:( Sorry to hear. Hope your pup pulls through

Wow, I never met Joe, but I cannot think of a better tribute to someone that loved the Jeep like he did after reading his build. RIP

Thanks Jim, That was an extremely fun project, my goal was when I scored some NOS Eliminator stickers to make sure that someone somewhere still made these things. In addition to Spence there are other manufacturers of these stickers now. :cheers:

How do I spell choke Don? San Francisco Giants :ack:

I have found a number of plugs in the firewall to be the culprit of excessive wind noise. I replaced all the seals including the expensive ones around the vent window without solving the noise issue, by just chance I was installing a light harness, and an electronic mirror, and when I was under the dash I could see daylight from two plugs. One under the clutch master, and the other near the steering rod. :grrrr:

X2 on what Don said, I wound up spending hundreds of dollars on new chromoly axles and seals to make my used MJ D44 reliable. Please consider a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes as considering I spent over $400 on my MJ D44, with a 3.73 gear ratio, I have seen Ford 8.8 axles go for under $200 ready to install with some welding and many with no issues.HTH Dog

RIP :cry: X2 on a memorial thread even if it is just our MJ's build pages and updates about their life after we have gone home.

1 and 3 for me. :cheers:

Someone is going to appreciate the HO fuel sender assembly!

Yeah Joe, I agree with Limey above. Grant steering wheels used to be of good quality, but have deteriorated to just more offshore junk now. I prefer to keep the stock Jeep leather 3-spoke steering wheel look, gray in your case would be best, be it an OEM Jeep wheel or like the NOS Buick wheel I just put on mine. MJs just don't look right with aftermarket faux wood grain wheels IMHO. If you can't find find one you like, I'd get your existing wheel refurbished in gray leather. Would look great on your truck. :cheers: Thanks Don, You are right it is not worth spending money on junk, I am leaning on having mine refurbished. :yes:

Thanks Mike, They all look good! Even with the chrome (Don would love these!). Joe

Mike, I found one that would match but at $275.... :ack: http://www.carid.com/1991-jeep-cherokee ... 93060.html

My interior does have the Faux cherry wood from a 1996 cherokee country. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=30517

Hello Folks, After four years of tar like goo ruining my shirts and pants, my wife has demanded that I get a new steering wheel. My poor old steering wheel emits a tar like goo when it is a hot day, and has ruined anything that it touches. I am looking at some grant cherrywood replacement steering wheels,but I would love to hear from my Comanche colleagues for suggesgions. I was leaning towards the below...what do folks think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/14-JEEP- ... 2eb59b464f Thanks! Dog

I can relate, in 2004 I had AOL Broadband (which was contracted through SBC/ATT) Because of a contract dispute between AOL and ATT I was without internet for over a month, and back then ther were no dataplans, smart phones or tablets. :ack:

We all want that Joe. Made in the USA and all that. In order for US companies to make that decent profit, costs must be cut, because the ferocious overseas competition is killing US companies one by one. It will not stop, it will only get worse. I have no answer or cure. Hoping things get better won't get it done. We, the USA, the unions and management, must adapt or die. Keeping our families enjoying the same same benefits as past generations ain't happening any more. AAARG. I'm glad I'm retired and okay (for the moment) and not just starting out as my kids are and all our kids are. It's a different world out there now and time to get get everyone's heads out of the sand. And there in lies the rub, competing with third world labor and living conditions would require us to pay third world compensation to reduce costs here. Aspiring to third world conditions isn't adaptin, it is declining.

