sort of newb question but i've been getting a few different answers from people. what type of oil goes in a puke goat ba10/5? ATF or gear oil?

thinks for the info foreman1063. looks like i have some work to do on my truck before i go. new windsheild, parking brakes need fixed, i need to put a cat converter in it as the PO hollowed the old one out and reverse lights. well at least it's one step closer to getting the old manche to what it used to be. :wrench: thanks for all the help, looking forward to the move!

thats right! i got a new job and am moving to nc so my question is what do i need to do since i need to pass inspections in nc. there aren't any inspections in florida so... oh and who's in the durham/raliegh area? hoping to meet some fellow manche enthusiasts! :cheers:

ok sweet! thanks for the quick response.

i really don't know much about axles so i figured i'd ask the pros. it's an 8.25 on a 94 xj, i was just checking the brakes in the rear when i noticed when i was pulling the wheels off that i get and in and out movement of the whole wheel. it's about a 16th of an inch movement. what does this mean?

if you're really want to sell it, i'd love to come take a look at it. i may be interested.

if some more people want one, i wouldn't mind making a few for a very reasonable price.

congratulations on your birthday!!! you'll find soon that gear wrenches are the best ever!!!

so i had some inqueries on my light bar. i figured i would post some pics so ya'll can see it better. basically it is an XJ roof rack made to fit the MJ and used as a light bar. i got a plug thing at an electronic surplus place in orlando called sky craft. i think it works really good making wires go through the roof. here's some pics of it all, roof rack, light bar, fuse box in engine bay with a relay powered by the battery and turned on by the ignition.

i usually keep junk in the glove box, ergo junk+ipod=scratches all over the ipod. also i always take it with me so it's easier to take in and out of the truck.

got a new ipod, so i thought i'd figure out a way to mount it on the dash. i made myself a little stainless steel bracket that fits right under the stock clock on the dash. the new ipod nano has a clip in the back so i just clip it on, plug it in, and i have all my music available controlled by my raidio remote.

it won't be a problem, from the looks of it, TSA is going to be replaced with some other private security company in orlando anyway. people don't like the new security proceedures :fs1:

oh! and another one! http://orlando.craigslist.org/tls/2070504003.html

here's one in orlando fl. http://orlando.craigslist.org/tls/2070590972.html

i've got a millermatic challenger 172 that i got from CL for 300. i use the same welder at work and it's what i learned to weld on. very easy to use, definitely get gas if you can, even just a small bottle. also your dryer is most likely 220, i just unplug mine and run the welder to that when i need to use it.

just a thought cuz i've seen it before, check your sway bar, it might be twisted. also check the bushings and such.

88 Pioneer 4.0 auto 2wd D30 D35 Sitting at the U pull and pay in orlando. bone stock, don't know the miles, no gauges. don,t have pics, got the sticker the JY uses to track inventory and a VIN tag mounted on the Radiator support.

been reading on some thread on hear about sway bars and such, decided to do something about my sway bar situation. i haven't ran a sway bar on my truck for like two years. i know thats stupid to do, the old sway bar link was hitting the spring on one side and couldn't figure it out so i ran with out it. went to go look at it the other day and figured it out finally. i guess at one point the PO changed one of the links, and used one that was a different length. so of to the JY i go. i found one on an 89 XJ country that was 1 1/16 of an inch, the old one was 15/16. so i installed that and man what a difference, drives like a go cart compared to before. hardly any body roll. Also found an Mj there today, 88 pioneer 4.0 auto 2wd. no tail lights, messed up tailgate, anything MJ specific was pretty much gone or messed up. the B pillar interior pieces were there but weren't absolutly perfect so i didn't get them, mainly cuz of no extra dough. got the VIN and such, even found a VIN tag on the rad support, drilled that out and got it. got one comanche emblem too if anyone needs it. so all in all it was a pretty good day at the JY. too bad i didn't have a camera with me.

i wondered that myself so when at the jy one day i cut one apart from a laredo. there is no black plastic on that one, the steel steering wheel, some padding and then the leather wrap. i don't know if thats the same on all models, i would asume if it's not black plastic originally, then there's nothing underneath the leather but padding.

got one of those plastic wire covers from the jy yesterday so i spent some time cleaning up the wires under the hood this afternoon. looks much better around the fuel rail. also got some clips for the smaller coolant lines running along the valve cover. gotta install the tubes for the heater core this week cuz its going to get cool soon. also added lights to the tags on my rear bumper. the camera over exposed the pic cuz i had it on no flash, it really isn't as bright, just right :idea: i should be a poet! :thwak: or not.

finally got around to installing some LED lights for the tag. i got those bolt type lights with the LED's on the one of the bolt, they were on clearance at advance auto for 5 bucks. install was easy. took a pic but took it with no flash and my camera over exposed it, making it look super bright, really not though, just enough to light up the tag.

i was wiring in a plug for trailer lights today, worked out pretty good. after i did that i noticed this under the tail light. someone please tell me this is not how the factory spliced wires i removed the duct tape and put dielectric grease on the splice and then taped it all up.

i have plenty of travel in the pedal. it's technically just for the looks. i still can't believe how much more awesome the brakes are now. anyone need a comanche booster or mc? just pay shipping or pick it up and it's yours. just thought i'd ask before i toss it in the dumpster.
