awesome! :thumbsup: my future projects :D

:doh: didn't think of that. guess I'm back to my original statement that trailers are easy to steal. :(

never get tired of the old races :D

the scca rules forbid anything bigger than the 4bangers, probably to keep things competitive and safer.

found it! of course, I'm assuming this is you :D

trust me, I tried to find it. :( guess I'm on too many jeep pages. :doh: what days were you driving in what states? maybe that will narrow it down. I can't imagine there were too many MJs towing MJs in the last few days. :yes:

yup. the long bed is 6" longer behind the rear tire and 6" longer in front of the rear tire.

gotta put the pic's address in the pop-up photo dealie. :thumbsup: and I swear I saw a photo of your trucks on facebook somewhere. somebody saw you and snapped a pic while they passed.

trailers are so easy to steal. :( a small piece of chain wrapped around that chain and the thieves' hitch and away they go to remove the rim at a nearby location. I prefer something that locks the tires up, but even that is only a deterrent. :fs1: need to get one of those tire boots that cops use :D

one of my favs for sure :thumbsup: congradts!!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . alright that's enough silence... fire up that sawzall! :D

from what I've read, re-arching is kind of a temporary thing, meaning they will just go back to where they were before. :( and it won't increase the rate so they will still sag under a load. I vote for a combo pack. use the 2wd pack's main (or whichever main is in better shape), cut the eyes off the other mains as leaf #2, then the next 4wd leaf, then its matching 2wd, then 4wd, then its matching 2wd, etc. assuming everything is in decent shape, that should give a small height boost and plenty more load power.

how does the explorer rear rotor compare to other rear disk applications? are explorer parts bigger than ZJ or KJ rotors? what's a modern 1/2 ton pickup running these days?

have you looked into tires yet?

can't say Ive tried, but looking at the clearance of the 15s, I'd doubt it. :( plus, do 14" tires exist in regular sizes? I've only known them on tiny cars and trailers.

the brakes are a whole 'nuther story. :(

beefy!

short answer is: yes. :thumbsup: long answer is: I don't know all the details but I do know that it's been done before. :yes:

I used a long brass punch. steel could dent the engine block. a bit of soap helped put the new one in. a word of warning though, if you in anyway nick or bend or otherwise damage the new seal, stop and get an new one. in fact, buy 2 while you're at the store. :thumbsup: also, make sure the silicone on the oil pan has had the full opportunity to cure before starting up the engine. :yes: as you can tell, my first RMS didn't go so smoothly. :( if I remember right, I dropped the pan 5 times. :fs1:

neat!

puppies are the best :D

apparently I prefer to have trucks that don't work. take that thieves! :rotf:

rat snakes are a native species and a good thing. :thumbsup: they are very effective at limiting rodent populations. :yes: In the end I want both around and so we'll be adding bat boxes somewhere before we seal up the vent (don't really want either one inside the attic), I'm just not sure where I can mount one that is snake-proof. :hmm: I mean, the snake scaled the outside wall of the garage to get up to the vent. that's some talent right there. :ack:
