  1. If you haven't come up with one yet $20 shipped.
  2. 15k sounds about right but has he put a firm price on it yet? Or at least a starting point? Or as the old horse traders would say. you tell me how much you want. I'll tell you what I'm prepared to pay. We both have a good laugh. :laughin: Then we get serious.
  3. I don't have or need a horn. I mounted a 155mm cannon and turret from a surplus army tank on my MJ. Needed spring boosters and heavy duty shocks . Somebody gets in my way, or just annoys me, I swing the turret around and point the barrel at them. Gets better results than any horn ever did.
  4. Made this one from a '75 J10. Been thinking about either mounting a tool box or a spare tire on the tongue to put more weight up front.
  5. First liar ain't got a chance. :yes:
  6. I got my low mileage, no rust, MJ for $12 and a cat turd., With the cat still grunting. :yes:
  7. These make awesome Jeep trailers! Actually they make terrible Jeep trailers. Axle sits to far forward making them tail heavy.
  8. .041 for the 2.8 regardless of in a Jeep or GM
  9. going purely by smell, blonds are better than redheads. Ever been to Ireland? Don't know if this applies to the AW4 fluid though............. I have been to Ireland, and I did meet a Blonde. She smelled like burnt Dexron II with a little kerosene mixed in. Maybe I just should have sniffed around in a different area.
  10. :agree: X2 and my own WOW!!. Beautiful.
  11. Unfortunately I have never found out which is better. Blonde or Redhead. By the time they're through fighting over me neither one is any good for any physical activity. And as for the number of Jeeps owned, restored, rebuilt, parted out and just plain gone through, I will match my record against any body here. I have flushed trannys and engines. I have also left them alone, just changing fluids. Sort of play it by ear. Each one is different.
  12. covered your tracks that well, eh? :D LOL Got interrupted for supper before I finished but the point of that diatribe was 'Sh*t happens."
  13. Having been trained and working most of my life as an electronic tech, communications and data processing Jeep wiring doesn't bother me to much. I've seen the times I was pulling the hair out but stuck with it and found the problem. I believe the only time I was ever stumped by a gremlin was in '74 while working at the Kwajelien Missile Range. They lost a missile 5 minutes after launch and didn't find it again until 20 seconds before splash down. It was pinned down to one of the receivers i was responsible for. Had more PhD's brain power going thru that set and they never did find out what happened.
  14. Two of the best ways in the world to start an argument is to ask which is a better sex partner, A Blonde or a Red Head. The other one is to ask about flushing a transmission or engine. Both guaranteed to start a heated discussion.
  15. 115 PSI is a good reading. Not going into ALL the variables that will have an effect on it. Much more important than the value of the reading is the comparison between cylinders. They all should be within 10% of each other.
  16. I've used both a small grinding stone and a rotary file in a 3/8 hand drill. Clamp the drum down solid and set something up where you can rest your hand on to steady the drill. Don't get in a hurry. A pain in the butt but it gets the job done.
  17. Mount a switch under the seat, under the dash, some inconspicous incunspicous, unobvious unnoticeable place. Instead of jumping the plug run two wires to the switch. Have to flip the switch, or use a push button to start the engine. Sort of an anti theft device. Wish I could find out what happened to my dictionary. LOL
  18. DOT-5 is the only thing I been using. Except once when I broke down and lost all the fluid. 70 miles from home, no DOT-5, Filled it with Dexron AT fluid. Got me home, and then some.
  19. http://www.rockauto....app3l2v4jnmi096 I checked this site, posted by Don, and they had a dozen sources listed with prices ranging from $9.99 to $160 for a master cylinder. Several of the sites only had 1, 2 or 3 available.
  20. Just ordered a master and slave cylinder from AutoZone. $100. Should be here Wed. We'll see.
  21. Getting ready to replace a couple ,four to be exact, master, slave cylinders on a couple MJ'S. Heard about where guys replaced, repaired their cylinders and they leaked due to inferior seals. I'm looking for recommendations on which brand names, or sources to avoid and which one are OK. Quality comes before price. :thumbsup:
  22. Sounds like some one should be busy flagging every time they see that ad.
  23. I'd be very worried about a set of ball joints shipped in a package so plainly marked 'FRAGILE'
  24. The USS Kitty Hawk is in port and they're having a open house so the taxpayers can see what their dollars are being spent on. A little boy approaches a sailor and asks him what his job is. The sailor, a signalman says " I'll show you" and picks up his flags and acts like he's signaling a ship. When he's through he puts his flags down and says to the kid "that's what i do", The kid says "WOW!, Your a cheerleader"
  25. Since it does it every half turn pretty much tells you it's a Ujoint. If it did it once every turn then it would be stripped gear in the steering box. There is a bearing in the coluum ust below the wheel. Not likely the problem.A hard pull, or yank, sideways on the wheel should be firm. No give.
