:yeah that: Aaah so , I'm going to try that to remedy same on-going problem :D

After all this time & frustration I hope he does a first class job for you . I wouldn't have the patience to put up with the guy myself :wall: Good luck :cheers:

:cheers:

The "Gold " trim thing done to the max , but that's easy to change . I had a '89 white/w gold , sure enjoyed the full time AWD . Just think of it as a MJ with a permanant canopy :thumbsup:

30's are on ! All's good , much more comfortable & quiet too :thumbsup: Now to replace the speedo gear ( there's got to be a link to get the correct size ) to get a true reading :???:

:agree:

Hey guys , you always come through with great info :cheers: I'm going to go ahead with the Michelins on stock Jeep alloys for now , as I've already adjusted the steering stops previously when I went to the Nokian 235/75 r15 's about 5 years ago . The front suspension project can wait a while ( that sigh you heard , was my wallet flinching every time I mention "project" ) .Most of my driving is commuting 'bout 80 km ( 50 miles) a day and 3-4 trips up country to the B.C. cariboo ( mountain ranch country ) on Forestry roads which are challenging but hardly hard -core off roading . The old girl has served me well for a lot of years ......she's a keeper and I'm a Jeeper . :D

The tires are Michelin LTX M&S . Bought them on CL for $80 with 70% tread ( used on on a Wrangler ) . Plan to mount them on stock Jeep alloys (15x7 ) . Considering new or upgraded front springs as I'm sure after 23 years there's bound to be a sagging factor . .......Hey Pete , your photo must go back a few years ? .....I think this may give me the inspiration to attend to getting the front suspention up to par ( long over-due ) :cheers:

30 x 9.5 x 15 will these clear at stock ride hieght ? Currently using 235/75 r15 with no issues .

Well said :thumbsup:

:agree:

:agree: Nothing like a clean & low street truck :thumbsup:

Great looking MJ , welcome to the clan :cheers:

Talk about ignorant ...... :yeah that: Enjoy being " hassle free " = Pi$$ off mate :wavey:

this ^^. they are all the same basically no matter the color (RTV). The small difference is the additives. the red is useless and most likely to leak. Hence why we call it redneck sealant. You can be sure most any repair with red sealant oozing out everywhere was done by a toothless redneck who couldnt fix a sandwich. (though toyotas trans pan gasket maker is reddish and ive used it) blue, i don't see a point. The only 2 i use are the black and grey. Reason being they are what get me by when i don't have hondabond (grey) or toyota FIPG (black). Those are the 2 best silicone type gasket sealants i have ever come acrossed and i keep them on hand at all times. I mainly use them on valve cover gaskets in just the needed spots, and water pumps and T stat housings. For most other stuff i use Kuril T, loctite 518, gasgacinch, yamabond, and on vintage builds where many pics will be taken and every single aspect is important, permatex indian head. :) FWIW There are only 3 companies that actually manufacture RTV Silicone Sealants (Patent Laws ) GE ,Dow-Corning & Rhone -Poulenc any other brand you find is actually made by one of these three ( GE & Dow-Corning in North America ,,, RP Rhodosil for the rest of the world ) Private brands are a big part of the business for all 3 but there are no "special formulations " The RTV's used for Aviation/military applications are a whole other world ( and cost the world ! ) EG. Jet fuel tank gasket/adhesive $ 250 ( Semco 6oz cartridge ).......Your two favorite RTV's are made by R-P Rhodosil :thumbsup: :cheers:

:yeah that: YUP

RTV has many good applications ,,,,BUT , Oil , Gas or any other hydro-carbon will de-grade ( reverse the curing ) . Mfr.s blend carbon (ultra black ) , iron oxide / copper (hi-temp gasket maker) & or arsenic ( bath-tub antifungal sealant ) to overcome / minimize inheirant weakness's in RTV Silicone sealants . :smart: RTV =Room Temperature Vulcanizing ......

This getting old aint for sissies , a good sense of humor will get you through . I admire any guy that can laugh at his own foibles :thumbsup:

:offtopic: WTF is this :yeah that:

There's a pretty good evaluation of vent positioning on the "go Jeep" site which documents under hood temps at low & high speeds ....Worth the read :thumbsup:

:yeah that: He did pull the trigger , :teehee: Hope to see you back soon Erin :waving:

Didn't you say " Selling My Comanche " a few months back ? We all say that , but never pull the trigger . :hmm:

Bed sizes : SWB ( short bed ) 6' - gas door mid-way between box frt.& wheel arch , LWB (long bed ) 7' gas door abuts wheel arch . Canopies ,Tonneaus , lots for SWB , hard to find for LWB .(yours ).......BTW...Welcome to the club :cheers:

Door edge plastic guard ( black or chrome ) availible at any parts store , works fine . :thumbsup:
