  1. Nice combo. :D I'm rocking 99 TJ stuff.
  2. don't listen to him, MO is waaay too far away. :D
  3. :D nah, it's a left and a right half. you need one of each to make one animal.
  4. If it's a solid truck, I know of a place up in Loganville where you could deposit the empty carcass for safe keeping. :D No slicing of the sheetmetal though. :no:
  5. so I brought back a whole mess of shells from florida. 8) today I had a chance to open up the boxes and start sterilizing and organizing them. As i was going along I noticed that all the examples of this one particular variety of mollusk were the one side. There were no corresponding mirroring halves. :hmm: Eventually I discovered I had one. One solitary other side. I find this quite perplexing and have not yet come across an answer. :dunno: I mean, the animal had them when it was alive. Is the missing half the bottom half? as in it was stuck in the mud when it died and the upper half was more likely to wash away? Is the tastier bits attached to one side or the other? Did the little mermaid steal them all?
  6. I've never had to replace a fuel line. :dunno: and I live in southern michigan no less.
  7. fired them up and puttered the fleet across the parking lot (pushed the 88).
  8. what is it that you're calling a "diff angle"?
  9. they should lean back slightly. Unless the particular car asks for 0* like some of the old Scouts. I don't remember for sure, but I wanna say that MJs got 5* from the factory. any less as the truck will wander on the road. (the right amount of caster gives the truck it's return-to-center for the steering)
  10. gotta fix your caster first. camber is not adjustable (except with special offset ball joints).
  11. happens to the best of us sometimes. My 88 overheated 5 minutes into its first wheeling trip. :shake:
  12. Pete M

    egg hunt:

    eggzactary. :D I'm slowly workin' on convincing my parents to get chickens when they move to Georgia. :clapping:
  13. sorta. the thingie up front where all the lines split off isn't actually a proportioning valve in our trucks, just a diverter. If you have any rear brake issues after removing the rear height sensing valve, you could try swapping an XJ prop valve in it's place. :dunno:
  14. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19790
  15. the factory rms should last another 150k. how much more life do you need? :dunno: If you find a groove in the crank, you might want to try the double-lipped rms. :thumbsup:
  16. what is your caster? measure that before making any adjustments.
  17. hmmm.... you're only 2.5 hours off my route to and from Atlanta. hmmm.....
  18. fuel pump resistor? white ceramic thing on the drivers side fender in the engine bay. you can try bypassing it by just hooking the wires together.
  19. shows like that just seem too scripted to me. i can't seem to let myself get into them. If it's too good to be true...
  20. Speaking of Pawn Stars..... why do shows like that insist on having at least one friggin idiot on there...I speak of Chumley. I won't watch the show because of him... that and continually seeing people think that they are going to be paid full price from a pawn broker.... stupid people! because it's a TV show, and that's the way that the TV execs think all shows should be. I can't stand the vast majority of "reality" type shows. I guess I just don't like watching idiots. especially when they are pretending to not be acting it up for the camera. staged arguing should have been laid to rest with the Jerry Springer show.
  21. really sounds like it could be a fuel filter or fuel pump sock clogging issue. But I don't know anything more than Rob about the 6.5 specifically. :D
  22. if you fire it up and let it run til it dies, then try to start it again, does it start? or is it just dead for a while?
