  1. 6 runs off the "invincible CC"? gotta be excited 'bout that. :D but now even more excited we swept them away. :banana: I might even strap a broom to one of the MJs. :yes:
  2. looks like the Yanks are finally pulling CC Sabathia. :yes: not sure why. batting practice isn't over yet. :dunno: Go Tigers! :banana:
  3. what is your end goal? tire clearance?
  4. can't help but notice that there's a longbed in the frame while they talk about the 113" wheelbase. :D best small pickup ever. :MJ 1:
  5. I used to go out and seek out the unplowed roads in my 2wd open diff 88 with just 30" BFG ATs and a stickshift to make it happen. :dunno: had weight in the back of course, but nothing insane. maybe 150 pounds. never felt like I was lacking for performance. my Dakota was a deathtrap with it's auto and posi and 31" BFG ATs. to each his own, but I prefer open for the rear for its inherent stability and most importantly and from now on: an all-out snow tire. I can beat 4wds off the line with my minivan. :D it's like magic how well those tires work. :yes:
  6. suit yourself. I prefer a vehicle that doesn't threaten to spin me around at every turn. :D far as I know, trac loks were an option rather than standard with a certain package, so just about any rear axle could have one but few will. :( car-part.com might be helpful in your search. but always triple check that the axle the junkyard has is what you're looking for. being 2wd, this could be a good time to upgrade ratios if possible. :thumbsup:
  7. ever driven a 2wd posi truck in the snow? it's even worse. :( I suggest a set of snow tires. :thumbsup:
  8. Tom Woods has a great rep for driveshafts. :thumbsup:
  9. cherokee floors are close but aren't an exact match when you get to under the seats. be prepared for some massaging with the sawzall and bfh. :thumbsup:
  10. I've successfully used the baby powder trick a few times now. sprinkle it around in the suspect areas and the leaks will make trails through the powder, leading you back to the source. windshield, firewall holes, rear window and door seals are all prime candidates, but pretty much anything that could leak has leaked on somebody's truck. :(
  11. or make for an even bigger surprise if she beats you to the punch and asks first. :D
  12. your truck is an example of why I have that big red print in my sig... :(
  13. just making a suggestion on a ring. :D couldn't find one on google with "Jeep" on it. :dunno:
  14. how could they mess up a ride?
  15. maybe, maybe not. I sure wouldn't pay 750 for it. and the engine is only one aspect. condition of the wiring, trans, etc are all important if you're swapping them to a different rig.
  16. They may not look "stout" to you, but I've never heard of anyone ripping a leaf spring off unless significant rust was involved. :dunno: but it sounds like you're looking to go with a 4 link out back. research, research, research! the specific geometry of a 4link will determine how it reacts when you hit the gas or power up a hill. get the numbers wrong and you'll be redoing it. :(
  17. aren't rangers spring over?

    good ol' Super Leatherman for campin', and a Leatherman Juice is always with me. :D
  19. they got sent back. the correct order "should" be waiting for me when I get back in town in a week or so.
  20. are you installing buckets that don't have headrests?
  21. you might want to start a new topic for the new questions. :thumbsup:
  22. or you haven't uploaded it on the web yet, you can email the photo and your screen name to comancheclub@hotmail.com and I can shrink and upload it for you. :thumbsup:
