There's still a 15mm socket in my 88's frame. Lost it trying to undo the upper arm bolts. I doubt I'll ever see it again. :( Maybe if I roll the truck over it'll come out. :idea:

Tried car-part.com yet?

This one? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11562&start=30

It's been a while since I've changed a blade on an MJ, but I think they just pry off the post with a screwdriver. :hmm:

A couple of you stole my ideas so I had to dig a bit deeper. :idea:

Eek. That seems like a lot of money for a photo of the original ad. :dunno:

Perches will always need to be moved on any axle swap (except if it came from another MJ). :thumbsup:

My 3 are just average. About 200k each. :D

Let's see what we all can come up with before we swap everything around. :D And that thread is a nice one JT, but doesn't cover the topics that the comancheclub has discussed.

if nobody else has stepped forward, i'll volunteer. go for it! I like the way this one is set up, so make it your starting point: http://www.lostkjs.com/forum/phpBB2/vie ... hp?t=24961 You don't have to copy it exactly, but just know that it is what I'm thinking of. This will be a sticky in the DIY forum, so post it there (I'll sticky it after you post). Also, with a project this big, we should probably put something in the Pub asking for member input. We're looking for threads that contain lots of good info. Another tool in our bag is that I can merge old threads if necessary. It's a LOT of work and doesn't have to be done tomorrow, so pace yourself. :thumbsup: You don't have to do all the work, just organize the efforts. :chillin:

And if anyone wants to volunteer to make and maintain a sticky post that organizes links to various existing threads (so that we can easily link back to them when someone asks), I'm all ears.

On the search page, in the lower right side you'll see "Display results as: -Posts -Topics" Are you clicking on "Topics"?

Many of our benches have lost their "minimum required comfort level" so I'm sure that play into the decision to go to buckets. Plus in the early years the bench didn't have headrests. Some of our members have already found out why headrests are nice to have. :ack: For me it's just that I love how comfortable the buckets are. :D And I like having an armrest in the middle.

You'll have to find a way to adapt them. The 97+ seats are very different. In fact, I think the seat bracketry changed in 95 or 96. The newer seats are still worth while though, they just need a bit more effort/creativity. :thumbsup:

Very nice. :D

I do that sometimes too. If there's a way to change what is the default, I'll do it. Don't have a clue how to though. :hmm: It's not exactly part of the menus I see.

:doh: You are correct. :thumbsup:

When I was in highschool, they made me take a computer class. I almost wound up being expelled over that ordeal, but that's a different story. Anyways, for the sake of a demonstration they picked a fairly generic search field (something like 'snowboarding') and made us search for it in all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc) to see what the results were. Every engine is searching the same data - yet they all produced different results. Yahoo would typically produce about eleventybillion more results than google - but google typically produced results that actually MET your criteria as it understood keywords and offers some form of spam filtering. So yeah, a search engine can seem entirely the same but produce very different results. Those ones search data that might as well be infinite. They need a more complicated engine than our little ol' site and that complication will lead different engines down different paths. Plus never underestimate the power of the almighty dollar. Some of the matches that show up on the first page are there for a reason (and usually are worthless). :fs1: Our engine seems to be relatively simple and straightforward. It find all the posts that match your criteria, then displays them in reverse-chronological order. Searching can be more art than science sometimes. It takes practice to be efficient. And that's one of the reasons why I tend to encourage new members to just ask their questions. A tip for everyone: check the box to display "topics" rather than individual posts. You'll get fewer repeat results. :thumbsup:

Fuel injection does do away with vapor lock. It's not vapor lock. Might be a faulty fuel pump resistor, or CPS.

This thread? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15387 That came up as the second result in my very first search? ("tube dana axle" in Tech) :popcorn: I guess I just don't understand how the vB can be better. The search engine looks for posts with those words. How does one work better than the other? :hmm:

Good thinking. If I get a minute I might try that. If for no other reason than to see what happens. :thumbsup:

What all is wrong with his truck?

What is in your brother's truck now? Year?

I saw on a Liberty website where they had compiled a list of links to common issues into a single post. http://www.lostkjs.com/forum/phpBB2/vie ... hp?t=24961 Also, if anyone would like to do a writeup on "tips for better searches", I'd be happy to give that a sticky somewhere. :thumbsup: Also, searching would be a whole lot easier if everyone would put pertinent words in the title and not "help me" or "found something odd today...". :shake:

I try to cover the ebay issue with simply requiring a price. That eliminates the need to have more rules about not posting links to an ebay auction. The classifieds is a place to sell stuff to fellow Jeepers, not a place to advertise your business or your auctions. Do I care if you also have it on auction? No not really. But you must post a price here. Having not come up with a price list, I've removed the contact info from the jeep farm post. When he puts one together, I'd be more than happy to return everything to normal. :thumbsup:
