  1. so... Tech is not a classifieds forum. if you'd like to sell your parts, you need just 5 more posts and the classifieds will open up for you. if you're confused about what prices to go with, please understand that buying and selling is a fluid process where as interested parties make offers and counter offers. your initial asking price matters far less than you think. so post up a a couple other threads to get to 10, and then put together a nice classifieds thread with pics and prices and then I'm sure the counter offers will roll in.
  2. I know of one that's south of Denver. If that's close enough for you to go fetch it, let me know and I'll contact them for some pics and details.
  3. and start a project thread very envious!
  4. yeah, that was a lot of fun. I love seeing so many MJs in one spot!
  5. it's not rusty, it just has the light-weight aero package. makes it faster. I had an 86 with the 2.hate engine. best part of that engine is the fact the 3.4 goes right in.
  6. spellcheck is apparently overrated I mean, it's right there on the emblem! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Commanche-Fender-Emblems-1986-1992-Ford-Commanche-Truck-OEM-Fender-Emblems/113069792734?hash=item1a537c1dde:g:0A4AAOSwDZ1bJXLC

    pucker factor

    I grew up in the suburbs of southern michigan. spent a lifetime catching spiders and whatnot in little cups and taking them outside so they could carry on with their day. live and let live, I say. these days I spend a lot of my time in the backwoods of georgia and the 6/8 legged wildlife there can GO TO HELL! it's like living in a damn jungle. Everything is super duper aggressive, even the worms! I keep on top of the spraying and do it with a smile on my face, sometimes while muttering obscenities under my breath. see what you've done to me georgia? you've broken one of my core beliefs in ways I didn't think possible.
  8. halfway through kansas. except for a lack of wifi, so far so good. 100* with a stiff cross breeze. ack. on schedule for tomorrow's meetup. got a call from enterprise and I might be getting an "upgrade". we'll see what that entails tomorrow. on the plus side, theguy said he'd be happy to give me a ride to the train station on tuesday so I can get to the airport. see you guys soon!
  9. because a long long time ago people called the area the midwest.

    Junkyard Score!

    very nice very nice indeed.
  11. looks like a solid platform to build from. be sure to add details in your signature.
  12. wow! that's a decent chunk of change!
  13. documenting your build and sharing with friends is precisely what this is for. I'm just saying that if you have a question about a thing, the Tech forum will get more eyeballs looking at it and thus a better shot of getting the answer you seek. not everyone looks into the projects forum.
  14. this forum is for blogs about your project to show us all about what's going on. tech questions from the OP should really go in the Tech forum so more eyes will see them (and the answers will then be searchable by others looking in Tech).
  15. I know I've seen a couple MJs with shortened XJ racks on the cab. I just can't seem to find them. also, what about a headache rack?
  16. you just need 10 posts in other areas to open up permissions to the classifieds.
  17. satellite image shows some interesting looking cars on property.
  18. mine failed. spring rusted so bad it broke (the truck lived in michigan most all its life). a long spring worked as a bandaid for a while but eventually sitting around in georgia caused the rest of the linkage to seize up and so I just swapped out the whole assembly for a clean junkyard unit. I love southern junkyards!
  19. says 7pm PT. min $50 purchase. Maximum $100 discount. https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0606/66165.html
  20. now there's something you don't see every day... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y5g2wrpr3ycgqhm/AACHfYSJ9BIatKJbLIIexuZ_a/XJ?dl=0
  21. whichever you go with, use longer swaybar links rather than sway bar spacers. the bolts that hold up the sway bar like to snap off, even on relatively clean MJs.
  22. somebody stole your temp permit?
  23. I've made my reservation for the rental van. same price as a car with unlimited miles was just too good to pass up.
