  1. Thanks. :) Moras are VERY underrated. Gotta love a world-class knife that goes for under 2 Jacksons!
  2. Update: Haven't done much to the MJ, save for a bolt on bull bar, some LED pods, and maintenance. Oh, and I have been using the heck out of it!
  3. Thanks! I'm having issues with my sender too. Hopefully I can find a clean used one. If not, I'll have to figure something out.
  4. Nice. My current EDC is an Ontario RAT1 folder. In the field, I carry that, a Morakniv classic and an Opinel in my bag, and an old Carbon V Cold Steel Trailmaster on my belt.
  5. That's cool! I'm sort of a knife nut, so all comments are welcome. I have been looking for a multi tool for a while as well. How do you like your Charge?
  6. Price is high unless it is in very good shape. If it is 'As pulled' I bet the ball joints, u-joints, and wheel bearings all need to be replaced, and the hubs might be worn or of an inferior design. Most of the D44 aftermarket hubs aren't much good, IMHO the only thing worth running at this point is the Yukon Hardcore ones, unless somebody else has cloned them. No brake calipers is a bummer, and no steering isn't helping even if you were unlikely to reuse it. I would try to pay less. It probably has 3.07 gears also. Realistically you're going to dump $1000 into that axle, maybe more, to make it into something decent. Personally I do not recommend or endorse staying at the factory-ish axle width for tires any larger than 35". What are your plans? What he said. Unless you're going to go up to 35's or bigger and abuse the skinny pedal, a D30 can survive for a long time, especially if trussed and are running upgraded shafts.
  7. Hello all. Looking through some of the threads y'all post, I've noticed that a lot of you guys are outdoors a lot. Do you guys have preffered camping knives or edged tools that you carry? If so, how do you sharpen them and keep them sharp?
  8. SWB trucks started in 87.
  9. It all depends on the springs you have and how sagged they are as well as what kind of perches you got. 5.5-6" is not uncommon.
  10. Drop brackets are the way to go for that much lift on the (relatively) cheap.
  11. Nice score! I'll be watchi g this.
  12. Front hitch is nice to have, I use mine every so often. But not as much as I thought I would. Still, very much worth having. What do you use it for? I've seen a few XJ's around here with them and have been curious.
  13. The trans auxilary trans cooler off of ZJ's is a pretty beefy unit. I'd look into grabbing one from a boneyard.
  14. Tough luck. Next step (in my opinion) is to run a compression test if you have not already done so.
