lookin' good! be sure to track down the rain leak that caused the floor rust.

I've always wondered if adding lighting rods at the tops of a smattering of mountains and hills could reduce the number of fires started this time of year. (note that I didn't state that would be an especially easy task).

another huge milestone!

this is an ad for an alarm company, but if anyone hasn't seen how easy it is to steal a trailer that only has a hitch lock, it's a must-watch.

I love the lock! very beefy! I assume it locks up the chains too?

oh, and a learned a lot about what NOT to do with growing a garden in Georgia. starting late isn't just about fighting the heat, it's about fighting the insects that come out at this time of year too. stupid caterpillars...

not according to your signature.

so far so good here, I guess. School has started up for my nephews so that's... fun. My sister is a grade school teacher so that's extra fun. she's got both in-school and at-home kids so the workload has increased dramatically but I'm sure once she (and the at-home kids) gets used to it it'll be less of a hassle. My grandma got her roommate back so at least she has someone to talk to again. It's hard to say it, but I think her degrading mental faculties have been almost a blessing for her. I know that other nursing home residents are going nuts with the boredom. My folks have gotten pretty good at using their computers. I mean, my mom can actually bring up a browser and search google for basic things! She's a legit technophobe so this is a huge step forward. Our church has started up services again. all outdoors with masks and separation of households and such. the stores around here are instituting mask policies so my mom feels comfortable enough to venture out on her own each week. oh and of course Dad's cancer is back again , but this time it's just a small nodule that they are going to zap with what's called a "gamma knife" and he'll be on a once-a-month shot that is supposed to suppress any more growth. most importantly, no surgery this time! the doctors are all getting into video conferencing too and so he only goes to the hospital when he gets treatment. Mom loves this because she can now be there for the chats with the doctors where-as a little bit ago only patients were allowed into the buildings. of course hockey and baseball are going strong so my mom is ecstatic about that. I'm glad the teams have all found a way to make it happen, but it's still weird to hear "crowd noises" when I know there isn't a soul in the stands. oh and my folks went camping last week. met up with friends from NC and just relaxed outdoors for a few days. on the less positive side of things, I just got word on facebook that James DeWhitt's (an OG CC member) roommate has come down with covid, but james himself has tested negative. He's now trying to find alternate housing for the next 2 weeks.

that it will.

I don't know for sure, but I'd wager that both will work. there are a plethora of injectors out there that will have 4 hole but not too much of a flow rate (neons and volvos come to mind). for some reason fuel injectors are remarkably interchangeable (outer dimensions at least) across time and space and brands. (meanwhile I had to go buy a 7mm and 11mm allen wrenches to do the brake pads on the Durango and when I finally need to do the rotors, I gotta buy a giant reverse torx! )

all that hard work was totally worth it good for another 30 years!

so one of my crappy tires on the turbines has a slow leak so I traded them out for a pair of my Rubicons. I like it. can't wait to pull it with the Liberty!

not everyone checks the DIY forum regularly. you should post up in the Tech forum so more eyes will see it. (but be sure to bring the answer back here ince you figure it out. )

weird. I'm going to call it a clue because that sounds more promising than "oddity"

you should probably post that in the Tech forum so more eyes will see it. and a pic might be handy. be sure to bring the answer back though so it's in the proper thread

is this the US vin number?

good to see ya getting out and enjoying the truck in its natural habitat

moved your post to the Pub welcome! 'tis a fine lookin' Jeep ya got there.

nice! are you insulating at all?

they are easy enough to shape out of flat steel and have a ton of spot welds that I've never bothered to pull them. but that doesn't mean that they aren't easier for other people to remove that have more skills. and I have no idea what the going rate would be since they are so rarely sold. I cut a few inches above the body crease.

yes

31x10.5 are frequently put onto the 15x7s

most MJ rims are 15x7. one steel rimis 15x6.

that particular rim isn't stock MJ. kinda looks like a 15x8 wrangler Gambler. are you asking about it or about what you have now?
