Motorhead X

We are in a time crunch, JeepPapa and I are trying to make an XJ brake valve work on his MJ so we don't have to tow the vehicle. Can anyone point us to the DIY thread? I can't seem to find it in DIY section. Rear valve is already deleted. Thank you.

Also, never... ever... hit anyone up.

Looks like serious overcompensation to me. The only way he could impress me with that is if he jumped it over his fifteen wives, each in their own Lambo. Evel Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, from Abu Dhabi Knievel.

That motor mount is super accessible right now too. If they need it, now could be the time.

Are you running the stock down pipe? CC member JeepPapa did a lot of work helping me with a Walker brand replacement on my '91. The nuts on bolts to the cat flange were totally rusted on and a few had to be cut off. I really like the sound it makes now with the Banks exhaust manifold I put in as well. Not sure what the requirements of installing a turbo will do to the whole exhaust set up, so maybe you have other plans already?

Wanna drive my $200K Trans Am and do some burnouts? Uh, sure... thought you’d never ask.

I might order a long sleeve and cut the sleeves off entirely. Summer will be here soon. Amazon, love 'em & hate 'em. Thanks for keeping at it amsuco.

Looks great Pete. A fine tribute.

How did the rental turn out?

After everything lines up, if it still chirps, consider buying a better belt. I had a budget one from Autozone that was slipping no matter what I tried. I think I went with a Gates.

Update. I've been over to the property a couple times recently. I inquired more about the YJ with the owner's wife and she stated, "He never drives it, but he'll never sell it." I met him one more time as well and he is hard of hearing, so there wasn't much conversation. Still don't know much about it. So I guess for now I'll just have to take a wait and see approach. Hard to see a nice Jeep just sitting there. We all know that they need to be driven and maintained. I need to swing by with my MJ. Maybe he'll perk up and want to start talking Jeeps. Maybe he needs some help working on it, who knows...

Stick it to the man! Great work. I'm up on the map.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find one because that is a great price. Do you happen to know what year Forrester it was? I think the dimensions of the Forrester have changed a bit over time where the older models were boxy and the newer more curved like newer SUV's. Also, did you punch a hole for the antenna? That is always the hardest part of getting a cover on and off for me.

There is this feature on Google maps. Not sure if it is the right thing for CC, but maybe someone else has some experience with it?

I like those M38's.

Hey Pete... Jeeppapa has a carport similar to the one from Harbor Freight but bigger and its perfect. I really like it. Not much to work with as for sq. footage. at my place, but it's the only parking space that has room to work near the engine, so I am thankful for that.

That's pretty cool, but I only have a single parking space. When I hear people talk about having room for 10+ vehicles I get a bit envious. Someday!

I don't currently have a garage for my MJ and I want to protect it. I purchased a Budge (Empire) cover and although it fits nicely, it is otherwise a piece of junk. It doesn't keep dirt and water out and it also deteriorated very quickly. I have looked at the Coverking website, but they are from $300 to $525. I'll pay that if I have to, as long as the quality is there. Anyone have any other suggestions or experiences? Thanks.

I’m up for it. Will call you.

Get well soon Don and looking forward to seeing you back around here.

I just picked up a downpipe that I have been wanting and there were a few bucks in my Paypal account that I forgot about so it was only $32. Thanks

Merry Christmas to you all... saints and hooligans!

Plus two extra terminals and their connections. One battery and cable set is enough.

Yeah, check those battery cables too... get 'em nice and shiny for a good contact.
