an excellent idea but be careful, as it'll sometimes change the sheen on things.

normally I'm all for keeping things factory, but the Euramtec lights look the part and are infinitely superior in functionality.

holy time traveling batman!

sounds like a vacuum leak. most all MJs come with wires that go nowhere. unless you had a Laredo with the works.

"complete mess" means different things to different people. what specific issues does it have? does the engine currently run? what state is the truck in?

do make sure you find and fix all the water leaks that led to those floors. for they can be numerous

yes. forgot it had an X. Xylene. the X makes it sound cool. comes in a metal can for a reason.

Zylene will absolutely remove the paint, but be sure to try in an inconspicuous locations first. and don't let it linger.

the 4.0 has a CCV system. the 2.5L has a PCV system. basically the CCV is an open line with no little valve in it like the PCV. can't imagine how either one would make the oil smell like gas though. how well does she idle? rev? does the exhaust smell like gas? how are your MPGs lookin'?

I got one from him and can vouch for it's coolness

what are the specs from the alignment? specifically the toe setting?

how can they advertise a partout on ebay? especially given they put in a BIN price of $1234? what on earth does ebay do if I click buy it now?

yup, facebook is by far the easiest to set up for chatting (everyone creates a fake account and joins the same private group), but it has drawbacks

we use Invision Community for the forum software. it's been quite a few years since it was set up (and technically I didn't do it), but I imagine if you google them, you'll get step by steps. you'll want to snag a website address too (we went through GoDaddy), and a place that will host it all (we use Linode). or you can make a private facebook group

brilliant!!

I think all cars have stainless fuel lines these days.

asking if stainless will work? or how hard it is to bend it?

if you're going to flush/bleed the brakes, now's a great time to also replace all the rubber lines.

that's some old school goodness right there

the General Chief Electric stove-sink-fridge combo from the 1950s. I always thought that electricity and water didn't mix, but I apparently was wrong...

I do believe the Explorer brakes are another swap option and I know they come with internal drums

Beatles. also lever actions are simply way cooler oatmeal or a bagel?
