go back a few thousand years and the human body wasn't really expected to live past 40. our long life is a relatively new thing, darwinism-ly speaking.

gotcha. that's certainly a problem.

what has gone wrong with yours?

spamming is all automated these days. their computers will target everything and anything they can get into. all I need to do is an "*@zeroe.ml" to the email restrictions and they all go away. until the next batch using a different email of course. years ago this used to be a daily occurrence but we now have an anti-spam program that does a decent job.

all from the same @ zeroe.ml email addy. time for a new sign up restriction

it's not even about getting pulled over either. it's about an accident happening and then the insurance company has a way out of paying anything on your behalf, even hospital bills.

good eye all from russia, all with the same IP addy. now all gone

nah, I've already got a couple

on that topic, you must find a Jeep that was rated for enough towing from the factory. nothing you do to a rig can change its legal tow rating.

it's not too difficult either. build/buy a bumper and then build a mini rocker guard on the side. just don't hug the body too much. I've seen guys ruin the sheetmetal because the bumper didn't protrude out far enough to keep that tree at bay when the truck is at a slight angle.

and can haul an axle with you? you don't have to get all the way to Atl, but I can't drive 20 hrs for an axle. or lives near ST Louis and can hold it for me?

I've seen the d-44 as a separate line item on other build sheets so I don't think so. my assumption would be that it means skid plates? but it could also be a reused code that used to mean a different thing when MJs were made. such is the fun of the incomplete build sheets.

as I like to say when ribbing my buddies with "minimalistic" MJs: anyone can drive a buggy, real men take their whole bed with them.

you can build anything you want, it just takes steel. can't remember who, but a couple guys on CC have done it kinda recently. years ago I carved up the bed on my wheeler for more clearance. soon after I regretted it because I found it completely unnecessary, but then I made peace with it because it's a rusty hunk of rust that drops rust every time you touch it. I could easily have fabbed a bumper that offered protection rather than thinking I needed to emulate the serious rock crawlers since I don't drive my truck like that.

I'm just pointing out that a 6" guy doesn't fit in a 6ft bed. that's why I have a 7ft trailer. armor it up and go! if I found myself getting stuck a lot, then I might consider a chop. but I'd for sure try it out first. by the way, this used to be an offroad trailer. the previous owner had it lifted 6" on 33s and dragged it all over the place. I wish he had armored it, but at least he never hacked anything. it wasn't hard to pound out the dents in the lower quarters. looked like this when I bought it (dropped down to regular height of course or I couldn't have pulled it home)

I can't sleep in a 6ft bed.

"head restraints" is likely the shoulder belts

replacing a 40 year old booster is always a good idea. be sure to look up the brake bleeding procedure in the link in my sig because it's different than most any other car in existence (has to do with the rear height-sensing prop valve).

if we had more threads per day, we would have done that years ago. but honestly if you go past the first 2 pages, you get into things that are over a month old and likely no longer for sale (just people haven't said anything and so I haven't removed them).

needs just a little less toe-out

someone on fb asked about the different grills over the years and that got me thinking that we should have something that at least tries to keep track of that sort of thing. which years had which trims, or interior colors, or whatever we want. the info is in our heads, but it'd be nice to have a digi copy. kinda like a wiki but more useful and more accurate. thoughts? or do we have something like this already and I'm forgetting about it. 'cause that happens a lot more than you might think.

yeah, 500+ pounds of gas will get you deeeeeep into the woods might be hard to sleep in the back after installation though.

my grandmother would get flareups in her hands too. it sucks.
