I own hundreds of 12 inchers. but I don't "collect" them, I rescue them. most are classical tunes, but there are also others. my favorites are the old blues and rock albums.
I used a simple angle grinder to lop off the extra metal bushing. it's not a complicated procedure. the steel bushings just need to be trimmed flush with the rubber bushing. be sure to cool the part so the rubber bushing doesn't get too baked.
people suck. that is always a risk.
a TJ hood should be way easy to remember. open top Jeeps are so freakin' rare in the 'yards that I instantly gravitate towards any I see.
trying out an idea to spread the word for those of us on the hunt for a rare-ish non-MJ items amongst those of us that frequent the 'yards. seems like it might work out once in a while. maybe? I'm certainly willing to have an extra list on my phone when I hit the pullaparts
stuff I'm currently looking for:
4.10 geared axles from a 4banger gas 03-06 Liberty
factory trailer harness for a 02-04 Superduty (just the rear most bit that has a like foot-long pigtail and the 7pin/4-pin connectors mounted on the bumper)
what parts are you guys hoping to locate?
This september I'm hoping to drive to Colorado. but that's another post about another overly-complicated, ridiculously-circuitous drive for another day.
2 weekends ago I drove from atlanta to detroit and this weekend I drove back. the normal path looks like this:
and this is the route I took this trip:
Ever since Don passed away I've been trying my hardest to meet up with fellow MJ nuts at every opportunity and this last minute trip north I got to hang a bit with Bo, Scott, Will on the way up and then Ron, and Adam on the way down. good times guys. the visits were too short though. We need more PowWows! that way I can drive to a single location. lol.
well, I don't know which is which, but I do know you can unbolt the CAD housing, slide the locking collar over to lock it, then either retain it there with a bad clamp or simply reinstall the housing upside down (the fork will then keep it engaged).
interesting question. I also wonder how the old Jeeps would handle that. I know my 97 minivan went to a default fuel curve when the sensors died (and I still got 25mpg freeway so I just ignored it for the next 120k miles.)
