The US has passed 100 million fully vaccinated. That's not quite 1/3 of the population. But the rate of problems popping up from the vaccine seems to be well below 1%. Still, there is plenty of anti-vaxer nonsense circulating out there. https://apnews.com/article/ny-state-wire-coronavirus-health-1b7dd49a70a5232dca0cf2431d4da7b3

I run 265/75R16 tires on my XJ which are about 32" I have 4.56 gears and really like them. They're good overall. Good around town and not too much on the interstate.

The kind that makes the joke work.

I had a girlfriend who hated climbing up into my Jeep on 35s. She said either the Jeep goes or she does. I do miss her sometimes.

It depends on the locker. A picture of the differential with the cover off would help identify which locker it is.

Round 2 with a sheet of ABS plastic. The lights fit a little better but there's still a hair of adjustment I want to make on the gauge positions.

Got my second Phizer shot yesterday morning. Felt a little bit achy late yesterday afternoon. But I'm feeling better this morning.

What it comes down to is one simple fact. Knowing you're right isn't the same as being able to prove you're right. A lot of people who were right have lost in the courts because proof is a lot harder than knowing.

There's lots of documentation online of people using a divorced NP205 backwards in the frame. You run the driveshaft to the 205 tail shaft. The "front" of the case faces back to the two axles with 2 yokes, one for each axle. In essence you are using the 205 as a splitter.

Too old to be a Darwin candidate. He's probably already passed on his genes to the next generation.

4 speed automatic is possible. And there's no telling what may have been swapped.

Some of us have to stick our fingers in the light socket a couple of times before we learn.

Yep. Been there. Done that. Welcome to the club.

Another late season snow day.

If it's music you like it's good music.

I'm working on that. I'm going to have to run some extra wires. I'm probably going to cut the factory harness and put different plugs on so it's a quick disconnect.

Bets on how long until you lose one?

Got the first round of replacement dash gauge layout taken care of. I'm going to fabricate a flat steel or aluminum sheet metal replacement for the plastic dash piece, including the lights on the left. I've been measuring and measuring. I got a basic template sized up. And I'm using poster board for the first template or two. Obviously, I'm going to move a few things a little for round 2. But it pretty much all fits. Gauges, beyond the obvious speedometer are, left to right, top row: Air pressure (on board air), Tachometer, Water Temp, Fuel level (all Autometer Z-series). Bottom row (all Autometer Autogage): Temp (oil), Oil Pressure, Temp (Transmission), Voltmeter.

Start regular morning exercise now. And get used to getting up at oh-my-god-its-early. If you're already in the routine, I'll make the transition easier.

We're getting some much needed moisture so I'm not gonna complain too much.

Dana 35. 4.10 most likely. Auto or manual?

Makes sense.

Not so much here...

It's a blast. You should have it high on your "to do" list. But then clean the truck afterwords and it will lose some of the appeal.
