Ever since I learned of this middle mouse button click, I've been using it to its fullest advantage. My middle mouse button will be worn out in no time.

Getting her period has always been a good enough sign for me. Ask her to take a pregnancy test for further verification. But, you should be fine.

Who you talkin' to?

Used to be a big PB Blaster fan until I got my hands on Kroil. That's all I use now, plus it's thicker and tends to stick to the parts I spray it on. PB Blaster seems to just drip off onto my shop floor. Also, Kroil smells a lot better :D There was a really nice sale on the stuff not too long ago - $12 shipped for two cans of aero Kroil. Naturally, I stocked up :D

You need to learn to share, Rob :D

This guy seems to lack common sense :D

There are some subtle differences in the ZJ 4.0L's that cause them not to be a direct plug-and-play drop in for an XJ or MJ. I don't know the specifics as I've never had a ZJ 4.0L in my possession, but I've read multiple threads where people complain and moan that the ZJ 4.0L they picked up required additional work to get their XJ accessories to bolt up. It's relatively minor stuff, I believe, but some people don't have the means to make the modifications needed to make it work. An LT1 will probably take my 5.9L MJ, but it's gonna take some work to have it keep up with my supercharged 5.9L ZJ :D

All 4.0L engine are not the same. For example, a later production year TJ engine (I can only vouch for an '00TJ 4.0L as I have one in my shop) is not identical to, say, an XJ 4.0L of the same year. Some of the difference include, but are not limited to: engine mount locations, water pump, oil filter/oil pressure sender configuration, and alternator mounting holes. Also, the engine out of a '95 Impala SS isn't going to power an MJ to a 10 second quarter mile without some serious modifications at which point there goes your fuel economy :D

Glad to hear you got your computer gremlins sorted out. Now, do yourself a favor and click on the 'Bookmarks' drop down button in the upper right hand corner, go to 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Import and Backup' and create a backup copy and export and HTML file. Now you've got two files that contain your current bookmarks.

The paperback versions are better to take into the can with me. I've got several electronic PDF FSMs ranging from 1988 to 2001 for MJs, XJs, and ZJs. I love the search feature on those, but there are many, many service manuals that I cannot find in electronic formats - like body diagnostic manuals, for instance. What's the link to your site? I've been there before, but don't remember the URL.

If you manage to get a hold of the bumper, brackets, and winch and would be so kind as to dimension them and send them my way, I could more than likely reproduce them for the rest of us :D

I probably could have. I'm no woodworker, though, so the thought of having a DIY kit that just requires some 2x4's, a power drill, chop saw, and plywood was very enticing. Usually when I try to tackle woodworking projects, I wind up getting extremely frustrated because I can never get anything square and I'll give up. This kit made it an absolute breeze. Plus, it came with every screw that I needed plus some hangers for tools, extension cords, and hoses. After all was said and done, I think it was worth it - I think if I tried to do it myself, it wouldn't have come out looking half as nice. As for the manual collection, I don't have much yet. A '92XJ/MJ service manual and a couple of ZJ manuals. Also have a Mopar stroker book and a differential repair book. One day I'll be able to fill the shelf :D

$25 more worth of lumber and now we've got some shelving! Much like automan Rob, I've begun to start a little collection of factory service manuals in paperback. Going to hopefully use the middle shelf for all of those as I accumulate them. My desktop PC should fit on the top shelf in the left corner. All I need to install is the 12-outlet power strip and the LCD monitor on a swivel. About time to start cluttering this workbench up!

Wow, didn't know you could even do that! Yep, still works!

That took all of 10 minutes to get used to.

Methinks you have some deeper issues with your computer. The only time I've ever had random toolbars pop up in my browser was when I had some adaware program lurking in the shadows.

I had begun transitioning to Chrome because Firefox 3 was getting on my nerves at times. I've got Chrome on my Netbook and an older laptop I use for tuning DSMs. However, Firefox 4 has halted that transition.

Changed beers. Yes, the bottom bracket with the additional shackle bolt mount is for shortbeds only.

One of my old shop computers is a 1100MHz AMD Athlon w/512Mb of RAM. The thing would come to a crawl when I tried to open any webpage that had any bit of Flash code on it. I was using Firefox 2.0 on that. Went ahead and threw on Firefox 4.0 and it's like night and day. The comp is still slow, but it's actually useable now and no longer a giant paperweight. It may not have really been broken before, but when there are better options available, why not?

I upgraded to IE9 the other day at work just to waste some time. I don't even use the program, but wanted to see if they had actually made a significant effort to improve the interface. So I download it and try it out - still doesn't feel right to me. So later, I'm editing a Word document and I go online to find a template that may be suitable. Naturally, Microsoft Office opens IE9 to the Word templates download page. It hangs up for a while and then crashes the browser. Gotta love when Microsoft products don't even work together right...

Then make a backup file of your bookmarks. Export them to an HTML file for a double back-up. Firefox automatically saves a daily backup too so you should be able to restore from any of those dates. I don't know the specifics of jimoshel's issue other than he couldn't restore his bookmarks and spent a lot of time trying. I've installed this on the three main Windows platforms and didn't have an ounce of trouble on any.

What ever happened to the supposed 6/92 MJ?

I've done it this way before, but I found it easier to pop the ball joint out so the track bar lays down on top of the axle and out of the way.

You don't build up 2WD axles?

The frame likes to rot around the rearmost leaf spring shackles. Take a hammer with you and tap on the inside and outside of the frame rail on each side. It's pretty easily accessible to do this test. The body tub likes to rust and rot all over the place. Look under the JEEP stamps in the tub by the doors on each side. Where the rollbar mounts behind the front seats is another place for the tub to rot out. As with any Jeep, the drive train will last forever, but these are really a niche vehicle. I've had two of them and gotten rid of both within a year of owning them. They make very average daily drivers if you have nothing else available to drive. They don't ride well and the gas mileage is pretty poor. You can pretty much run the 4-cylinder with your foot to the floor in 5th gear and never have to worry about getting a speeding ticket on the highway :D I had an '89YJ 2.5L and a '91YJ 4.0L - both manuals. There are times when I miss them (like the first warm day of the year with the top and doors off), but I don't find them all that practical. I consider 1991 to be the best year for the YJ. Newest one you can get with the slanting rollbars :D
