if you can't find anything else, I'm eventually coming up the east coast with beds, and if it works out, I can bring along the bench I just picked up. has no seat covers, but does have the headrests.
yup, those are priceless. perchance did you watch the latest installment of Business Blaze?
I just can't stop smiling at the thought of trying to rebuild an engine while it's running.
4.56s. if I had a 2.5 and was paying for new gears, I might even jump to 4.88s. but both are better than stock gears pushing bigger tires.
things you can do yourself:
-buy axle
-trim off all the old bracketry
-buy new perches and u bolts
things better left to the pros:
-setting up the gears
-welding on the perches
more things you can do yourself after they are done:
-install new axle
yeah, I would find an XJ for parts. if you only want to keep the (currently) 2wd one, you'll make much more money selling the 4wd one than it takes to buy a 4wd XJ. plus then you can get a newer XJ with better parts than the 80s offered.
nope. in a highspeed sustained linear flow (i.e. the freeway) the turbulence circulates into a sideways barrel shape that actually deflects the air coming over the cab. if the gate is removed, the barrel can't form. check out the Mythbusters work on it.
I wasn't the guy that contacted him, it was the other Peter (LSR3). I just tagged along for the ride. but I thought Rob had a contact that gave him the plethora of images of the TC.
if I have to replace these again, I'm buying that tube of windshield adhesive and squeezing it up in there to create a solid bushing. I nearly had to create my own for that diff support in the KJ but fortunately one of my used spares was juuuuuust good enough.
I'd had to replace all those little rubber bits in the PT. less than 100k miles and none of the rubbers lasted. hurray for cheap american cars!
although technically I didn't replace them all... there's a mid-engine one that is a super pain to get out and thus it remains.
