I did the Teraflex kit on a 44 from an 87 XJ I swapped into my 01 XJ. It is the easy button for sure. Just order the main kit for the axle you have. Order parking brake cables for the Jeep it's going in to. Bolt it up and go. Three things with the kit: 1. The lug studs on the axle are too short. Dorman 610449 wheel studs work well. 2. 15" wheels don't fit well. You can grind down the caliper but I wouldn't. I just went to 16" wheels. 3. The kit is not cheap.

Any CJ/YJ/TJ/LJ is an old Jeep at this point. They haven't made a TJ/LJ in 16 years. And the others are older So while they're generally reliable (at least compared to their contemporaries), they are old and things wear out no matter what. I wouldn't avoid them arbitrarily. But for a daily driver, I would be very thorough going through one and evaluating every single thing on them to make sure they're in good shape. Check any of them for rust and worn out drivetrain/interior. If you find one in good running order you're going to pay more for it but it would be worth it. Of course, people put a high price tag on rusty junk so don't just assume that a high price Jeep is in good shape. Don't be scared of older Jeeps. But don't trust anyone when buying one. Get under the Jeep and give it a thorough look. Verify that it's in good shape. And then buy with confidence.

Unfortunately, there's probably no good way to avoid that. Best thing to do is to be 100% open up front. Most people should be reasonable if you're honest with them. I think if I was wanting a bed I'd be fine chipping in more gas money to make it happen.

That's pretty low for Collins Brothers.

It never hurts to be stocked up...

Looking around, there are some tires in the 33-35" range that are "skinny". 255/80R17 are about a 33.5x10.0 275/70R17 are about a 32.5x10.8 275/80R17 are about a 35x10.8 285/70R17 are about a 33x11.2 285/75R17 are about a 34.5x11.2

I didn't even think to watch it yesterday. Going to break out the DVD tonight.

If you really want to DIY, you can learn to do it and buy all the specialty tools. It's not rocket surgery but it's repetitive detail work and you must get it right. Most people pay a pro to do it. They will supply all the right parts. You drop off the truck and pick it up all finished. It's not cheap but it comes with a warranty and they're usually done in a single day.

Firing up the grill first time this year.

I got the Phizer. My arm is a little sore and I have a very slight fever. But nothing significant so far.

Got my first shot today. Is it weird to start hearing a low murmor? Like a bunch of people talking? And I can't help but think I'm hearing one word over and over. Lo something. Lo... Q... Something like that. I think it's a name...

The AMC 2.5 has the GM small transmission bellhousing setup. So the Chrysler automatic came with that GM bellhousing. Welcome to AMC... If you get an early S10 with a 2.8 V6 and 700R4 it'll have the right bellhousing. The 4.3 V6 and all V8s had a different bellhousing. I don't know about the flex plate. I suspect it would need to be custom made. So it may be possible but it might not be easy.

It makes manufacturing easier.

That was most likely a bronco sport. It's like a bronco only smaller. The regular bronco isn't out yet.

Yeah, headphones and a book was a good way to alleviate the boredom once I was a teenager. That doesn't work as well with younger kids.

I've started the tow rig project. I picked up a well used 97 F250 powerstroke to use as a tow rig. I got it for dirt cheap. It has solid bones but it needs basically everything. I am essentially rescuing this from a likely trip to the junkyard. So, especially given that we're in a pandemic, this clip seemed appropriate. I managed to get it running but I have a lot of work to do on it. I'm going to swap in a front Dana 60 in place of the junk TTB 50 that's in there. I have found a cheap donor for the front fender, hood, and bumper, as well as maybe some other bits I may need. I do have to recondition the interior and will likely have more engine and transmission work. But I should have it running and driving relatively quickly.

We had a bingo game that had 3 number sequences. The goal was to read license plates and find the number sequence to claim it. So for a plate ABC123 you could mark 123 if it was on your card. If you were slow like my dad, we'd see lots of plates as cars passed us. Looked a lot like this: https://www.worldmarket.com/category/gifts/toys-and-games/games-puzzles.do?template=PLA-2&plfsku=524983&mrkgadid=3282585816&mrkgcl=660&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=DecAcc&camp=ppc%3Agoogle%3Apla%2BMerkle_Shopping_PLA|Dec_Acc%2BToys&acctid=21700000001660222&dskeywordid=92700046652376232&lid=92700046652376232&ds_s_kwgid=58700005276978471&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007265821&dsproductgroupid=459145660244&product_id=524983&merchid=5165106&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid=9028740&creative=260704783412&targetid=pla-459145660244&campaignid=1338863925&adgroupid=53808068855&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0oCDBhCPARIsAII3C_GxVC0sL_V1BYk5ROLSq1dZ1h6a-JVNJo1YGy0428c-8rkAMOEy25caApgFEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Someone will pay you for the axles. Ask $200-250 each and be willing to negotiate.
