What's your guess on price? Don't really have any good yards around me, so my experience is very limited.

Just because, I thought I would do a little Photoshop action to see how they might look. Pretty good, I'd say.

Just an add-on question. What do you when one of the studs turns with the nut? Sent from my HTCD100LVWPP using Tapatalk

Me too! Would have to build a set over time though.

I'm assuming that was a while ago?

Me again. Her to cause trouble. So, holiday lighting is judged, but Santa, Three Elves or Two Santas Fighting is an instant win? Lucy, you have some esplaining to do.

I was looking around the webbernet and saw that in 84 Jeep had some five slot wheels on Grand Cherokees. The slots were squared off. Then, I read that some Comanches had those wheels too. I've not seen any Comanches with them or even the five slot mags. Has anyone?

Hey bluenotenick, I'd like to chime in here. My sisters and I went through this a year ago with our Mom. Yeah, it sucks! Anyway, his sister (your Aunt) really needs to be on top of the care he's getting. Thankfully, my younger sister was our shark. She takes no bull from anyone, especially when it comes to family medical. Even though we had our Mom in a very nice center here in NC, stuff still gets through the cracks. Wrong meds, wrong diagnosis, wrong treatments, poor care and even abusive caregivers. It's all a potential issue at ANY care facility. We only had a few minor issues because my sister was cracking skulls if she saw the slightest wrinkle in the works and the management was very good at taking care of business. Not trying to worry you and hopefully your Dad will receive quality, stress-free care.

Okay. As promised, two-for-one BIG Turkeys!!!

DING!!! That's what I'm suggesting. The prize-givers need to be okay with the value of a prize item and not mind offering said prize. If it's too much of a loss, then don't do it. The trick is in the percieved value of an item. A radio, for example, is too much for a small, niche forum, as you know. However, what do you have in your shop that could be used as a prize? Something relevant, good percieved value, and something you wouldn't mind parting with? I'm using "you" to mean vendors in general.

Yeah, I know that's not going to happen. What I don't get is that I did not insult CC at all at any level. I'm glad it's here and I'm glad to be a member. However, offering solutions is apparently a bad idea around here. Sheesh!

Really? It makes perfect sense. As a said, if you're NOT making money from this forum, then getting more eyes is going to be VERY difficult. And, if the Mods, no matter how long they have been involved, no longer have the energy or interest or motivation or whatever to do what is needed to make it better, why bother?

You just found your problem. If the Moderators have no faith in their work, no one else will.

My two-cents as a casual member. I like the idea of a photo contest. The prizes are only an issue because I, personally, don't consider a discount on a luxury item for my truck a prize. The discount really needs to be half-off, minimum. Ideally, free. Now, I say this as a maker and business-owner, so I have a leg to stand on. I'll put my money where my mouth is as well. My current medium is wood. I would be glad to turn some shift knobs out of domestic and exotic hardwoods to be given away as prizes. Steel hitches and hand-turned wooden shift knobs are apples and oranges. I get that, but the point is, even if you don't want/need a wooden knob, you still won something, which is better than winning a chance to buy something. Make sense? As far as page views go, that's uphill battle my friend. CC cannot compete with FB. I have found Tap-a-talk to be a good tool for keeping up with CC activity. It can be a PITA, but not so much. I had not used it until I joined CC and I've had it for about six weeks. Getting "more eyes" is a simple matter of exposure. How do you get exposure? Sponsorships? That's a tough one if your forum is not a money-maker. Maybe members can offer options for more exposure? Also, I'm going to post my "Turkey" image this evening. And @krustyballer16, no offense intended by any of my comments. It's only my opinion.

Well, your sample page is more informative but, suffers from a severe case of "Function is Beauty." I good landing page needs animated flames, lots and lots of chrome textures and maybe some skulls. Or, if that's too extreme, you could just pictures of kittens doing cute stuff. I'm no help, I know.

I was just wondering the same thing.

Well, I never have been good at following directions, so I skipped to item 11. My throttle body was a black, crusty mess. I gave it a Seafoam cleaning and it does run better. The high idle is mostly resolved. I will go back and do tips 1-5. I thought I would just throw these current symptoms out there. From a cold start, the high idle is gone. From a hot start, it's a crap-shoot, but when I get the high idle it calms down after a bit. The idle increases some when moving auto shifter to Park.

Very nice! Wish I had your fab skills!!

A bit. My guy just replaced the whole cable and cleaned the terminals because of the voltage drop.

Are you ready for this crap? Are you sure? Well, I had the correct switch installed correctly the entire time. That's the good news. The bad news is, I'm a dumba$$!!!!! When testing the install, I just loosely attached the neg batt terminal. Of course, this was enough juice to power the accessories, but . . . NOT ENOUGH TO START THE DANG THING!!!! All I had to do was correctly tighten that dang terminal. And the real kicker, I knew that, but didn't do it! Many thanks for all the help offered and let this be a lesson for an ignition switch replacement. PROPERLY reconnect the neg batt terminal!

I'm in the midst of MJ resto myself. I would suggest you have a trusted mechanic give it a looksee. It will be worth a fee to have list of things from a pro. If the owner is not keen on that idea, walk away.

Well, if I can't get the stock switch to work, no way I'll get that to work!!! Be sure and document it.

Is there a write-up/link on the keyless option that can share?

Did not know that was an option. Hmmm.

Well, the CC has not disappointed! I really appreciate all the info/suggestions from you all. However, I must admit defeat and have the biatch towed. I'm not proud.
