Although i found the beaver story amusing, in all reality, its seriously SAD.

Lucky you! I was gonna $#!&can those!

Harbor freight has em cheap!

Nice pickup. Ill own a 86 4 cylinder some day. :brows:

When you have questions like this, you need a simple reference with pictures and step by step instructions.. Thats what I was referring too. More power to ya using other methods..

Pretty sure you should have a build thread for said trail rig. Just sayin'... That POS is hardly worth a picture.

Miller Hill is Duluth area. Used to the the local dealer for many years. Miller Hill Jeep. Its now a Subaru dealer and the chysler/dodge/jeep/ram dealer is across the highway. Ive looked at this picture a few times but just noticed the massive "Miller Hill Jeep Eagle Isuzu" on the side.. :doh:

You need this.

Quoted for truth!

Heavy Equipment Operator in a steel mine. I run some of the biggest Caterpillar Equipment in the world. 992G Loaders D11 Dozers 994H Loaders 793C, D or F Trucks.... and about 12 other pieces.

Change out the ignition switch. Easy, cheap part to replace. Check out your Haynes or Chilton (i like haynes) for instructions on replacement.

Also check out IRO for steering. I use their setup on my trail rig and it works fine. I bought mine used, and its the first gen of their steering. The newer one is refined. In what way, I'm not sure. http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-TOTKS&Category_Code=XST I have also used the already recommended U-Turn steering system by ORO. Very nice complete bolt on.......if you have deep pockets!

Anybody got a new source? I think I'm missing a few from the last engine I pulled . Just for future reference.

Got another XJ this weekend. 2001 4.0/AW4/242 261k Runs and drives nice. New daily driver.

Nobody can make that kind of story up. You know someone actually did that!

Price?

You know Duane eh? Didn't know that.

That's is what Archer Racing used back in the late 80s and early 90s in their MJs; 2.5 4 cylinders.

"Get a Suburban" Quoted for truth! Haha!

Wow! That's scary stuff. Upgrade to a double shear style. Iron Rock Offroad is the company I use.

How much does all this weigh? Holy smokes.

Doesn't Ford have to make parts for 10 years after the production run? I know that is the case with Sterling when they put their name on a Dodge Ram about 5 years ago. They have to make that special grill available... For 10 years.

Yes. They where special order work trucks for RR companies and mining companies I believe. There was a factory one featured in one of the diesel mags in the last year. I think it was Diesel World. "Family of Cummins" I believe the article it was called.

Most I ever towed was a 6X10 trailer with a ATV. I didn't have a real receiver hitch, just a bumper hitch.

Computer?
