I figured you were talking about the new F70 "LaFerrari". But 2 million won't get you one of these! http://jalopnik.com/this-is-more-of-the-963-hp-laferrari-hypercar-451069200 They probably requested down payment because you ordered two YELLOW cars. Who in their right mind wants two YELLOW cars?

Yup. Very easy to replace once you have access.

You can get good ol' Made in USA Timken bearings from Autozone.

Congratulations! Your truck is on of my favorite wheeling trucks. Everything is well done!

Kevin, I do not have much experience with the Google Drive (cloud) yet. As I understand it, each gmail account is allotted 5gig of storage space for free. To sweeten the pot, any documents (documents, spreadsheet, slides) in a google format do not count against your storage limit. I actually had documents already stored in the Google Drive since they were documents I edited years ago with google. The 'trial' period allows you to store up to 100gig for 2 years on Google Drive, after that there is a monthly fee. I choose not to activate the trail since I would forget about it and end up paying the fee down the road. While the hard drive on the Samsung is small, it does have a SD card slot built in as well as USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports that support the use of flash drives. The Chromebook is certainly not a replacement for a desktop powerhouse computer, but it is exactly what most people need as far as computing power. I have been getting a solid 7hrs of battery life from this thing. Far better than my 9 year old Dell laptop that would last 1hr on a good day, if it decided to actually charge. I bought the Chromebook at the Best Buy. Heck, I was there and ready to buy so why not? Prices online where the same as the store as well. It takes about 6 seconds for this thing to turn on, boot up and start browsing online. Unbelievably fast.

Whats with the pre '98 XJ thing? You have peaked my curiosity. I believe the WJ will always be a better daily driver. However, it will NEVER be as much fun to drive as the MJ. I would not lift the MJ 4" if I planned on towing much with it or daily driving it. Upgrading the suspension, axles and brakes would be a solid plan in my opinion. Metric ton leaf springs, a D44 or 8.8 out back, non CAD D30 up front with Vanco brakes and JKS control arms with a coil spring to level out the truck with the metric ton rear leaves.

Thanks. Axles are just plain heavy and a pain to move around by yourself, especially if they are 1 tons. I needed them portable since I am working in my, full, garage. I have also been hammering out a cross member design that utilizes the Ruff Stuff 3-Link kit brackets. Kind of a Clayton/Synergy hybrid. Oh and don't worry, the '92 is still underway (I just can't find a mint set of 97+ fenders to finish the paint). I wrapped up the hubs this evening on the D61 after locating a pair of the nylock spindle lock nuts. It has come a long way since it was drug out of a farm scrap pile. And a detail of the Ruff Stuff disc brake caliper brackets: (yes, I know the guide pins are not completely seated)

That seems like an awful lot of extra work to pull the head. It does make sense since they 'shoehorn' everything into automobiles these days. Is there any info on where the machining was fixed? My wife and I keep looking at vehicles for her but haven't looked real close at any of the newer Chrysler stuff.

My guess is that most of the folks who don't have their location visible have simply forgotten to fill out their profile. On the other hand, I am sure there are a few paranoid folks who simply refuse to fill it out.

Maybe you should have another pot of coffee before attempting to pull an engine :doh:

I had a salvaged YJ many years ago that I decided to run a CarFax on. It was reported as stolen from the original owner and then a few months later was issued a salvaged title due to 'damage'. My guess is the original owner had full coverage insurance and let the insurance company have the Jeep when it was recovered.

Very nice. Now pull the tail lights and shine 'em up :)

Not a dang thing!

The Chromebook runs on a Google Chrome operating system, not your typical WIndows. It is directly linked to a google (gmail) account and is how you log into the computer. Gmail is free to sign up for. You can still use other email providers, but not to log into the computer. I had a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea, but it works pretty slick once you get into it.

Jim, glad I could help! Even photobucket works well on this thing. All you need to get going is a gmail email account and wireless internet access. If you have any specific questions let me know. My wife has an iPad. It is a neat device and is why I was looking at tablets (although I am a fan of Android).

