  1. Just trying to let those more informed make suggestions. :yes: Fine then, I'll be at the pull-a-part south at 1pm. Everyone who plans to be there PM me and we'll exchange phone numbers (if we haven't already.)

    Wish me luck

    Hopefully you brought a snow shovel. :D Good luck! :thumbsup:
  3. It is possible for the master or slave to fail internally. The seals inside start letting fluid escape past them as you're pushing down on the pedal.
  4. If that is the issue, here is the ajustment procedure:
  5. Yup, sounds about right to me. :thumbsup:
  6. Only the MJ floor brackets will be reused. You'll be bolting the XJ bucket tracks to them. The bench tracks (the slider assemblies) will stay with the bench.

    ewwwww.....

    The mess is in Georgia. If it was in michigan I'd know where to take it (I live in the town with the landfill). Down here I need to find someplace. The "dump" that gets the regular trash isn't set up for a mess like this.
  8. I got a new kenwood radio for the van/trucks (not one of my 4 old radios works properly anymore).
  9. I found a local welder in the yellow pages. I think it was $40 to have my bumpers and crossmember welded up.
  10. Do you have a better place?
  11. He says he put on the rockcrawler long arm, :dunno: maybe it's not made for 7.5"s? We need more details. :thumbsup:
  12. Come springtime I will. I have to paint the flares black and remount them too. Then I'll see about some typical military markings. :D

    ewwwww.....

    only if I want to burn the forest down. :D Also, god help me if my mom found out I was burning a pool of used oil on her property. It's not way out back, it's next to the house (only 17 feet from the treehouse).

    ewwwww.....

    Yeah, I don't really want to get the authorities involved if I don't have to. But I also want to take care of this in a proper manner. Looks like I'll be calling a few numbers to get some info on what landfills near me will take contaminated soil and how much that costs.
  15. How about we meet at pull-a-part south? I bet there's a McDonalds near there. :thumbsup:
  16. I believe the bed of the MJ is wider than the rear of an XJ.
  17. Hopefully you'll have better luck with this new pump. (hopefully)
  18. Make sure you use a cleaner that's o2 sensor safe. Some carb cleaners aren't.
  19. Have you cleaned the throttle body area yet?

    ewwwww.....

    Worked for the previous owner right? Not exactly. As I understand it, if the EPA gets involved in stuff like this they will track him down for the fines and costs. I'm willing to put some labor into this, but I'm not spending a dime on this cleanup if it comes to that. Don't know how much oil is there. This pile looks like it had been collecting for a while now. Just a rough guess, but there are probably two or three 50 gal drums worth of contaminated soil. I can only guess that the oil is just from the filters. He could have been dumping it too. Could be far worse under there. :( It's a huge mess. I wonder what else might be lurking in the leaf litter... :shake:
  21. Post up something in the classifieds. :thumbsup:
  22. Absolutely you should keep it from the junkyard's grasp, but some of us live in places where good condition bodies are few and far between and figure each one should be cherished. :(

    ewwwww.....

    So, let's say hypothetically that I was to find a few oil filters in a pile in the woods on my parent's property. And by few, I mean a few dozen. And by in the woods, I mean 5 feet past the first bushes right next to the kid tree house. And by hypothetically, I mean I just filled up a tub with the nasty things and there's a heap of contaminated soil and god knows what else left. What would you do? :mad:
