old school harmonica is da bomb note that there's no singing.

it lives!

there's a thermostat on it. give him an egg timer that goes off after X minutes and after that he has 2 more minutes before you crank the temp down.

unlimited length hot showers. like staying at a fancy hotel!

as with most things for people, what you see first leaves a lasting imprint and tends to sway your opinions later on. just part of the human condition.

costs can be a huge factor in this. if I had to pay for it all, I'd do 4.56 in a heartbeat since it's essentially the same price. BUT if I could cut that bill in half... then 4.10s are looking miiighty good.

while we're on that topic, the frames underneath are very different too. and the shocks for a sb are behind the axle while a longbed's are in front of the axle. leafs are the same length though.

by about 6" given identical drivetrains.

the longbeds have 6" more in front and 6" behind the tires

those... don't just swap.

that's more due to you guys than to me.

2 of which are rust free. gotta be doing something right in life.

the ol' hand crank counter display is... let's say "less than ideal" for determining what any particular oil does when at operating temp and the gears are spinning at a million rpms. as I understand it, 10w30 (or is it the 40?) is actually quite close to 75w90. engine and gear oils just have different nomenclature scales or some such thing. if it's good enough for Mopar to suggest it, it's good enough for me. but it's certainly not any better than the redline so it's all good no matter what is chosen.

with a properly running engine it should be able to get past 70 with either 4.10s or 4.56 on 33s. the key here is what it feels like when starting from a stop. a bit more gearing will make the Jeep feel alive and powerful.

it can be, but it's not so bad when I think of all the peoples' lives out there that are far worse. My body's plethora of foibles is merely quite irritating/annoying (although the cfs can be crippling some days). I still have all my fingers/limbs/eyes and I can walk and talk, so I can't complain too much. as long as I can still manage to help out others with their lives, I figure my life is pretty good.

I can sympathize. I suffer from Raynauld's disease and my grandma had a condition that caused her entire body to tense up and shut down if she got too cold. but I also suffer with hyperhidrosis and I easily burn under the sun so the south doesn't suit me very well either.

RPMs are not a straight-up indication of MPGs. the 2.5L/auto came with 4.56 gears stock.

less-awesome beds are easy to come by the shims change from bed to bed and body to body so it might take a bit of effort to get the body lines lined up right.

I mean, yes? I've only had access to the southern yards for the last decade and they are super nice. super duper nice. but finding a lifted ZJ is something that could happen up north too. some days you get lucky
