrench to help out with the blown tire. :D

I love having my Co2 tank on the trails. :D

how will you be attaching them?

HellCreek makes MJ packs of various types. Might want to ask him if he'll sell MJ mains separate if that's all you think you need. :thumbsup: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=19998

:waving:

I saw a pic of the latest GC after a trip on the Rubicon trail. I'm sure that'll buff out. :teehee: I don't even mind the idea of an awd Jeep car (think Subaru WRX competition). But why oh why are they so dang fugly looking? :dunno:

So there is no way on god's green earth that my total at the post office just happens to end in a 1 or a 6 (giving me 4 pennies back in my change) as often as it does without some devious plan behind it. I think the government is just trying to get rid of the dang things and using the post office as a means to an end. :rant:
