  1. I meant to post this here and ended up with a new thread. A lot of guys with wheeling with he trailblazer/envoy run spacers, to increase the tire size you must run spacers because the control arm will rub the tire unless you move the tire out an inch or so. The trailblazers/envoys are such a small market with an odd ball lug pattern that there are very few rim options out there so most of those guys run spacers or an adapter that gives them a more common lug pattern which lets them go with bigger tires. The other problem is the spacers are ~$400 per set so for us jeepers, we can get a pretty good set of rims for that.
  2. EXACTLY what I needed, many thanks!
  3. I think so. It has a curve right around the dimmer switch area and runs down the steering column toward the floor. I can't tell where it really ties into anything and wasn't able to see how it came apart.
  4. ok, I'm just about done with my wobbly steering column fix. I'm putting everything back together and I don't remember or didn't see how the dimmer switch rod ties into anything. Does it just sit there and something hits it when everything is back together or am I missing something?
  5. ok, here is my good running no rust $600 MJ. I haven't checked the floorboards yet but I have to pull the seats anyway so i will check then. I just bought it yesterday from my neighbor. it needs the steering column tightened up, seats swapped out and acouple of seals and tires and a radio :-)
  6. I like advance auto. i've never had a problem with a return for them. i once bought a crankshaft from them for a 98 explorer. my mechanic installed it and realized it didn't have the same number of bolt holes for the flywheel as the old one. he pulled it back out, i took it to advance. They saw that Ford switched mid-year. I couldn't find my receipt. The store manager dug through all his receipt tape, found a copy of my receipt and then paid the mechanic for his labor. That's service if you ask me. They may have some parts that aren't OEM quality but most of their parts are fine for me.
  7. I got an old laptop from work that I run Ubuntu on, I love it. It is what i use all the time when not working. The family pc, I use AVG antivirus. I also run malwarebytes as well as Ad-Aware, spybot search and destroy and Glary utilities. AVG and spybot run all the time. i run Ad-aware, malwarebytes and Glary on a periodic basis. Malwarebytes is one i just started running. A tech guy at my ISP recommended it. It is pretty fast where Ad-Aware and SpyBot can take an hr each to run a full scan. I ran Malwarebytes recently and then ran Ad-aware and SpyBot after and they didn't find anything so Malwarebytes is pretty good. Glary utilities cleans up registry problems. i'll have to say that my computer doesn't seem to be as fast as I would expect. i think it might be from having all these utilities running on it. It is an Hp with 2.5 GHZ with 512MB ram. I might try upgrading the ram to see if that helps. It doesn't seem to run any faster after I run the cleanup routines either.
  8. I also understand that ethanol wreaks havoc on two cycle engines because while oil won't mix with water ethanol will.
  9. If we think about it, the concept is pretty simple, more flow = less filtration. I sometimes wonder though if you could make a good filter but with more surface area and some kind of mechanism to draw more air in if that would give you better flow without sacrificing air quality.
  10. going that high won't he also likely need a slip yoke eliminator?
  11. those senders and gauges are notorious on the XJ for being unreliable later in life. I would check the gauge and the sender.