I have been in need of tablet/netbook/laptop to use for general web browsing and viewing PDFs (FSMs in the garage) for quite some time. My desktop PC is in my cold basement and using my small droid to browse was getting old. I was all geared up to spend a good chunk of cash on a tablet when I came across these cheap (relatively) Chromebooks: Acer C7 Chromebook https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromebooks.html#ac-c7 http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/26/acer-c7-chromebook-review/ Samsung Chromebook https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromebooks.html#ss-cb http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/07/samsung-chromebook-review-2012/ It seems all operating systems these days are starting to use the 'cloud' concept. These little netbooks just rely on it. What I could tell from my research: Acer - Cheap shell - Glossy Screen - 320 GB hard drive with upgradable memory - Possible to dual boot with Ubuntu on partitioned existing hard drive - Poor battery life, possible to upgrade battery for $50 http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Sanyo-AL12X32-notebook-battery-Li-Ion-5000-mAh/2910487.aspx Samsung - Comfortable keyboard - Solid shell construction - Higher quality matte screen - 16GB solid state hard drive - Good battery life I was torn between the two. The Samsung is appealing since it has sturdy construction, would run cool and has a higher quality display. However, the Acer is appealing with its large hard drive, ability to run Ubuntu and ability to upgrade the memory. I decided to head to my nearest Best Buy to try out the two devices. The choice was very easy to make after using the Samsung and Acer display units. I bought the Samsung. It works well and it boots really fast. It also runs very cool which will be a plus when out in the garage this summer. I am still learning the ins and outs of the Chrome OS and is certainly a learning curve from using Windows machines all my life. With that, I have been trying out what this little rig offers. It does fantastic browsing through the internet, after all, that is what it was built to do. Of course we can leave well enough alone and have to really see what it will do. Thus far, my favorite application is "Chrome Remote Desktop". With this handy application you can remotely connect to a Windows/Mac/Linux PC. Having this capability turns this little Chromebook into a real powerhouse with unlimited potential. I elected to connect the Chromebook to my XP desktop that I used in school for drafting, 3D modeling and photo editing. To my surprise the display was quite legible and there was very little lag, even when orbiting around a 3D model. When you connect to a PC via the Chromebook, it is done within the Chrome browser as that is how the Chromebook works. Here you can see the Windows desktop within Chrome: Image Not Found Luckily you can do a full screen view. It is almost like you are using Windows machine! Image Not Found I just wanted to share my experience with CC and to see if anybody else has one of these computing devices.

I seem to have developed a rear main leak in my Wrangler. I like your idea of removing any fluid that may leak. Time to drain the oil!

I have two in KS. One with headrests and one without. Yours for nothing if you can figure out how to get it to Albuquerque ;)

Gosh, time flies when you are swamped with work and two other MJ projects! New front axle acquired: -1995 F350 (balljoint) Dana60 with 4.10s It was darn heavy, so my buddy helped unload it: New rear axle acquired: - 1981 to 1983 F350 Dana 61FF with 4.10s and LSD It was part of a frame that was laying behind my buddy's shop. It was nasty! Pulled it apart: New bearings and stuff: Chevy disc brakes:

I really like the car show sign! Did you design the sign and submit it to the company, or submit an idea and let them run with it?

I honestly do not know. What little I do know about the Ford D44 I have come across on accident while researching D60's. You will want to make sure what you are looking at isn't a IFS axle and is an actually a straight axle. There is a ton of D44 information on pirate4x4. I would recommend searching, reading and taking notes from that site/forum until you are blue in the face.

If you are considering full width axles, spend a little more coin and go 3/4+ ton. A ford D44 HP and D60 combo (F250) would be a little overkill for 35's....but then again they would be one less thing to worry about. You will spend more on the front suspension as the Ford axles are set up for leaf springs, but they are more beefy, already have big brakes and the front is a HP. F250 axles are common and will cost just a touch more than stock Jeep axles in most cases as the F250 guys want F350 axles.

I have a set. However, the bushings are shot and may have a rusted bolt still in the bushing. I believe you can get bushings from the parts store. If interested, I can find them and snap a picture. You can have them for the cost of shipping.

It is pretty neat stuff and seems to be used for a variety of applications. Several years back there were a few guys on JeepForum applying U-Pol Raptor to darn near everything. I haven't been over there is quite some time so I don't know what the total outcome was. I have seen somebody spray the inside tub of a Wrangler with the tintable kit. It looked darn good and the color match was nearly spot on. On the plus side, I was able to use the U-Pol gun and a 3M wand to apply POR15 to the inside of my frame rails :) I used 3 of the 4 quarts to do my longbed. I looked at the roll on stuff, but it all seemed a little to 'aggressive' for my liking. Don't want to tear up my dog's feet when he goes for a ride.

I did the Upol Raptor. If you have a decent compressor this is the way I would go! http://www.tptools.com/U-Pol-Raptor-Spray-On-Truck-Bed-Liner-Kit,2600.html?b=s*raptor I bought the kit for $130. Looks like you can get it for $110 now.
