  1. I've done it twice. Once to a '60CJ and again to a '70 J10. I didn't have any loops in the garage floor I trusted so I rolled the front wheels onto a steel girder and used it. Wrapped a heavy chain over the far outer end of the axle and beam and placed a 20 ton jack under the differential. The CJ came out perfect the first try. The J10 had to be done twice to get it right.
  2. Good Luck with your Corps Career. Do you have some one you trust you can leave the keys with? Have them start it and run it for 20-30 minutes, enough for the engine to get hot and the battery charged? Don't have to drive it but move it back and forth a couple times, Do this once a month. If not, Jack it up and get the tires off the ground. Makes it easier for some one to steal them,,, er,, keeps them from getting a flat spot spot. Many a time I have deployed and just let it sit until I got back, Sometimes a year. Actually for just 3 months I wouldn't worry about it.
  3. Aren't we all? :cheers:
  4. A rattle can paint job I did back in 1990. Bought a case of 24 cans. Had 4 cans left over when I finished.
  5. ^^^^ What they all said. With proper preparation and paint application you can get a good looking rattle can paint job. It just will not hold up Or last as long as a gun type job.
  6. Go to the ignition module and check for output from the tach terminal. More than likely it's a dirty or loose connection between the tach output terminal and the gauge cluster.
  7. Just a bit far for me. Wonder if he'd deliver for a cold beer?
  8. YEP!!
  9. No. The reservoir is much flatter and the lines are on the other side. Tried to take a pic but the flash wouldn't flash, and it's dark out there.
  10. This MC isn't like that. It's symetrical with the divider right in the middle.
  11. for what it's worth. Been pulling parts from a '96 XJ to put on a MJ. The bowls on the brake master cylinder are the same size. It has disc front and drum rear. Never noticed or paid attention to this B4 but because of the recent discussion thought I'd mention it.
  12. , The larger reservoir always feeds the disc brakes. The smaller resrvoir always feeds drum brakes whether they're in front or back.
  13. SNOW? :dunno:
  14. A good start would be to feel the heater hoses and see if hot water is reaching the heater core. With the engine warmed up and the heater controls on 'hot'
  15. Politics summed up in one amusing story..amusing but sadly true!!! Heaven or Hell? How it works. Heaven or Hell? While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven... So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity." The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell... Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls to the ground. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders. "I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? "Yesterday we were campaigning. Today, you voted." Vote wisely on November 4, 2014
  16. Exactly. Even looks like the same bucket.
  17. And once again. it seems I cannot post a pic
  18. After reading the above posts, it became very apparent that some folks just don't know the difference between a "bucket seat" and a "hole in the ground" These, people, are bucket seats. .
  19. The guy, and his wife are a couple transplants from Southern Calf. They just haven't gotten climatized yet.
  20. On the $60 I made tonite betting on the Donkeys,,,,er,,,Broncos. :yes:
  21. Can't find crap about this in any manual or book. Appaarently you're going to have to visually inspect the meter and see if it has terminals for electrical or air hydraulic fitting. An inspection of the boost components should give a clue as to what it is. Look for a hose or electrical fitting.
  22. Tach should be under 1K when idling, around 550 RPM, then increase when additional fuel is introduced to the engine. Check the speedo cable and see if it is OK.
  23. Hey hombre,,,You are of course correct. I just got in a hurry and didn't go deep into details. :thumbsup:
  24. You're not going to find a more accurate signal source than the power line coming into the home. The voltage may fluctuate but never the frequency.
  25. You can check the tach for operation, accuracy yourself. All you need is a 12 Volt transformer. Hook the two input leads from the tach to the 12 volt terminals on the transformer. 60 cps = 3600 RPM.
