    Poison Oak?!?!?

    We're not going to be getting any new animals any time soon so goats are probably out of the question. That cross bow stuff sounds like it would work good, but I'm still trying to convince dad that it's time to start fighting back.... We are definitely not going to burn it! I understand that it will take time to kill it off, but the sooner we start the sooner it will be gone. Thanks Chad
  3. Seriously? They did all that work and didn't even put a real bed on it.... Wtf?
  4. I don't have an answer for you but I believe there are a few threads from people who have already done this.

    Poison Oak?!?!?

    So, we have about 2 acres. The first half has our house and our fenced yard on it, there is no poison oak in side the fence. But out side the fence is the opposite. There is poison oak EVERY WERE. It hasn't been that bad this year until it started raining a few weeks ago, now it's starting to grow back like crazy. This is where we cut our fire wood and i'm getting pretty tired of itching for a week after cutting wood for a half hour. The property also has Eukalyptus trees on it, like alot of them! They vary from little twigs to 7 foot diameter 200 foot plus trees. We ( lately it's just been me) have been clearing and cutting as much as we can when we get a chance, but it takes time. The neighbor across the way has around 7 acres and rides a trials bike around down there and doesn't really care what we do. The other neighbor died and the property is just sitting there, he never even went down there anyways. The neighbor on the other side said to do what ever we want. There is a small creek on the neighbors property, and a spot on our property that has standing water year round. How would you go about killing the Poison Oak? I'm thinking that spraying with Round up or Ortho is the best option. Let me know what you have found that works or doesn't work. Thanks Chad Sorry for the Lonnngggg post....
  7. I completely eliminated the heater valve things. Haven't noticed any side effects at all. Just run the hoses straight to the nipples sticking out of the fire wall. :wrench:
  8. I had to use a big screw driver for leverage when I shifted mine by hand. Maybe you aren't pushing hard enough?
  9. This is from the Trabing fire in Watsonville CA, June 2008. Though you guys might enjoy it... I didn't take this picture btw.
  10. IMHO I think the american ones look WAY better...

    What To Do?

    My county has an online system like this that we used in my auto CAD class at school. It had tons of information but I don't remember it having any sort of contact information.
  12. The poll feature isn't working.... I like the dark forest green.
  13. I kind of like this one. I don't have it so I can't say much about it but it looks pretty good IMHO. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1071333
  14. Wouldn't the rear flares be the same as an xj also?
  15. Some people.... :shake:
  16. The MJ seems to be running pretty good. No issues what so ever. Pismo is really fun. It's about 3.5 hours from were I live, not too bad but still too far for my liking. lol. Thanks Chad
  17. I think that is the picture he was talking about. By doing that, you let the power steering do all the work.
  18. I cleaned up the distributor like told above and the squeaking went away. When I first took it out I was barely able to spin it by hand, is was super stiff. I cleaned off the old stuff and put a little grease on the shaft. It seems to be idling pretty good now. Just gotta wait and see how it does in the morning. The picture in my avatar is actually Pismo Beach. I wish you could drive on the beaches in Aptos, but that will never happen. :no: Thanks for all the help Chad
  19. The manifold bolts were good. But my distributor is squeaking, does that mean its time to replace it?
  20. The resistance was .5 ohms. When I wiggled the harness it went down to .4 a couple times. The ground cable on the battery was kinda loose so i tightened that. I'll try checking the manifold bolts too. Ya it still has the c101 connector but ive cleaned it super good like three times. Thanks Chad Which beach are you referring to?
  21. Mine is a manual and only has the flat three wire plug. I will try checking the resistance in the ground wiring right now. Thanks Chad
  22. The key was in the ON position with the motor not running. I tested the input voltage and output voltage of the TPS. They were with in specs according to the FSM. I cleaned the IAC, the hole the IAC goes into, and had the rubber tube off the throttle body and the butterfly looked fine. All over the weekend. I don't understand how it will happen every time until I try to fix it and all of the sudden it's normal again. Could the CPS some how be causing this? Occasionally I have to mess with the wires to get it to start, not verry often though. When I swapped in the NV3550 I had to fix the CPS because one of wires was loose or something, can't remember exactly. :wrench: Thanks Chad
  23. Every once in a while when I would start the mj to go to school the engine would rev up to around 2000 rpm. It would always go down after a second or two. It's been doing it more and more offer. Today I started it and it reved up to 3500 rpm and wouldn't go down until I unplugged the TPS while it was running. On the way to school it idled at about 1000, it normaly idles at 500. When I started it up to go home it went right up to 3500 rpm and stayed there. By the time I got home it was at 4000rpm. I Shut it down while I opened up the shop and stuff. This time it wouldn't start. I messed with it CPS (not TPS) wires and it fired right up. But still idled at around 3500 rpm. I unplugged the TPS and the idle dropped to normal, I repeated this a few times. I let it sit for a few minutes while I dug out the instructing for testing and adjusting the TPS. I tested the TPS with the ignition off and it was right on, I started it up and now it's running fine. I shut it down and started it a bunch of times and it's idling fine every time now. Anybody got any ideas? I want to get this resolved today because I know it's going to do it again in the morning. Yes I have cleaned the IAC. :wrench: Thanks Chad
