being a dealership, maybe they mean 2000 down?

ahhh. the ones I've seen had built in reverse and then the red flashed. good to know there are other options available.

the box is from my nephews' pack. Unfortunately I didn't join scouting early enough to do the derbys. But I'm planning on entering the next derby in the adults division. I'm thinking I'll make an MJ On the KJ front... I'm not a violent person, but I'd like to meet whomever designed the upper shock mounts and then punch them in the face repeatedly.

Love it is the white stripe down the middle of the brake lights a backup light? don't forget to add a grill guard to the sub. I know guys that have lost a sub from items rolling around in their Jeep.

2 grand for a perfect MJ. yup, that smells fishy to me.

tell that to the salt fairies that keep eating mine.

That seems to be a good point to wrap up on. Thanks for being civil everyone.

nope. you're touching on things that go down paths that might make others uncomfortable and with which I don't want to deal with the consequences. the joys of being in charge. Personally speaking, there are very few things I find uncomfortable in discussions. Having said that, with my particular health issues I'm not always up to any topic at any time. The brain gets slooooowwwwww and forgetful when the fatigue sets in.

I don't want to cut anyone off if there is some new point to bring up, but it would appear we're starting to go in circles so it's probably time to retire it.

the battle dejour. the shock rusted out and blew. The rust is horrific, but I already owned most all the big stuff to replace rather than try to salvage the rotted crap. Just had to buy upper arms. the struggle is real on those upper arm bolts.

I do have this little guy. Maybe a foot long and made from heavy wall conduit. One end is for round ratchet handles, the other for rectangular. the bends allow me to rotate it in the tight confines of an engine bay to gain access I might not have otherwise if it was straight. For example: the rearmost bolt on the front upper control arm of a Liberty

has everyone said their fill? can I close this now?

but you SHOULD enter some car shows. Not the super fancy ones, just anything you can find that's local. People like to see the old american iron.

7 more posts and the classifieds will open up to you.

yup. I changed the structure of the sentence and forgot to change the number too.

nice! your homework is to copy/paste into the DIY forum

rumor has it that there's already a #25 in someone's registry of street mjs

I just saying that the person you would be talking to IS just a person trying to do good in the world. Moving up the chain can indeed find you more nefarious individuals. I've got no doubt about that. And the nefariousness could simply be "I've found a cause to get behind that helps keep me in power". Those types of people are everywhere. at some point int he conversation I usually point out that it is literally impossible to remove all firearms from the country. and even if you could, people would still be killing each other. Greed, jealousy, envy, hatred are the roots of evil. the gun is just a tool they might use. oh, and my favorite stat is that 99.999999% of the guns in this country have never been involved in a mass or accidental shooting. (yes I know the number is off a bit but it's close) (edit: because math is apparently hard late at night)

doesn't much matter to me. I seriously doubt the "new" brackets will be any different than the old. the only time I had a chance to get them, the guy with me already called dibs on the entire assembly. fyi there's a rivet near the bottom you'll need to drill out.

that impact is guaranteed to break something. I've broken sockets, snapped bolts, rounded off nuts, snapped cheap 3/8s stuff, etc. I love it!

there's a good chance that the rust is under the frame cap.

I am assuming so. feel free to send me those inner door brackets so I can have a set for a manufacturer to copy some day.

I don't have the patience to dig through all the data, but all I want to know is: how many of the (non defensive) shootings were done by someone that was a legally carrying owner and how many would have been prevented by any of the recent laws Because if the goal of new laws is to prevent deaths, they need to prove the Law would actually do something. In my face-to-face discussions with anti-gun people I find a very common thread of "well, we need to try something" and that statement won't get you anywhere with an individual that believes this is a non negotiable right of being a US citizen. also, to the pro-2nd amendment guys, do keep in mind that the vast majority of anti-gun people are just moms and dads trying to make what they feel is a safer world. bringing Hitler or other Dictators into the discussion won't help you gain traction in changing their minds because they aren't Hitler and most people can't conceive of the US someday becoming 1930s Germany. They are just people trying to prevent another shooting. Ya gotta walk around that area, even if keeping the King of England out of your face was a main reason for the founders putting in the 2nd.

have you used it? does it pass the drop test?
