.I didn't quote anything when I first wrote it, but then I edited and I thought I would throw in the "shall not be infringed" part. My paraphrase is a good one, but I figured some people (like you, for instance) might not get that without it..And a word of advice to you: don't go bringing "armed prisoners" as an example to support your argument unless you aim to undermine your point and make yourself look like an @$$. As an acquaintance federal district judge told me (to negate my point in my argument with her against the death penalty), "the rights of criminals have been limited because they have transgressed against the society which offers those rights".. .Again, my paraphrasing. Read it in the spirit it was written - for reference, see the Federalist Papers and other writings of the founding fathers: .Because A well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. .They feared the power of a standing army and wrote specifically about its dangers, and instead sought reliance on a citizen military. Standing armies bring with them the advancement of the power of a class of professional soldiers, with accompanying abuses of power that are attendent with monopoly of force. The biggest threat is of a military coup..Think that is outside the realm of possibility in a modern society? For examples to the contrary look at other nations today, or just go back in the history of the USA: the most recent example of an attempted military coup was in the 1930s. Go look up Major General Smedley Butler and his testimony before Congress for a bit of American history not taught in classrooms..Know the definition of a militia? It is a citizen army. Militias have traditionally provided their own arms - whatever they can afford and have been allowed by their governments:.Disarming a populace takes away the power of the people to resist tyranny, therefore the founding fathers put in a constitutional guarantee that citizens never need be subject to it by ensuring that they would always have access to arms - all arms, whatever they could afford that would allow them to be competitive in a war (not the muskets to which you refer - "ARMS", without limitation):. .Don't go there dude - you will lose.

On my 88 only the lower lights flash.

.Probably CraigsList. . This ad went viral, right? Someone has to pay for all that traffic, and CL probably choked on the bill. . Great ad though - CL should have been glad for the publicity! :rotf: It should have been added to the best of craigslist section.

Flagged For Removal!!! Why was this flagged??? Of all the crazy crap on craigslist they flagged this??

There should be a pressure switch below the master cylinder. I would check that too.

Low oil in master cylinder will do it too.

And anouther thing I bet not one member of congerss has the smarts or the gumption to keep a Jeep Comanche on the road!!! We should run this country I think we would do a much better job!!!

Agreed, term limits would be a big help.

.I did not know that reasoning behind the SC's decision. (Don't agree with it either, but then I disagree with the SC quite a lot in recent years.) Still, that only legitimizes the law, whether you like it or not (I don't, as I said, just on general principle). . Insurance companies already own a huge chunk of this country, so if there was profit in it for them it doesn't make sense that they fight it through their Congressional proxies. Note that I am not at all against them profiting from their business one bit, either - as private enterprise, they damn well better show a profit or they won't be in business for long. You are correct in shooting down the car insurance analogy too - I hadn't thought about it. . I am not sure what would be the best solution for universal health care, but I know Obamacare ain't it. I've lived and worked in a number of countries, and all of them had better options than what we have here - among industrialized nations I think ours is worst in that regard. Unless you are prepared to throw the uninsured to the wolves and abandon Christian/civilized ethics with regard to being your brother's keeper, there must be at least some minimal level of care offered to all. It is after all what divides man from beast... But I don't think for a moment that either the current state of health care or Obamacare are the way to demonstrate the excellence of our country to others. . All the above aside, the law is what it is. If there need to be future attempts to repeal or amend it, that's fine - but for now Congress just needs to end this partisan crap and get on with their business of legislation (preferably repealing 2 laws for every new one they pass - then maybe in 100 years or so we'd be back to a decent level of government). Poor people in this country already have insurance its called Medicare and Medicaid. The problem is peoples priorities and the fact that they choose to not purchase insurance and spend the money on toys. To those people I say let them get sick and let them figure it out. I am so tired of people not taking responsibility for thier own lives. I believe we are our brothers keepers but our government handouts are not a hand up it only keeps people dependent on government for their life style. I have worked in other countrys as well and our poor people would be considered middle to upper class in those countrys. We have the richest poor people on the face of the earth. There was once a day in this country where food stamps and wellfare was for emergency not to live off from cradle to grave.

The supreme court rulled that it is a tax thats why we are still dealing with it. Originally it was called a penalty but that was ruled unconstitutional buy the supreme court so now its a tax. The law states that everyone is required to buy insurance or pay a tax. It is also very good for insurance companys. They do have to take high risk people but also all people are also forced to purchase insurance if they want to or not. I don't agree with the car insurance argument because its your choice to drive a car but with the health care tax you are required to purchase a product just because you are breathing. The only politicians in this particular case that are doing the bidding of corporations are the dems giving wavers to unions and big business but refuse to do the same for the individual people and small businesses. In my opinion the republicans are doing what the people who elected them are asking them to do.

And remember the rear springs in the xj will not fit the mj.

Did you put the cover sheet on your TPS report?

There are several things to look for as clues. I look for aftermarket control arms and to see if the track bar has been relocated or is adjustable. Sometimes on xj they have lift blocks on the rear, those are no good for the mj but when you see that you know something has probably been done to the front. You may also find part number or tags that you can recognize the name on. I found an mj with a skyjacker lift and got the part number off the track bar relocation bracket. When I called sky jacker they told me the bracket was for a 3" lift. Be careful when looking because when the trucks are up on stands the suspension is dropped and it looks tall even though its probably stock, also if the engine is out the front is up higher than normal as well.

Where are you in Sweden? The company I work for has a factory in Umea and I am planning to visit next year.

You need a torx bit for removing the seat belts ill try to check the size in the am.

I would say its normal to shift a little hard with cold oil. My truck does but only for the first coulpe miles.

No wonder they went belly up they never sold anything between 1958 and 1978!!! LOL

If its burnt you will be able to tell by the smell. In my opinion if the oil is burnt the damage is already done and fresh oil probably won't help much. I am sure there are lots of opinions, change it / don't change it I always struggle with this.

It has been said that sometimes when servicing a high miles auto trans that has been neglected that after the service the trans fails. This is because the new fluid will clean out the garbage that is stuck in the seals and it will slip. I have experience this with an older car but I don't know if it applies to the aw4. If the oil is red I don't think you will have a problem if the oil is already brown or burnt I would not change it and run it till it stops. But thats just my opinion. I am always nervous the first time I service the auto trans in a used car.

You don't need to change the engine.

And always thought the worst selling cars were the ones I have tried to sell....

It could be the head gasket but you will just need to check and see. It should not be hard to find with 3/4 a day leaking. When you are driving oil can blow about anywhere up, down, back, and even forward. don't forget you have a timing cover and front seal to look at while your in there. Try the purple power and a car wash and try to see the sources.

I always understood that its not good for transmissions with synchronizers. Large truck transmissions do not have synchronizers and that is why double clutching to down shift and no clutches for up shift is required. I don't think its the end of the world if done properly but I do belive it will shorten the life of the synchronizers.
