A smoother ride than what?

eh, I've taken more roadtrips that I can count. apparently I was weened on them early too. I was less than a year old when my mom and my grandmother drove down to DisneyWorld and back with me. rumor has it they returned home to Michigan with a scant $2.86 left in their pockets. :shake: though gas was cheaper way back when. Best one yet was definitely the trip out to Moab. Just the four of us; me, my dog, my truck, and the open road. :D With good friends and fun places waiting for me at each destination, and the "excitement" of catastrophic failure haunting me the entire 3 weeks/ 3000 miles. Yup, that was a good roadtrip. :D

phooey on that. plenty of room in the bed for a car seat. :thumbsup:

Ouch. :eek:

They are pressed in and "removable". But it's not necessarily an easy task. :(

If you get stumped, there are MJ SUA lift leaf springs available in the aftermarket. :thumbsup:

I typically work on my friends' cars/houses for free, but I require them to be present and help out. Since most of my friends don't ever want to get their hands dirty, it cuts down on the amount of projects I end up doing. :D

You mean the top 40 prolific post count fluffers? It's easy. click on the "members" link in the upper right hand corner of page, then click on "posts", then click on "posts" again to reverse the order.

:rotf:

I gotta ask... why? :hmm: Where is the centering pin drilled in them? How much arch? What are the goals for the truck?

well, there's your problem. :laughin:

No, they pretty much fog up twice as much as open glasses. :( The face shield idea is intriguing. I may need to go buy another one (old one is all scratched up). Another helpful tip is to get some good jackstands and a good jack and get your truck up in the air as high as possible. less chance of stuff getting into your facial orifices if you're not lying directly underneath the work area looking up. gravity is pretty reliable. :D

The track bar is one of those rare things that, if the truck is at stock height, the best replacement is another stock bar. Get yourself a quality one if you can. Dealership stuff should be pretty good. :thumbsup:

If you ever want to replace the control arm bushings, I suggest complete WJ arms. :thumbsup:

Not originally, but I caught it soon after. I decided to leave it there to see if anyone noticed. To this day maybe 5 people have pointed it out. :D

:rotf: My junk is measured on a completely different scale (mainly the scrap yard's) :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Good call Pete. I normally have glasses on for that reason, but the ear plugs make sense. I've found safety glasses to be barely better than my regular glasses at keeping falling debris out of my eyes. I reach for goggles if I'm doing anything that involves a grinder or a hammer (which is just about every project underneath my trucks). :thumbsup:

Probably. and since I can't easily transfer all of these numbers into excel for a simple tally, we may never know. :dunno: To scale up, the top 1.3% of 103000 is almost 1400 people, and I just don't have that much patience to copy paste all that. :ack:

Clearly we're being out-posted :D but I'd be curious as to how the breakdown of members goes. For example, the most prodigious 1.3% of posters here account for fully half the posts. I wonder if that scales up. :dunno: Is this just a case of our small group, or is this more like the bell curve, which can be applied to all sorts of things in the world. :smart:

rust, grease, dirt, and oil all fall from my trucks with enough regularity that I generally have earplugs in when I do any underside work. :fs1:

Any year WJ. WJs are the grand cherokees from 99 to 04

the old Yahoo group site was founded in late 2002 the CC forum site was created in March 2005

found another shot of the CRD "workin" (delivering a CJ-8 carcass for a friend) :D

I just noticed that we're approaching our 3000th member. :clapping: We're also approaching our 20,000th thread and our 200,000th post (these numbers come from the bottom of the "Board Index" page). So here's a bit of the breakdown, just for the heck of it. These numbers are all rounded off. I'm not that bored. :nuts: 1900 members have at least one post 700 members at least 25 500 members at least 50 300 members at least 100 80 members at least 500 The top 40 posters have 100,000 combined posts None of these numbers include the old yahoo group site, which has about 28,000 posts and 1648 members, many of whom are duplicates of guys here or spammers. I wonder how we compare to other Jeeping or other niche sites. :dunno: Although, I know some of the other sites will go through and delete non-active accounts or they have a fee system and that might skew the numbers.
