  1. I see a marker at Packwood without a name. I'm assuming that's you and I added your screen name to it.
  2. do you have a multimeter? you need to verify that the gauge is accurate.
  3. I only have the one and no, it's not for sale. once you have 10 total posts the classifieds will open up to you. please don't spam the rest of the forums with wanted ads.
  4. and it likely had that from day one. there are plenty of hiccups in the computer data we get from chrysler.
  5. the rear ZJ 44 has an aluminum center section that's less than stellar. BUT it had disk brakes that are used for an easy upgrade on other axles like the MJ 44
  6. up near the top find the icon labeled "add marker"
  7. wait, what? is that for later years that don't use the sensor?
  8. depending on how picky you are, height matters too. many a member has complained that the random topper they found was too short or too tall or even that the angle of the front doesn't match the cab quite right.
  9. guys that link the rear axle will usually need to move the tank. I've seen plenty in the bed (eating bed space), but also a few XJ or TJ tanks mounted in the spare tire location (negating a spare tire there of course). What you want to do depends on what you want to do with the truck.

    thin? thick? stuffed? crispy? for homemade crust I prefer a thick puffy crust. I searched around and this one is approximately what I've done:

    you've certainly earned a break. plus we need more yard art outta ya.
  12. this is another good one if you haven't seen it yet:
  13. the link in my sig will have much of the info you seek the WJ arms are the same length as MJ arms but fully boxed and have a curve for tire clearance. they are good for up to 3" of lift (or more if you go with drop brackets).
  14. that's a bit of a complicated question because a ton isn't much more than normal truck can carry. true one-ton fullsize truck can carry way more (7k#+). on one hand, to haul a ton in the bed you technically don't have to do anything aside from the usual Metric ton features (stiffer springs, stiffer shocks, better rear axle, and steel rims). that's rated for carrying 2200 pounds right there (assuming everything is in excellent condition of course). on the other hand, there's no legal way to carry that much if your truck was rated for the lesser amount. max weight from the factory is max weight for life. the law and your insurance company don't care if you've improved everything little thing. on the other-other hand, we all like upgrades and better performance! so there's a ton (pun intended) of the usual you can do including: better gear ratio and the dual brake booster (tops of my list), plus later model (aka bigger) ujoints/shafts in the front axle, the WJ brake conversion with hi-steer arms, v8 ZJ steering bits for tougher stock steering, disk brake conversion on whatever axle you pick for the rear, WJ control arms, and a big fat trans cooler if you have an auto. the internal upgrades to the t-case are super cool, but won't really help much when hauling 2200 pounds as you won't very likely be using 4wd at the same time. or if you are, it's for a super short time trying to get off of the wet gravel next to the pavement. The stock t-case is already rated for such a thing. but on the other-other-other hand, I've been planning on the same upgrades for my wheeler.
  15. message me an address and I'll send you some cards and a magnet
  16. I've seen "contractor" ones, where the side are doors that open to side storage bays.
  17. that is epic, Jeremy. as per usual.
  18. holy crap! I'd be snapping shots too, public scrutiny be damned. did you leave a club card behind?

    love it! be sure to copy paste this into a proper build thread
  20. moved to tech for ya. do check your valve cover first, as leaks at the back can look like an RMS leak. there's a writeup in the link in my signature for bypassing the CAD (central axle disconnect) once and for all and then you can remove most all the lines down there.
  21. fwiw, I don't recognize it.
  22. I heard from a mouse that holding the door up works. but in all seriousness that could have been a truly horrible event. I mean, who thinks "hey look, rain's comin'. I wonder if we'll get 120mph winds for a half hour straight?"
  23. as the saying goes, if he ain't dead, he for sure ain't happy.
  24. wouldn't lowes have some?
