I love late night wrenching. :D Although I do make sure my cell phone is in my pocket. Just in case I get pinned under a transmission or something. :roll:

Some good reading here: :cheers: http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/te ... pgrade.htm http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6611

:eek: That's a new one by me. Does this happen every time you search? Only when using certain parameters? What do you mean by "Could not insert search results" ?

Too bad it'll all be for naught when they win the series and lose to the Redwings. :D

I have a feeling you probably won't get all that great of a product with that 50 kb image. :roll:

Yeah, what he said. :D

If you're trying to upload your own photo, you can email me the picture (fullsize please) you want to use and I'll do the rest of the work for you. :D petermontie@hotmail.com

Power steering is a bolt-in upgrade. :D

And go oh so fast. :D Congrats on both counts!

It's not incredibly common, but not unheard of either.

Hmmm, last time my Scout troop went shootin' I brought the Winchester model 94 (in .32 Special), the .22, the single shot 20 gauge, and my buddy brought his Glock (in 40 cal), Bulldog .44 revolver, and 12 gauge mossburg pump.

Full nuke. 8) If you come out with a recipe book this summer I better get credit. :laughin: And I put it on a napkin on a plate. When you nuke bread it tends to throw off moisture and that can lead to a soggy bread.

There is no easy way. All limited slip installations require re-setting up your gears and that's not cheap. Although, you could get an XJ/MJ axle from the junkyard that already has one and simply burn on perches in the right spot. But the factory posis weren't all that great. If I were in you shoes, I'd go for a "lunchbox" locker that installs in place of the spider gears. They are $200 and change and it is not required to re-setup the gears. The Aussie brand comes to mind as a good choice.

But it was sooooooo worth all the effort. :D I'm a perfectionist and will work on a taste I like until it's juuuuuust right. Most of my "simple" sandwiches have a complex setup procedure.

I had a sandwich wrap of sorts. 2 soft burrito bread wraps with sliced up ham and velveta inside. I prefer to heat up the ham separate and try to absorb most of the moisture that comes off, then scatter the ingredients between the 2 wraps and roll it up. It helps to stab a toothpick in there to maintain shape and then I hit it with another 15 seconds to melt the cheese. :D

You won't need a SYE. The extra foot or so of driveshaft really helps us out. :D Even if you push into the 5"+ lift range, the angles will still be fine (although the driveshaft may not be quite long enough anymore).

Someone here used the roof rack sliders from an XJ in their bed. I used Uni-strut. Usually I just use the holes in the Uni-strut as anchor points for tie-down straps, but I can also buy the accessories that go to the uni-strut such as the pipe brackets holding my CO2 tank and fire extinguisher in place.

I had my driveshaft shortened for $30.

In my opinion front limited slips are awesome. They provide way more traction than open, but still slip enough to help prevent damage in high-stress situations. :D I don't like limited slips in the rear. They never seem to provide enough grip when it really matters. :(

Also, don't under estimate the power of water to sneak past the rear hood gasket and trickle down through the firewall holes. Man that one was a bugger to figure out. I sprinkled baby powder around to track it.

Just because they don't have mudflaps, doesn't mean they shouldn't have them. I built a removable bracket onto the bottom of my rear bumper both to hold the flaps and to get my bumper low enough to be legal.

Converting to 4wd is easy enough. The important thing to look for is a solid body.

Are you losing any alternator fluid? Might be a drainage hole of some kind.

:needpics:

I think I see something amiss over in this general area. Not entirely sure though. I'll run out and compare it against my truck. :shake:
