Yeah. Looking around at the reports it looks a few places got over 3 feet. Closest I could find to me said 15 inches or so. Of course, the wind caused the drifts to go higher.

Yeah, I moved the MJ to make room for the other vehicles for this reason. Once spring takes hold I'll probably shuffle them out to make room for the project work.

3rd time for me. Both my drivers are in the garage so no cleaning it off. Took the XJ on 32" Duratracs for a spin. Plenty of places a regular car would get stuck. They're plowing but it's still blowing so it's drifting up a bit.

Just got done with my driveway and half of the neighbor's. Already covering over.

It's drifting up a bit.

Building up pretty good here too.

Just got in from snow blowing my driveway and the new neighbor across the street. Can't really tell because its blowing. But 4-6 inches off the top will help out a lot later.

Picked up a little bit more here too.

Tough call. I'd lean towards metric just because it's easier to keep the numbers straight in your head. Dealing with fractions in your head takes a few extra seconds each time. But honestly I'd be happy with either so long as every fastener was the same standard. Mixed SAE and metric on the same vehicle is a pain. Waffles or french toast?

It's always a good idea to have a pressure regulator with a bypass return line when you run an electric pump. The constant flow of fuel keeps the pump cool. It's not mandatory, just a good idea. You can fit a length of hose in place of the pump and install an external pump. Depending on the pressure provided to the TBI, you maybe could just put in a pressure regulator with the factory pump. If it's like GM TBI with 15 PSI it could work. If it's up above 40, a pressure regulator may not work. But I'd personally try to get the TBI running. I like it over a carburetor any day.

Total accumulation is only an inch or two so far. The storm isn't done though. Tomorrow will bring more.

¿Por que no los dos? Hershey bar with or without almonds?

It's been snowing all afternoon but it's only just now starting to accumulate on the concrete.

Starting to stick now

Snow is here now. But not accumulating yet.

Yeah, the math is well understood. Trouble is, there are so many equations to run that even our biggest computers can't do them fast enough to be useful. They can generate a very accurate forecast for the next 24 hours. But it takes weeks to generate it. So it's not useful. Yet.

Rain has started here. Could turn into snow. We'll see what happens.

I keep thinking back to this...

They do tend to exaggerate a lot. But 1-2 feet or more is a lot. It probably won't be as bad as some are suggesting but it probably will be significant. But yeah, people are going nuts over this. I'm already ready for a storm. I always have supplies on hand in the winter.

I get a little binding in tight turns with my 242 and automatic in my 01 XJ. The differential in the case has some torque bias so it's not completely open.

It also doesn't hurt to go back once a year and readjust things. Sometimes they work their way out of tune and you need to go back and adjust them. Also, I have something like this from back when I ran carburetors. It's great at getting to the idle screws. https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W1187-Carburetor-Adjuster/dp/B0002KNZL4

I really don't see that things are changing. People have always been cheap and never have any idea on how hard real work is. I mean, it's a valid complaint. People want to pay nothing and get everything and they are stunned when they can't get it. But I don't see any difference over the last many decades.

The Ford 351 and Dodge 360 were similar in reliability from the same era. The TH350/C4/TF904 are pretty close in reliability, as are the TH400/C6/TF727. They all used Dana 44's though the Chevy 10 bolt is basically just a GM version that's very close (it even uses Dana 44 outers). Kind of six of one, half dozen of another there.

Most likely a CJ5. That shape door was CJ2 through CJ6. The CJ6 is a stretched CJ5 where the back end is longer and that's obviously not a 6. It looks like the fenders are from a CJ5 so that's what I'd bank on. The CJ7 and CJ8 had a "square" bottom to the door (with rounded corners). The rear axle was about a foot further back and they didn't need to have the door go up and around the wheel well.
