allwheeldive is freaking awesome! Swap in a 242 and leave if in fulltime permanently. That's my plan at least. :D

Just grab 2 tailgate caps from a current model Ram pickup and use them to cover up the rockers. Then screw some sheetmetal over any holes you find on floor. Rusty rockers should never be the death sentence for an MJ. If it was, they're would be far far fewer on the roads today. Only one of mine has any rockers to speak of and all have holes in the floorboards.

My 90 on a stock 4x4 suspension and stock steel rims. If you do this combo, then it's highly suggested that you swap in WJ lower control arms (pic below). Otherwise you'll smack the LCA with the tire. If you've got aftermarket rims, then you'll need a 3" lift to keep from smacking the fenders. Yup, it's a tight fit in there. :D

Cut out the outer skin and do this:

Yup. Sometimes ya gotta be extra patient with the post office. :(

I'd be willing to count a Cheromanche as a Comanche if they use at least one MJ part: bed, tailgate, back window, etc. Just hacking off the back of an XJ does not an MJ make.

Unfortunately they are not. :(

I'm guessing it might rotate your t-case up slightly like the YJ/TJ AX-15 does.

Well, maybe if I actually got to drive one of my Jeeps once in a while... :( People look at you funny when you wave from a minivan. :D

XJ leafs are flatter, so a 3" XJ AAL will give about half of that lift when put into an MJ leaf pack.

Now that I think about it, it's probably easier to just check for voltage at the horn while someone pushes the button rather than feeding a live wire down to the horn. :D

If you can hear the click, then I'd guess that the relay works. have you tired putting 12volts to the horn directly yet? I never had a working horn in my 88, but for 9 years I never really cared. Then one day last summer I decided to track it down and found out that the reason the horn didn't work is that there wasn't a horn! I threw in a horn and connected it to the wire in the engine bay and voila! a working horn. :D

A good cat won't affect anything, but a bad cat will choke the life out of an engine.

I'm glad bonkers started this thread, 'cause it gives us all a chance to talk about what happened. I realize now that I should have started a new post myself. I am sorry. I've got just a couple more thoughts on this to clear up any confusion. I didn't shut it down because of the email complaints. I would have done the exact same thing without them. I just wanted to point out that I wasn't the only one that felt this way. Plus the decision to take action wasn't just mine. Eagle and I conferred and we both agreed that it needed to be nipped in the butt before it got out of hand (as political discussions usually do). And last time I checked, America doesn't allow you to do whatever you want when ever you want. We have laws to curtail behavior and we have people in charge of us that make decisions that are (hopefully) made with the intent of the greater good and we (to a certain degree) trust them to do that. I apologize that y'all couldn't elect me. I didn't start the MJ Yahoo group, but it was placed in my care and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I don't like doing things in secret and would much rather let everyone know what's happening and why. That's why the topic was locked, not just deleted and swept under the rug. If anyone wants me to start listing rule after rule, too bad, I'm not going to do it. I feel rule number 1 is sufficient to cover instances like this. I've not seen a war-on-terror discussion YET that didn't quickly dissolve into unfriendliness. But I still consider myself a noob at being a mod, and if I don't always handle things exactly as 841 different opinions might want me to, then I apologize. But I will not let this forum turn into anything other than a friendly place for MJ fans to congregate. Once again, if anyone wants to have a polite discussion about the war, politics, religion or whatever, go for it. Just keep the rude insults, name-calling, gross exaggerations, juvenile assumptions, etc. to yourself or the magic forum wand will smite your words. :thwak: --Pete And just for the record, I am fiercely Independent. The political parties can both kiss my grits. :USAflag:

Going out today. :D I was waiting for an address from someone and now I've got it.

:rotfl2:

Oh, that's not true. I bet my dogs answered. :D Yeah, I had to run a bunch of errands yesterday and I had the Libby available to me. It's not a hard decision; crappy old van with a crappy old radio, or brand new diesel Jeep with satellite radio (ya can't beat having old school rap available at the touch of a button :D). I knew as soon as I left the van there, that would be the day you stopped by. :roll: Well, today I seem to have only the van, so once again you can try using it as a locater device to find me. :D

greatlakes4x4 uses a system set up sorta like ebay. In a couple weeks I'm getting some cPanel tutoring from the guy running it and I'll ask him how they did it.

Are you absolutely positive that it's the box and not something else in the rest of the system?

I use a throttle body-safe cleaner, just in case.

Might be. Wouldn't be the first time. :roll:

I can't find the slot in the modem, otherwise I'd email ya one. :D :cheers:

The non-C-clip is technically better, but only because when you snap the axle shaft, the tire will still be attached to the truck and not wander away. :D And someone can correct me here, but I think the older axle should have the rubber plug in the cover and the later axles should the threaded steel fill plug, yes? Don't know if it directly corresponds with the C-clips, but I'm betting all the rubber plug axles are non-C-clip

Some places have "inspections" rather than just the sniffer test and this might be something they look for. Don't know for sure. Michigan gave up on even the sniffer test years ago. :D

Does it cut out instantly, like if you turned the key? Or does it sound like it chokes and stalls?
