A guy in my local Jeep club has two of them. Pretty darn cool. He has one with the tilt bed and hauls his CJ around on it. But it tops out at about 57 on the highway.

Y'all in the south marry 14 year olds all the time. So what’s wrong with someone in the NW do'n it? At least it's not his cousin. :clapping: lol... I guess Buddy Holly had a double whammy then.. Relative Humidity: The sweet that gathers in the small of your cousins back while in doggy style... That was Jerry Lee Lewis.... In other news.... Sarah still creeps me out... Looks a little like our old cat that would sit in the windowsill and watch you do stuff...

Sarah's eyes creep the heck outta me... I think they are following me...

Hmmm.. being a shotgun guy.... I'm having no problems whatsoever.... Just bought .410 for the lowest price I have found in a long time.

Damn.... I would so LOVE a set of those seats.... Grrr.... I hate stupid Illinois insurance requirements and the way it has killed all the good JY's...

I havent run that large of a Mud Rover... But they run a little small, they are heavy and kinda stiff. But they don't do badly aired down. About average for road noise.

Someone probably should have told the author to sober up before inventing quotes from Mexican government officials. They read like a Woody Harrelson/Mark Tunei monolouge. Dope proponents can point to idiotic garbage like that "article" one of the reasons why they are looked at like they are stupid....

X2.. Identical symptoms... and I have a manual so it was exactly the same as yours. I moved the wire and taped it up... It was just fine until I could get it replaced... -
Not quite. Octane measures the tendency to pre-ignite. Adding ethanol increases the octane level. 89 octane is still 89 octane whether it has ethanol or MTBT or whatever that stuff is called. Ethanol is also not too good for rubber fuel system components as it has a tendency to corrode rubber, nor too good for the top end of your engine as it washed the oil off the cylinder walls. Government thinks ethanol is great because it is produced domestically and works fine in their fancy 2009 model cars. They don't care about those of us who can't afford to take out a second mortgage to buy transportation and are stuck driving old junk that was never designed for ethanol. But with less available energy, even a flex fuel vehicle will get better mileage and last longer engine wise with less ethanol and more gasoline. Incorrect.... My 99 Dodge Mini-van with the 3.3 Flex-Fuel motor gets a combined 18 MPG on E-10.... On E-85 it gets..... a combined 18MPG... If your theory worked correctly.. we should see less MPG... Also when the fuel price climbed to $4.35 per gallon last summer.. E-85 finally crossed the $3.00 barrier.. topping out at $3.09 per gallon. My 5.2l 94 ZJ normally gets around 15-16 MPG combined on E-10 or no lead. With a 50/50 mix of E-85 and E-10.. I averaged 15.5 MPG.. with one tank that was almost all interstate I got over 18 MPG with it.... And since the mid-80's pure rubber in fuel systems has been rare and getting more so. Nitrile Rubber and Viteon have replaced it. Both of these are alcohol resistant so they don't corrode. Also the mini-van is the older generation that had an alcohol sensor in the fuel tank. This allows the ECM to alter the engine settings to compensate for the change in alcohol content. The secret is not change fuel concentrations back and forth constantly. And how much was your ethanol without the socialized government subsidy? Personally.... I don't care... $3.09 is better than $4.35 any day of the week. I don't live in a state with a significant oil company presence like you.. but I do live in an area with an Extremely large grain farming presence..so we are going to see it differently.

I'll bring my trailer... and I guarantee mine won't cause any problems.... Pat.... I have been where you are a few times... Ready to sell everything, get one decent DD and be done with the entire scene. But then I work on something small to scratch an itch and it helps my mood. So I still have my MJ.. its been almost 6 years I've owned it and I still haven't done much to it. Id have to agree with Rob. Get rid of the worst, keep the stuff you can use. Clean up the mess, even getting that done could spark some more interest.

Check out Uship.com Its owned by GreedBay.. but you might be able to find a decent shipping deal on there.

If he is gonna hack it up and throw it in his boat or truck... the 500 hands down. If he wants to keep it and treat it well.. paying for the 870 makes sense... I have a 870 Wingmaster... and its a great gun. But beating the heck out of it will never happen. If I was looking a gun to do that with, a 500 or even a Maverick 88 makes alot more sense at least from a financial standpoint.

How about building a thrift side bed from a J-truck???
-
There are a couple of title service places that do them by mail/phone. They advertise pretty regularly in Hemmings Motor News.
-
Hahahaha!!!! Good to hear that someone's adventures sound like mine.... Don't suppose it would have the short center console???
-
I wondered that also.... In the pic of his Nissan.. that looks like a Saturn wagon being showed????? :help:
-
There is one for sale about half way between my house and Dave.... So they are out there...
-
Well... the free cap won't work... Its 62 x 97... Too bad... free and close to the house is always a good combo. Dave... I'll pm ya....
-
"Classic" went off the air last week. :fs1: Shows you how much I'm on GreedPay....
-
I found a cap on CL that is from a late-80's Dakota single cab Long Bed. How close of a match is this cap to the demensions of a Comanche Long Bed???
-
I still use the 'classic" e-bay motors... it runs slow.. but not as bad as the new one
-
I'm not sure where to PO found the post.. but its a 6x6 treated post... and he was from Wisconsin(the home of Menard's) so I call it my Menard's Off-Road Bumper. I'm planning on using it to make a base for a yard shed to clean out the garage so I can actually work on stuff in there... Got a chance to take some pics of Pedro today... Here is what my starting point is...
-
How about an vibrating abrasive bowl??? You put the media in it, put the parts or tools in it, turn it on... I've used them when I was building classic cars to restore old hardware.

Yummm... good beer in the intake.... Two problems with the Beer-in-Boobs idea... A. Sucky beer.... B. They make your beer get warm.. and if she starts bouncing up and down.. foamy... Wahoo.. the one in white has your current beer... the one in the green you next one. The girl in white doesn't have enough stuff to keep a full beer from falling into the pool...
