  1. It might be another 30 years before you realize that is one of life's finer offerrings. Got a pic of that shared moment with junior?
  2. It happens to my MJ routinely when I am in a hurry to get somewhere. I usually turn the key back and forth hard 4 or 5 times and cuss at it. I thought the lock mechanism probably needed lubing. What is the fix?
  3. What was involved in getting it mounted? Did it comes with any brackets needed?
  4. Anyone have any updates on suggestions? I am going to have an 89 MJ body worked and painted. Since new rear bumpers are not available, I want to find a new chrome one that is stronger than the original one but looks like it blends with the truck. Comments on what will be needed for brackets is appreciated also.
  5. Thanks Daeson. I could not find it
  6. Are those diodes which use tubes of different gases for different colors?
  7. How is the Willy looking?
  8. Are the front fenders available new, either Jeep or aftermarket?
  9. It never gets as hot as both of you describe. I don't intend to throw more money or time at it.
  10. We have a conundrum.
  11. I had the core replaced more out of concern for leaks in 30 year old metal than for concern for interior rust or scale that would act as insulators and retard heat transfer. After your comment, i suspect that heat was not great when the trucks were new because of under sized heater cores.
  12. I asked the initial questions about the correct thermostat and whether I should replace a working water pump prior to having new a/c installed on an 89MJ that never had a/c previously. I had a mechanic install a/c without replacing the water pump or thermostat. Not long after that, leaks and rattles were followed by replacing the water pump and thermostat with a 195 'stat. I had the non-leaking heater core replaced with the a/c install because it is a big job getting to it. The heater control valve had never been removed previously which is a good thing. Otherwise, the heat would be on in the same plenum box as the a/c core. Winter came. 195 thermostat in place; good heat expected, right? Nope. Luke warm heat. We get winter but down in the 20s F is cold here. A next step might be to replace the heater control valve with the thought that either because of age or poor original design, water flow may be restricted. For me, optimal a/c is more important than optimal heat. I will probably leave well enough alone.
  13. Good luck finding a new place.
  14. 4 Bedrooms is not enough? You better get busy and make some babies.

    Wasps....ugh

    This thread motivated me to grab a can of Raid and spray a wasp nest by the front door.
  16. No to the 757, but years ago I was on audit teams at the Gulfstream plant in Savannah and got to tour the space shuttle and the private jet of an Arab shiek that were in for servicing. Same two Rolls Royce engines and wings in a 747. You work for Boeing? Share a few words about how you chose your name
  17. Tell us about the flood
  18. Got any other ice fishing pics?
  19. What are those and what bait do you use when ice fishing?
  20. Others?
  21. Very Iwo Jima esque. Score 1 point
