  4. Maybe an episode of MYTH BUSTERS could be devoted to this worn out MaryAnn/Ginger type leak thing :yes: - - My 1987 MJ had the adj vents & same as DonH - no leaks, noise or any probs - It also had a sliding RW - - - Rear sliders are wonderful for infinitely adj airflow - - A salesman schooled me on their ventilation use during a test drive back in '86 - Once you find the sweet spot of window opening, one or both, and corresponding slider position you'll be hooked - - Seems as though Slider airflow use is becoming a lost art :smart:

  11. "Search" is a good tool Found this a little over a year ago in MJ Tech - - "SWAY BAR QUESTION" - - In it was this: From COMANCHE COUNTY Posted 20 June 2010 - 01:06 AM "Another option just for fyi are the rear sway bar links for a 95' F350, they are almost two inches longer, a little beefier, and have the correct bend. I used them on a 4" lifted XJ." Followed his advice & glad I did - - works well on my 3" lift - - eBay listing for next to nada at the time & then used Summit or Jegs price match for the actual purchase IIRC - - - Have recomended these to a couple others & no resulting death threats so far FWIW - - - Sway bar end link broke on my 87 MJ once uponna time & I didn't know it until the brakes needed to be stomped on at about 65-70mph & the nose dive the truck took was scary - - - - On road driving without a SB is a bad idea :wrench:

  21. good ol' ted. :D most of that is actually true. he didn't mention the Dems though. he referred to the french. Yep - - 6 years ago & almost immediately added to/sensationalized by the British tabloid press & then the French & then Italy/rest of world & on & on since then He was supposedly being interviewed by British journalist Robert Chalmers sometime in May 2006 The journalist asked, "What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it, `Are you my friend?` or is it `Are you the one who killed my brother?'" Nugent replied, "They aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French in that way." LOL - Still good for a chuckle -
