They are definitely fiberglass. :D

Are they fiberglass? I thought they were just fiberboard (meaning glorified cardboard). When it stops raining I'll run out to the 86 (the only MJ I have that still has what's left of its headliner).

Plus if they stick that far out, I'm betting they'd hit the fenders when turning.

It says it's a 100amp unit, but somehow I doubt I'm getting that. For $65, I didn't expect a whole lot out of it and I feel more comfortable with a pro welding my important stuff anyways.

I never into the 'yard go without torx bits, #2 phillips, flathead, needlenose pliers with wire cutters in them, small tape measure, small adustible wrench and maybe the small pipe wrench. It's usually enough to remove any small stuff that might catch my eye. But then, the 'yard is only 20 minutes from my house so if I see anything big I want, I can run home for the specific big stuff I need. Items I've found handy are a dolly (hand cart, hand truck, 2-wheeled cart, whatever you'd like to call it) with big pneumatic tires, a decent sized tough rubbermaid container to help carry all the big tools/tollboxes on the dolly, and several ratchet straps (not bungee cords) for securing big items to said dolly. Sometimes I sneak in a small map gas torch. :brows:

I use the sticks that came with it. I don't think it really matters what I do with it, since welding for more than 5 seconds in a row will blow the breaker. :cry: And the little welder can't penetrate anything anyways the way it is. I weld with what I call the "bubble gum method". The weld material sticks to this piece and sticks to that piece and if you work at it, you can get a little blob of a bridge connecting the two. Enough of those and the two pieces are stuck together well enough to remove the part and take it to a professional. :D

Admittedly I own a tiny stick welder and the electrical system for the garage is barely adequate for it, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth (figuratively) everytime I struggle to strike an arc. Assuming it's just me and not the equipment, it must take a lot of practice to get good at that. I remember it being substatially easier using a MIG.

Ahhh, then I'm betting that this forum automatically added the /Img for whatever reason. I do know that if you click on the Img tag but don't follow up with a second click after pasting the address, the forum will add in the second one at the end of the post.

Interesting. It doesn't really matter, but out of curiousity, did you copy an address that had Img in it already?

Why do you have the extra /Img at the end?

I would use 1/4" steel for structural things and 3/16" steel for cosmetic.

Does nearly welding a scrap piece of aluminum to a car battery count? :rotfl2:

It's easy to post pics since you have them uploaded somewhere already. Just keep clicking on the image 'til it's as big as it gets. Then right click and copy the address of the image itself. Come here and click on Img, then paste the address, then click on /Img again. Done! As to caster, I haven't a clue. I do remember that, in a stock 78 Bronco, the arms are pretty much parallel to the ground. Since my arms are also, I just went with stock C-bushings. If you find you need more caster, other poly bushings exsist out there, I think in 4 and 7 degree versions but don't hold me to those numbers.

Shouldn't be all that hard. :dunno: I don't really know for sure since I haven't tried it, yet. I wonder if it requires a gear puller and a press? :wrench: Get yourself a factory shop manual. I'd hate to try doing it with a Chiltons or Haynes. Oh, and if you're anything like me, make sure you have yourself a back-up plan... :brows:

Go to a photo hosting site like picturetrail.com and upload your pics. Then, while you're viewing the pic you want to post, right click on it and copy the address. Then come here and click on the IMG button. Then paste the pic's address. Then click on the IMG button again.

Oh I was never going to buy it. I just brought the camera along to snap pics for Brett of XJ/MJ doors if I spied any good ones. I think I might bring the camera every time from now on. :D

try car-part.com and search for MJ specific stuff likt tailights and rear axles and such. Then call the yards that show up and ask if the headliner is still in the truck.

If this is all it's cracked up to be, I can borrow the Libby and trailer for a trip. :D Keep me posted.

8-lug Dana 44. Nope, no frontend damage that I remember. Might have seen it's last days tooling around a jobsite or j-yard I guess.

Don't fret about the short outdoor lifespan of the magnets, there are bumper stickers headed towards my house as we speak, er, type. :D The magnets will be simply for handing out or leaving on trucks you see in parking lots.

We need those magnets! Should be all ready by the end of this week. :D

Are you looking for internal or external slave?

Saw it in the junkyard on what was obviously a work truck.

The Peugeot does not share a bellhousing with the AX-15. But as Eagle said, the AX-15s should all share the same bellhousings (aside from the external and internal designs). If it's just a crack, can't he get the bellhousing welded back together?

So where are those pics? :hmm:
