  1. Got a console for mine. It's going really dress up the cab. What is the plan to mount it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. I checked the source of the story here's part of the story from the post "Great Wall has yet to formally declare its interest in Jeep, but a possible acquisition would be in line with chairman Wang Jianjun’s goal, announced in February, of becoming the top specialty SUV producer by 2020. Great Wall “has this intention,” said the public relations director for its Haval SUV brand, Zhao Lijia, when asked about a report by Automotive News that the Chinese automaker wants to buy Jeep. An employee of the press office for the company headquarters, who would give only his surname, Zhang, said, “Yes, we are interested in Jeep.” Sounds like they may make a bid for it. But saying it and acquiring it are two different things. There is some bad blood between Great and Fiat already. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-segment. Seems that Great Wall was copying on of they're cars. This is a quote from Fiat that was published in the Telegraph business section. It didn't look that promising for Great Wall. "However, FCA attempted to quash speculation, saying in a statement that it "had not been approached by Great Wall relating to Jeep or any matter relating to its business", and adding it was "fully committed" to its long-term business plan." Hope they don't sell. Very strong possibility that US government could step in and stop it. Especially if the Chinese government has a stake in Great Wall. I can't quit get a handle on the ownership question. Can't find much on owner ship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. I wouldn't get all twisted up over this. There is no source noted in this story. So what is the source for this information? The source could a guy sitting in an office at brietbart thinking up stories that will stir the emotions of the American people to generate controversy. What better way to do that then to suggest that most iconic American brand of auto world wide is going to be sold to China. That stirs the patriotic emotions. And why in gods name would Fiat Chrysler sale off its greatest asset. An asset whose sale were up globally 17% and cease to take in that revenue. That 17% increase was for last year alone. Globally the jeep brand is growing at an incredible rate. In other wards why would dairy farm sell off his best producing cow and risk losing the farm. And take a tremendous hit on his bottom line for 10s of years to come. Makes O sense. There is an important clue in this story "Fiat Chrysler said on Monday that it had not been approached by Great Wall in connection with the Jeep brand or any other matter relating to its business.” So I'm from MO so you would have to show me much more indication that this had any truth to it. It makes no logical of business sense at all. Why sell the chicken that is producing a gold egg that gets larger each year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Put ceramics on my girlfriends Honda CRV three months ago. She loves them no detectable dust yet. That's what I'm to on my trucks and Cherokee the next time. Pretty sure they were dura last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I worked the rotating shifts in the really screws will your biological clock. When I worked night shifts we did get 1.35 an hour bump in pay. Sleep is the big issue. Continue to work the job and use us day time hours trying to get a different job. At least you have some daytime hours to get to some interviews. Don't make the move until you get the job that you want. Remember the only stress worse then work is not working. Best of luck. I sure liked those three day weekends though. Got a lot accomplished. Who knows you might like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. Heated it up again and threw cold water on it. Put the other break-bar on it. Went ahead turned it the opposite way to tighten and l herd a pop. Put the impact on it and alternated with reverse and forward for about 45 seconds. It finally broke lose and spun off. Wow what a relief. Going to apply some anti-seize on this puppy. Hope the other sides not like this ordeal. Thanks for the input. I Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Having a hell of a time getting the large hub nut off. Have tried PBR, busted my brake-over bar twisted a monkey wrench, tried using heat with a hand torch using Bernzomatic MAP/PRO GAS. Even heated it up for 15min and threw cold water on it. That would give it a rapid expiation and contraction rate and possibly break it free. It was a no go. Any ideas would be appreciated. The truck has 136,000 on it and the hud is grinding. Thanks
  14. I'm good for the first or second weekend in Sept. after that I'm racked up with knee replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  19. Bought an S-10 in 86 off the lot no bumper or radio. Payment was 169 a month. Wish they still had deals like that available for the younger guys these days. It was a great truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. I'm going to give you a tip. Get as much done on the truck as you can before your boy comes because you life is going change enormously. Raising a child is the hardest job you'll ever love. Congratulations all the best the you and your family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I've got 3 cb but there really isn't a great place to mount the thing. But I guess under the dash, drives, side above my R leg. Anybody done that if so how did it work out. That would be so low it seams like it would really take my eyes off the road. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated don't mean to highjack the thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I like it, but I really want to know what kind of deal you got on it. Was it the DDD the drop dead deal of the day? You got me going with your description of how it dropped rite in your lap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Sure can help when your on a long trip. Saved my butt in wicked snow storm one night. Saved me again when I got hit and rolled a car in Texas. Been thinking about putting one back in my Jeep for those long trips. It breaks up the boredom of trips between KC and LA. I'm sure it's dated technology but I still like them. We use them allot in the desert here in CA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Interested how much are you asking for them. I may need 5-10 Jeep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
