  1. I have Dewalt. A drill and a 1/2 impact. I do not have the XR. I had planned to get the XR. NAPA had a sale on some Dewalt Impacts at the time. I did not check that. I checked last night, and not an XR. I feel the non-XRs are a bit weak.
  2. 'Those would be cool. A friend of ours owns a tool and die shop. The machines in there are fascinating. Also, you own a Bricklin SV-1, correct? If so, you should start a build thread on it. ' I have all those in my garage, except the AMX-3. Look up AMX-3. The Monarch 10EE I have is a round dial, so not metric, nor 30" bed. I do have metric change gears. Running is the issues. I do have a Bridgeport clone mill and a Well saw. Its a tight fit.
  3. I think there were some that were black with a gold outer rim. I remember seeing one at a PnP.

    Spot the issue

    Is it 2wd?
  5. I bought them at a JY. They were listed as for a 2000 XJ. I do not know if there is a difference.
  6. I have a set on a 2000 XJ. I didn't notice any issues. I needed them for the WJ Big Brakes. On the rear I am running a Ford 8.8. I put on a 1" spacer and extended studs. The spacer was made from one of the standard hub centric spacers. Just popped out the studs and used one set of holes.
  7. One of my neighbors has an airplane in his garage.
  8. Monarch 10EE Metric. Working CNC Mill and Lathe. Running '75 Bricklin SV-1. Now if I had the money, AMC AMX-3.
  9. Also, find out what blood type you are. In todays colas, there is usually something to avoid for each blood type. Maybe try a natural sugar cola. The Mexican sodas have natural sugar. I think a little alcohol is good or OK. 3-4 hard drinks , not. One glass of wine or beer is OK, possibly one hard drink. No driving, no firearms, no equipment. Also, 28-32, men go through a transition. If this keeps happening, look into doing a cleanse.
  10. Is it losing coolant? I'd replace the Radiator cap.
  11. So, basically, giving up 25K miles for a $60 part. I saw an oil test rating from Blackstone Labs. The T6 Rotella was near the top on two modern engine platforms.
  12. Basically, that is when the newer oils were introduced. Also, see if that is when newer emissions regs started to take place.
  13. This is basically for vehicles 2004 and newer.
  14. I am taking it as the same year MJ or XJ. The WJ has an extra bolt hole and a slightly different bolt pattern. I don't want to get into that story, but I does relate to what I think you are looking at. There are to my knowledge two different heights of water pump for each year. I do not know why. Then there are the matching height pulleys. I have not run into this personally.
  15. As above to the camshaft and springs. I am building a stroker. I went with Russ Pottenger. He did recommend aftermarket valve springs vs stock if going with an upgraded cam. The diameter of the springs are thinner in the aftermarket, so they do not bind. I would say a bore TB, a 99+ intake and some exhaust improvements will net some results. Also, you might check into injectors. Also, search budget stroker.
  16. I like 'Pirate looks at 40' and 'Life is a tire swing'. Lots of other hidden gems. "Mother, Mother Ocean... you hide treasure most of us never scene, most of them dreams.'
  17. I think Iron Rock list what their speedo gears work with.
  18. But, Come Monday, it will be alright.
  19. OK, since you all are crazy, I won't go insane. Just don't throw me in the Volcano. Or at least give me a Cheeseburger, since I'll hopefully be going to Paradise.
  20. I remember when Tora, Tora, Tora was played on TV.

    Finished school.

    Congrats. Yes, I'm still learning after 30 years of work. Sometime, what not to do. I will say, you will use 10% of what you learned at school. Just don't know which 10%. Jealous of the hidden winch. I plan to get one for a present build. I do have the Boostwerks Hidden winch. It will go on another build.
  22. 'If you’re struggling to get the hub out of the knuckle, try threading the hub bolts back in a ways, but not all the way snug. Then you can beat on the already buggered up bolt heads with a hammer to knock the hub out.' A variation on this, is to put a socket on it. Then some pipe or other extension. See if you can get that to contact another part, and turn the wheel. Maybe you get lucky. I have been working on a D30 out of an '00 XJ out of the vehicle. I feared getting those bolts out. They were all loose. I still have to take off the knuckles and the ball joints.
  23. My Brown Dogs are the rubber version. I did have issues with the clutch fan contacting my 3-row radiator. I was warned about this with aftermarket clutch fans. I use a MOPAR. I installed the Brown Dogs after that, too.
  24. M.O.R.E. , Ironman 4X4 and possibly Stinky Fab have Clevite Rubber bushings mounts. They might replace the top bracket/bushing assembly. I hear they do transmit a bit of vibrations, but not as much as the Brown Dogs.
  25. I have a Logan's on mine: http://www.logansmetal4x4.com/jechxjnonwib.html I am looking at the Bad Dad hidden winch, too. I do have a Boostwerks hidden winch steering box brace not installed for another build. A lot of neat bumpers out there, by smaller builders.
