  1. No more than 2. I still have the XJ and the Subaru to park as well.
  2. It's a bungalow which is big enough for me. And a 2 car garage out back. I'll probably put a gate in the fence so I can store one of the project Comanches there along with a trailer. This, of course, assumes the inspection and everything goes well.
  3. When you get the counter offer and sign it...
  4. So I found a decent little house near Cherry Hills in Englewood. Put an offer in. We'll see what happens.
  5. I already found a good one in Englewood. Going to try to make an offer on it tomorrow or Friday.
  6. So the first big hurdle has cleared. I've got my pre-approval lined up so I can start focusing on buying a house. My group just got word that we may move over to the Denver Tech Center, which is 20 miles or so from where I work now (south end of Wadsworth in Littleton) Since I may get moved back, I'm focusing my search between the two. My only requirements are no HOA, a secure place to park a trailer and at least a 2 car garage. The houses aren't cheap but there are a few options in Littleton and Englewood, but also one or two in Castle Rock. The next couple of weeks will be an adventure, that's for sure.
  7. I'm interested in buying a set for my SWB project truck in a couple of months. Whenever you think they are ready, hit me up and I'll buy a set.
  8. Yess!!!!!
  9. I'd say that ground is a little wet...

    Not the best photoshop job I've ever seen.
  11. The cooling deficiency due to airflow predates the VB1 recall. They've been talking about the cooling issues since the beginning as far as the diesel in the JL/JT goes.
  12. It's not a recall issue. It's an airflow issue. They even redesigned the JL nose to flow more air and it's still not enough to handle the heat of a turbo diesel.
  13. Saw one today. I was coming down Santa Fe into Castle Rock. It was lifted with some kind of cage in the back. It was a light color but I can't say exactly what. I was in my XJ at the time.

    Buying a house!

    Congrats on how smooth it's gone so far. Hopefully the rest goes without any more hiccups. I'm about to go talk to the lender to get pre-approved. Then the hunt starts in earnest.

    x2 on having your own website. It's really not that expensive and you are the one who controls the content.
  16. Better get some new brakes. With Pringles, "One you pop, you can't stop."

    Buying a house!

    I'll look there. But someone at work brought up a good point. We could be moved back to Waterton. So I'm going to try to split the difference between the two places. Basically north of Highlands Ranch is my target. But if something great pops up outside there I can be flexible.

    Can you send me your inspector's contact info? I'm going to need a good one. Oh, and congrats.
  19. You might be right. They have gone through several iterations over the years. Some use a tone ring in the diff, some use wheel sensors. But it's rare to see a sensor in the tcase any more.

    Buying a house!

    So... they just had a big all-hands meeting. The upshot is that it's likely my office will be moving to the south end of the DTC. That changes the equation just a little...
  21. I have Stinkyfab brackets for my project, both for the long arms and for the track bar. They are serious beef. I'm going to make my own links for my swap to wontons since I may push the axle forward while dealing with brackets not in the stock location.
  22. I think the WJ had the 42RE, which is different than the 42RLE. Regardless, pretty much all Chrysler transmissions in that time period were "less than stellar". I've known several people who had transmissions going out only hundreds of miles after the warranty expired at like 70K miles or so.

    Buying a house!

    When I got the letter with a picture showing that my grass was 1/4" longer than was allowed, I knew it was time to leave. I'm not going to pay people who have nothing better to do than to nitpick stupid rules. Sure, you run the risk of having "that neighbor" if you don't have your HOA to keep them in check but honestly I'd rather have those neighbors than live in Stepford hell. I work down at the south end of Wadsworth so I'm looking basically south of 285 and west of I-25. I've seen a number of houses go by that were decent candidates in nice neighborhoods. I'm going to start my serious search this weekend. We'll see what I can find.
