  1. There is a spring on the very top of the pedal mechanism that keeps the ratchet paw engaged. Check that it hasnt come unhooked. I had that problem on mine.
  2. Thats a good one. I still have my gradpas Benjamin. Its death to any small game.
  3. Is it just a roll pin that can be driven out after the unblinding of the hole?
  4. I figured something custom would be necessary. Wouldnt have guessed the originals were available. Maroon and silver would look good on the car. And still pay some homeage to its roots.
  5. Id pass on the SD. The shield is a better carry gun, after all thats what it was designed for.
  6. A little lean is surprising. I ran a flowmaster with no cat for a good bit of those miles and I thought it always seemed a little rich.
  7. I say, good form old chap. Good form.
  8. Need to remove the handle to install new bezel. It appears to be a roll pin into a blind hole in the plastic handle. Any ideas how to remove without destroying it?
  9. I will be interested in one at some point in the future.
  10. Full tune up. Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.
  11. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor today. Truck has 174,655 mi. on it. Last tune up was aroung 155,000ish. It was due. Old cap looks pretty bad and rotor the same. I think the plugs looked decent. I replaced the ac delcos with ngk plugs.
  12. Changed my plugs today. Anything stand out to anyone? If memory serves these have about 20,000mi on them.
  13. Double amd tripple check it is adjusted correctly. If not it can stay on with the glovebox closed.
  14. Hey man I think you got a little brown stuff on your nose. Honestly a great idea. I will be adding to the "to do" list.
  15. Very carefully most of the time.
  16. Sweet, I installed a usb port in place of my on dash power port in the WJ. I found with the power port the first thing I did was plug in a usb adapter. So I moved the power port to the factory knock out in the hatch. Still have the 12V option if i need it for something but the fast charge usbs are the berries.....
  17. Yes sir it is. Make sure you clean the electrical connection when you install the new one. Corrosion can cause issues with the gauge.
  18. I agree with all of this. With the addition that drop brackets arent the only option. The same objective can be achieved with proper control arms. Shocks are important!
  19. That statement confuses me. How does a 3/4" difference translate to a 2" difference in rake? When I set up my control arms I started with the location of the tire in the wheel well. After that i set my pinion angle. Then I made adjustments to the trackbar to center the axle under the body.
  20. So whats the verdict when you measure the right way? Definitely make the lift up in the springs not the shackles. You'll thank yourself.
  21. Maybe he should just sell me the truck. I can put some cardboard down under it.
  22. Tower of power? https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.boot24.com%2Fhs%2Fobl%2F469%2F469808%2Fmotor-aussenborder-mercury-469808-115ps-2-takt-oldtimer-tow-4-4-141839.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boats24.com%2Fengine%2Foutboard%2Fmercury%2F469808%2F115ps-2-takt-oldtimer-tower-of-power-6-zylinder.html&docid=yj_Y4Nq3Rj6PVM&tbnid=9_Xeilyo8oyGWM&vet=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim
  23. Was working 3 miles from home today..... Sorry for the crappy pics. They didnt wait for me to get the camera out. Lmao
  24. No I was refering to your truck. I think its a gem of a survivor. Just wish I was old enough to have bought one brand new. Unfortunately when they stopped sales my 14yr old self wasnt into cars yet.
