    Jury Duty

    I have been called in for jury duty for medical malpractice, burglary, drunken driving, and business sale. I missed the jury selection for the Arthur Gary Bishop murder trial by one day. I would have never been selected for that one because I couldn't have raised my hand for the question "could...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    We had a dryer that quit getting warm because the heating element broke. When I opened the machine up there was a layer of fine lint on the bottom of the machine that had caught fire when the hot metal from the element dropped on it. Luckily it didn't catch the whole machine on fire.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I am getting tired of appliances breaking..... Over the last year or so I've had to replace the dishwasher, the disposal, the water heater, the microwave and now the washing machine is dead. It is not that old and has one of the fancy electronic control boards in it that looks like it has given...

    Coronavirus

    My daughter just lost a friend yesterday to Covid. She tried to get him to get the vaccine but he claimed he was healthy and didn't need to worry. Unfortunately she went to his place to console his daughter and now she has to quarantine and stay away from my wife who just wrapped up chemo this...

    Shake down run

    I took my Scrambler up into Murdock Basin for a shakedown run and to put more miles on the LS break in. They must have had a lot of rain in the last few days as there were very many large pools along the way. I had forgotten how much that road shakes you up but the Jeep performed great. As I...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    My rancher friend told me they had a ranch truck that needed some steering work. We pretty much had to replace every joint in the truck. You have to love the farm fix to get it home.

    I saw that one at HF, just had doubts about spending that much for four crimps.

    Battery cable crimpers

    I need to make up some short cables for a winch I am fixing. I have cables (4 gauge) but don't have a way to crimp the big lugs on the ends. I have seen different types of crimpers, ones that you hit with a hammer and the more standard crimpers. Many of the standard crimper reviews are not...

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    Not sure trucks had these. Maybe Britney could use them. https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/64742896

    Backpack shoulder straps

    I ran around to several places that should have had straps but nothing was even close on mounting points and strap width. One of the REI sales folks told me about a gear repair shop down the street from them so I took the strap there and they are going to fix it for me. We'll see how they do.

    Backpack shoulder straps

    I took a youth group backpacking in the Uintas a week ago and my old Jansport backpack showed its age when one of the shoulder strap mounts broke off due to brittle plastic. Jansport has a lifetime guarantee but in order to get them to check it out I have to ship the pack to them. The warranty...

    Greg, On my LS swapped CJ I left the 8274 and have no cooling issues. It should fit the TJ just fine.

    Jeep Just another boring TJ build

    I put a full 4 link front and an LS into my Scrambler and it was fun getting the exhaust in. With the added width of the TJ frame it would be a lot easier than my old CJ. I frenched the upper link mounts into the frame and used aftermarket narrow frame rear dump headers to get enough clearance...
