  1. dang. usually the weird things are fixed that way. :(
  2. that kid is going to have the best birthday parties :D congrats! no baby photos?
  3. try purging your internet cache.
  4. sorry 'bout that. it is here, I just haven't been able to get out to the credit union yet. but I've got some free time today to attack the backlog of other errands piling up, so I'll put it at the top of the list. :thumbsup:
  5. do you have a multimeter?
  6. an attack spider? niiiiiiiiice :D
  7. while we're on the subject, if anyone might be wondering exactly why lots of little wires work better than fewer larger ones, electricity actually flows along the outside surface of a wire. the more tiny cables you have, the more surface area you have. :thumbsup: (this of course assumes I'm remembering that class correctly. :yes: )
  8. seriously!? no one celebrated halloween this year?
  9. try purging your internet cache
  10. Just put some diesel in the libby.... ...for $3.74 a gallon... not that long ago I would have thought that was a decent price... :(
  11. send me a message with your name/address and I'll mail those out asap. :thumbsup:
  12. who's got pics of your kids/grandkids/self or in my case nephews this Halloween? :D Zayne went as Raphael Alec went as Mickey.
  13. 2wd and 4wd leafs were rated for essentially the same weight capacity. just the arch is different and it's only slightly different. to help control the wrap I added in a second main leaf from another pack. I just cut the eyes off and stuck it under the current main. seems to work pretty good. :thumbsup: longer perches work too. don't forget, the single biggest variable in swapping around 25 year old suspensions is sag. all these numbers are reasonably pointless if the leafs are tired. I went from tired 2wd leafs to like-new 2wd leafs and gained over an inch (that I didn't want). lost some flex too, :( but that should come back with use. :D on that same note, going SOA lifts your ~5" over your current height. It may not match any particular lift's height gain in the front.

    Rusted Out MJ

    It's a terrifying thought, but we do not in MN. nothing here in MI either. I for one am happy about it though... I wish that there was at least some kind of inspection... even if it were only when every few years. I think it'd keep a bunch of the scary crap off the roads. When I was working in repair you wouldn't believe the vehicles that some people would drive up in! :eek: problem is the government takes it too far. ANY rust becomes "bad" rust, even if it's just a fender. :fs1: all of my MJs would have been hauled away if I lived in (I think) Massachusetts because they would never have passed inspection. :(

    It's a terrifying thought, but we do not in MN. nothing here in MI either. I for one am happy about it though. I've seen the rust-naxis at work in other states and would never want to deal with that legislative crap.
  16. I bought the 2 ton model several years ago and love it. I've used it to pick up all sorts of heavy items; engines, axles, entire front ends of rigs, to rocks bigger than a bean bag chair. :D very handy tool and so far has been problem free. :thumbsup:
