  1. it does appear there, but I get a "windows has determined that your drivers are up to date" message if I try to update.
  2. so my big plan is to "retire" my old computer's hdd as a storage device and put it into the fire safe (it's full of family photos and such). this is made easier because my new computer came with an extra 500gb hdd. but I'm having a problem getting the new computer to recognize the 500g as a storage device. I can see the 500g in device manager, but when I scan for driver updates I get both "best driver is already installed" and when I scan for hardware changes I get a "could not find drivers" alert. am I just screwed? the seller claims it worked fine with windows 10. I only have windows 7 here at the house.
  3. just great. photobucket all over again. they want 200 a year for that map.
  4. my new(to-me) baby has arrived! it is lightning fast! (at double the ghz it better be ) plus I bought a caddy to put a harddrive in place of the DVD drive. my desire is to have the SSD that came with the computer as my primary and then my old HDD as a second storage area, but I've encountered a glitch. seems my old HDD takes over the computer? This is a plus because it has allowed me to pick up where I left off with my desktop and browsers, but a negative since it doesn't recognize any internet signals of any kind, not even an ethernet cable (I think dialup was the only choice). The wifi and internet works fine if I fire it up sans the HDD. the other issue is that I don't want the HDD as the primary, only storage. I get the feeling that it still thinks it's in an Acer netbook. but why would it just take over being Drive C?

  6. good to see ya! and be sure to start a build thread for your bikes!
  7. you should put your website addy in your sig
  8. brand new shafts are only around 200 bucks or so.
  9. what about building a stroker 4.6? it'd certainly look period correct and the rest of the drivetrain would remain untouched. overdrive is overrated
  10. I always wanted to build up a flattie with an obd2 2.5L modern meets classic!
  11. found some time to found some time to drill new holes and get the new hotness mounted up. and then proceeded to wrench my back pretty good because I tried to push it back into it's spot by myself because I'm an idiot. I'm still not keen on the bling-factor, but the usuable space inside is just plain awesome! I can fit a milk crate or rubbermaid tote inside with ease. that means I can get organized and also separate the heavy items from the fragile ones.
  12. should. but in any case, it's above the passenger's feet held in by a couple screws needing I think an 8mm socket.
  13. if you're on a laptop, you should be able to just drag your pics right into the text box.
  14. just make sure it's not the resistor pack or the ground. hate for you to do all that work if it was something simpler.
  15. I'm sure a lot of us have offhandedly said we'd stab any dope that touched our trucks, he just got more of an opportunity than most.
  16. run power and ground to it. if the ground is insufficient, the 12 volts has no where to go. oh, and corrosion can creep into the rear harness connector right behind the rear tire. if the ground wire connection inside there is kaput, the pump can't ground.
  17. I've always preferred to make my own since I can't stand cheap bandaids (the things I use the most in any kit), regular gloves don't ever fit, and I react to some meds. found a $20 general kit on ebay that seems to have an ok list and comes in a waterproof case. could use more trauma ingredients though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/First-Aid-Kit-Home-Survival-Tools-Box-Emergency-Bag-Waterproof-For-Medic-100-Pcs/253932460670?epid=17016561465&hash=item3b1f8dda7e:g:SNsAAOSwQF1bwk4e:rk:2:pf:0 re-edit: here's a clotting sponge to add in: https://www.ebay.com/itm/QuikClot-1st-Response-Advanced-Clotting-Sponge-Free-Shipping/153201836071?hash=item23ab8a8027:g:WF8AAOSwYNlbsjCI:rk:1:pf:0&LH_BIN=1 I would also add in a couple tiny bottles of super glue (fast drying, aka NOT the gel type) because they are fantastic at gluing sharp edge cuts back together. and personally I like to add in a shot of JD. (not to be taken if you are already bleeding profusely!)
  18. the 03-07 Libertys came with the stronger 29 spline 8.25 (disk brakes and 3.55/3.73.4.10 gears) but is actually a bit wider than the stock MJ axle rather than narrower like the 8.8. the extra width helps match the MJ's wide butt (the rear of an MJ is wider than an XJ, that's why the rear tires look tucked-in). car-part.com can help with your junkyard searches. be sure to search for various years because part numbers can change even though the swap-ability didn't and the website searches only by part number.
  19. thieves are usually not too bright. happy the truck is back home time to install some anti-theft measures!
  20. big hello from Loganville! be sure to fire up a build thread!

    Fab skills?

    lol depends on if your definition of a trar is a car tweaked into a pickup, or a car placed on top of a pickup frame. one is a quaint OEM novelty and experimentation of blended automotive design, the other is routinely ridiculed for its poor execution.
  22. I used a ton of caulk on the engine side.
  23. I added a new ground to the harness right by the pump. 12 volts doesn't mean it can also push the amps through. but also the current crop of chinese fuel pumps can't be trusted so you may need to pull it out for a closer inspection.
