    all I'm saying is that only snow tires act like snow tires in the snow. :thumbsup: I've had decent all season tires in winters past, but snow tires are just awesome. :D But they do give a shorter life span. in a perfect world, you'd have a spare set of rims to swap around.

    is the AT2 a snow tire?

    I thought the auto trans in 86 was just a 3speed. :dunno:

    go south. don't buy a rust bucket simply because it's close by. there are plenty of non-rotted trucks out there, you just need to go further south to get them. :thumbsup: and I wouldn't pay more than 500 for a truck in that condition.

    and upgrade the carb too. or swap in the chevy fuel injection. that's been done too and I hear it's pretty simple.

    I bet he's happy so far. Giants are up 5-0 in the second. :D

    I was told my 99 stuff didn't have a bleeder, but it did in fact have one. took a tiny allen wrench.

    do you live in a county with a sniffer test?
  9. Pete M
    what size tires?
  10. Pete M
    that's awesome! :banana:

    Going SOA adds 6" of lift. and the XJ perches are in the wrong location for an MJ. XJ perches are further apart.

    yup. :thumbsup: cherokee floors under the seats are much flatter.

    that's the best part of the future, it doesn't have to repeat. hopefully the Tigers will have learned from last time. or should I say, hopefully the coaching staff has learned from last time. there's only a few players left from that '06 team so these new guys are free to write their own story. :D

    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:

    looks like the Yanks are finally pulling CC Sabathia. :yes: not sure why. batting practice isn't over yet. :dunno: Go Tigers! :banana:

    what is your end goal? tire clearance?

    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:

    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:

    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:
  20. Pete M
    ever driven a 2wd posi truck in the snow? it's even worse. :( I suggest a set of snow tires. :thumbsup:
  21. Pete M
    it should. :thumbsup:
  22. Pete M
    Tom Woods has a great rep for driveshafts. :thumbsup:
  23. Pete M
    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:

    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. :(

    or make for an even bigger surprise if she beats you to the punch and asks first. :D
