    You have something to do with music? Maybe you were thinking Adagio for Strings?

    You lasted longer than I did. Yep, only 4 notes. But that is that music.
  3. Congrats on your new house. Your taillight prototype looks as promising as anything we have seen. We look forward to your completion. If you need assist, I volunteer young Daeson, aka EagleScout526, (without his advance permission). He would be a great facilitator.
  4. Sorry Pete on your grandmother's passing. Find comfort in knowing she is at peace and suffers no more.
  5. Your efforts are appreciated
  6. Customs laws are strict. Some years ago, I was subpoenaed by Customs to testify in a case because I as a landlord had rented office space to a Chinese national. He was exporting parts of night vision scopes to mainland China. The FBI knew of it and visited often. They were interested in learning what they could about inner workings of the Chinese communist party. They warned him of potential Customs trouble. One day Customs raided his office. FBI agents happened to be stopping by but left with the raid in process. The guy went to prison for 10 years for exporting technology to a US adversary.
  7. NAFTA, which came about in 1994, allowed exceptions for some electronic parts. Because of that date, it is probably not relevant to your part.
  8. Generally yes under the US Customs Act of 1930 with subsequent amendments. There are allowed exceptions. A relevant one is if the purchaser-end user (AMC or Jeep) imports a whole container and the container is marked with the country of origin, then each part does not have to be marked. Most automotive parts are purchased through separate companies. Betsy Devos, Secretary of Education, inherited her wealth from her father who supplied parts to automobile manufacturers. Her brother, who also inherited wealth, started Blackewater Enterprises if you remember about that.
  9. US Customs laws require that the country of origin be marked on the item unless it is made in the USA. That is a very big deal. Competitors are who usually report a failure to indicate the country of origin.
  10. Airborne, still working on the tailgate handles?
  11. Carolinabeachman are you still with us? Any progress on the taillights?
  12. Unwind a wire coat hanger and run the curly end into the drain tube from the engine side of the firewall. If it pees freely, you found the problem. If the ac is a new install in a MJ that never had ac there is a pop out plug in the firewall that needs to be removed for the drain line. Also the firewall may have been bent so straighten it and seal around the drain tube. I had ac replaced in one MJ and installed in another MJ that never had ac. Between the two, I had those problems. You might check to see if your leak is coming in at the wipers. That drain might be clogged.
  13. That will be a trip you remember the rest of your life. You have put words together in such a way that we are there with you. Great (old) truck that we are familiar with. Would tying the soft top down to bed level reduce the flapping and prevent tearing? If time allows, visit Baxter state park if you enjoy wilderness. You will see moose. The Appalachian Trail ends in Baxter at MT Katahdin.
  14. Dakota, the new bride and the fur family's first anniversary!
  15. Daeson does a great job finding nos parts. He is not adding any markup for himself. Add something extra if you will so he can fix up the T'bird that is twice as old as he is plus 10 years.
  16. What kind of nut job is looking for a hood hinge?
  17. What's happening at the goat farm?
  18. Those look great. Where is that camp? Am I too old to go?

    Ax Throwing

    This has nothing to do with Jeeps but does anyone have experience with ax throwing? Any advice on types of axes? Any comments on target boards?
  20. What are you accomplishing? Increased accuracy? Extending life of the stock?
  21. Got a pic or two?
  22. The verdict is in. Deemed a scam by the brightest minds on CC !
  23. I had thought that but a phone number is listed. A Colorado number but supposedly located in eastern Virginia. Looks nice for 23 years olds. Maybe a little ole lady drove it only to church on Sundays.
