I like that idea. gotta see if I can dig up some pics of the various trucks though.

yeah, the drip rail cap is fragile as all get out. nice truck!

yup, it's a heck of a hot spell.

everything is always available for donations. whatever you'd like to put towards our annual expenses. just send me a message with your address and what you want and I'll reply with the paypal account.

very true.

wait, what is that thing? your cold air intake?

it's really coming together now! did I ever send you a comancheclub decal for the truck? I can't remember.

very nice! much cleaner than my tiedowns for sure.

first thought: wow that's pretty cool! second thought: that seems pretty... complicated. I'd like to see it tackling some nasty, sticky mud. final thought: how's the ride if we remove the cushioning effects of the tire sidewall?

I disagree. I'd prefer nothing. I spent a few years reaching in to grab the little rods and I'd prefer that to the rectangle peg in the trapezoidal hole. plus it gave me a place to mount a flag.

the jeeps are long gone. The opposite of Jim's prediction actually happened. Jim sold them for cheap to some random guy that stopped by and asked about them. Katie is the one mad about it.

yeah, I anticipate issues with the steering wheel. but can't know for sure until I get one to measure.

they are indeed in a bus. good eye.

technically this would be for an XJ, but I guess there might be a reason for putting it in an MJ. anywho, I'm working on a hypothetical XJ build and looking to create a flat surface from front to back that I could use as a sleep surface (rear seats would be removed and replaced with a large platform). looking for something like this but a split folding bench. or I guess even these would work if someone could recognize what the heck they are out of. I would just prefer a bench. (I tracked down the pics and the original owner has no idea what they are from)

somebody just finished his build

Jim was around 80 and had a stroke a couple years ago. His health had been dwindling ever since, but he wasn't ill with anything. It was just his time and he went in his sleep.

Just got a call from Katie that Jim passed in his sleep. I'm so glad I got to get out there 2 weeks ago. Got to share some beers and hear a few more stories from an awesome guy that lived an insanely full life. gonna miss you ol' man

nice clean design. I love it

you're not the first to do that, you won't be the last.

in my 06 liberty the abs, trac control and stability control are essentially all the same system and so when one single wheel sensor goes out, all those lights go on. (plus it takes out my cruise control too ). and I've learned it might not be a sensor, but could also be a broken wire running to a sensor or even the ABS computer dying. any failure in the system kills it all.

where is it leaking? from the side of the tank where the gas goes in? or from the side near the center of the truck?

I got a ride last week. and now I need an old Jeep too. it was a lot of fun tooling around town with a lap belt and no doors.

don't forget, your leafs are also old and have been around the block a few times. as long as you retain your main, you can add in just about any combination of junkyard leafs you like. mix and match to find the load capacity you need.

welcome! be sure to start yourself a build thread too!

chrysler reused all sort of identification numbers over the years meaning that particular package was probably for a dodge ram some years later. I can assure you that it wasn't a thing on the comanches