:cheers: Politically I'm somewhere between far right, and center right, depending on the subject, but I don't have the hatred of private unions that many to the right do. When two companies come to an agreement (to sell/buy/share information with each other/whatever), what do they do? They sign a contract. I have no problem with workers for that company doing the same. All the job protection stuff is tough for me to swallow, but Verizon has been eliminating that stuff a little bit at a time over the last few contracts. That's their right, that stuff was negotiated in over 50 years (before Verizon bought in, and inherited the union), it's their right to negotiate it out again if they choose. Their tactic was to 'ask' for everything back all at once, which is also their prerogative, but it's almost certain to result in a strike (don't think for a second that Verizon didn't know that). I only chime in to debate that the work stopage is ENTIRELY the fault of 'greedy' unions. To most that know me here I am very far to the right, but I also love my family and remember the Christmas Eve family get togethers the best healthcare I could get for my loved ones, camping with my Father, and Uncle and cousins on weekends, and enough extra pay to get my family to buy oreos, ding dongs. or hostess cupcakes when times were good. I get it that companies must make a decent profit to stay in business, I also get that to keep our families enjoying the same sort of things that I and past generations enjoyed costs money too. God Bless to all hard working American's, I hope I can see my offspring enjoy all that America had to offer me. :USAflag:

how do u able to tethering through your iphone???? I'm been try to do that? jailbreak? I can "tether" or create a personal hotspot on my iphone 4 for my IPAD. I am not "jailbroken" as this feature was added thanks to all the good folks that got their iphone 3G's jailbroken for just such a feature. All you hackers keep it up! Apple is listening to you. As for the Verizon unions I must say there is nothing on the list of proposed concessions that I would want want my wife and children to do without. I guess what I am saying is I can understand folks wanting to pay less, but I can also understand a provider for their family to want all of the perks they can get. So Peace to all of you and I hope despite all the possible divisiveness a topic like this can create, just know I really support working American's and the companies that employ them. I hope at a corporate and family level we are not asked to accept third world wages or profits. Thanks! Dog.

I did this... http://www.kelleyswip.com/electric.html

There is a reason they are called "dogs" a : canid; especially : a highly variable domestic mammal (Canis familiaris) closely related to the gray wolf b : a male dog; also : a male usually carnivorous mammal 2a : a worthless or contemptible person b : fellow, chap 3a : any of various usually simple mechanical devices for holding, gripping, or fastening that consist of a spike, bar, or hook I liked this English Definition "a worthless contemptible". I once had a delicious Mountain Mike Pizza delivered only to have it pillaged by our old Cocker Spaniel Bridgette. No guilt, no apologies, just the happy face, snoring, burps, and farts the rest of the evening. :jump:

Mr. Simon, That bed should have been an option! Great looking MJ! JDD

Don and Pete have some pics of theirs. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14686&hilit=hood+strut

I seem to remember Sergio mentioning that this would be everything the Commander wasn't, and offering more seating than the GC.

I made fun of the over glorified iPod touch too. But then I played with one in Best Buy and had to have it... :shake: I also bought it as a laptop replacement for college, mostly because I used the Internet only at school. 10+ hours of battery life is awesome along with Netflix :yes: I still don't really know why I sold it... :nuts: I am going to use the money to buy a Willy's Jeep this weekend, so I guess I lost one toy to get another! and if I don't get the Jeep well I am just going to get another iPad. as long as i have a toy I will be happy I love my IPAD and Iphone combo and I am an IT guy. I use Gotodocs and can edit any of my Microsoft Office Docs, I use a cloud sync program called sugarsync and my home computer, work computer, IPAD and Iphone all sync to the cloud, I have 20 gB worth of data I can access from anywhere. When I find myself needing the use of my laptop I use logmein to access my laptop at work or home. The best thing about a tablet is when you travel at the airport the security folks do not make you put it in its own tray or remove the cover. :yes: Logmein is the best app ever! I manage 6 computers with it. the new file transfer part is great as well. Both my iPhone and (was my) iPad where jailbroken with some awesome fratures like being able to print from any wireless printer and not just the hp or apple stuff. Ah to be young again, I did things I would never dream of now at 50, growing up in the Navy I scuba dove with sharks, beat them on the snout when they got too close, spearfished and took on morray eels, swatted away sea snakes, but to brave such things and jailbrake my stuff are no longer in my wish list. There are new apps coming out all the time to do many cool things, but in my old age I am now a chicken! I like keeping the option of going to the genius bar at the apple store and have them fix something I broke.I salute your youth and bravery :bowdown:
