  1. as long as you can overcome the search function, there's a ton of info. :D just be patient and you'll find the right truck. :thumbsup: chances are that craigslist will be of more help.
  2. :( that sucks!
  3. is there room for an intercooler? space is pretty tight up there. :dunno: personally, I prefer cutting a hole in the hood :yes: (no , that's not mine :( )
  4. yes it has been done. :thumbsup: I wanna say they used either an oven of a heat gun to carefully separate the 2 pieces, but don't know for sure.
  5. only a couple weeks usually before people go back to work after removal. been there done that. I am curious why they are waiting that long on the removal surgery. :hmm: It's usually outpatient and very straight forward. I could have had mine that very night, but waited a couple days for an appointment with the regular doc that does it. either way that really sucks. :(
  6. I had a weak spark in my 86 and it turned out to be corrosion on the input of the coil.

    Filko

    can't beat art that's also useful :yes:
  8. just cracking a joke about the body cladding. hence the :D
  9. it's the most aerodynamic wrangler yet! :D
  10. the ballast resistor has been my go-to suggestion for years now. the theory of course being that if the truck starts but stalls, they might assume it was just a pos truck. might be enough to get the amateurs. I now add in a second idea of a fake killswitch under the dash, but not too hidden. let the thief find something if they are looking. :thumbsup: it just doesn't do anything. or better yet, make it trigger an alarm! :yes:
  11. I bought a radio with bluetooth/usb/aux, and rca outputs (no CD player) for about $20 on ebay. only issue has been I didn't pick one that also dims the radio lights. :doh:
  12. moved a friend's entire laundry room to his basement and gutted his small bathroom and restructured it's floor.
  13. another vote for there's nothing wrong with those rpms. :thumbsup: the 2.5 is not the 4.0 and torque is at a premium (hence the 4.10 gears). heck, 2.5/autos came with 4.56 gears. :yes:
  14. I would start with an r-134a adapter kit. AC issues are hard to diagnose without the proper gauges and tools.
  15. that's an awesome donor you bought! which MJ is getting the engine?
  16. you couldn't pay me to cut away at solid rockers. I went with more traditional tubes tucked up to the body but punched through the frame and welded to both sides. nothing touches my rockers (which have since gone missing anyways since it's a michigan truck). just throwing it out there. :)
  17. pretty sure all the bellhousing bolts are standard
  18. I wanna say they are 3/8", but am not sure of the length. I suggest grade 8 studs rather than bolts. then you can use them as guide pins :thumbsup:

    Armadillos!

    I drove through Missouri the other day and I'm pretty sure the state animal of MO is the upside-down armadillo. :rotf:
  20. was it in the classifieds? did you follow the rules?
  21. the libby is the closet thing I have to a DD and it of course has a matching spare. but I also carry a puncture repair kit and a co2 tank because; eagle scout. :D

    Jeep Collection

    oh my word... an event that's actually near my house! :eek: neat!
  23. your new ride strikes me as more comfortable :D
  24. Pete M

    Looks like new

    you are most welcome :thumbsup: was a fun challenge to find all the parts I needed :yes: (never did find a foglight lens though :( )
  25. 2 ton floor jack (plus one jack stand). it is with me always. works great with the minivan or the MJ on 33s.
