    Can you be more specific on the role that an individual will play as a volunteer? It may make a difference for folks interested in signing up to assist in Crowd Control, if they know what this job entails. EDIT: Just found this on the website. For those interested in volunteering...

    Jeep Willys ground-up build

    Progress report with photos, what more could a person ask for? Carl, ABS cement that you glue pipe with makes for some good auto repair goo. It flows nice too, so you can lay in a few thin coats and it harden like the real deal. I've repaired broken interior panel tabs with it, door moulding...

    ATTN St George locals-Wife's Honda is lame....

    Just heard from my wife, who fired up the car to head home from her trip to St George.... she says the ol Accord V-6 is stumbling- Autozone code check comes up with a faulty Crank Position Sensor. She already tried (wince) Sears Auto Center and they won't touch it, which is actually fine with...

    Lifting my XJ

    First suggestion: Take your Jeep out and wheel it with 2" and 30's. Try to hold back the shock when you realize that you can run 80% of the trails in Moab with your XJ, in that form. Learn how to drive your rig before you throw several thousand dollars at it. Then you can decide if you need...

    painting over powdercoating?

    Scuff it, wipe it down and then rattlecan with Rustoleum Gloss Black, remember........3-4 light coats will give you a much better finish than 2 heavy ones. Spray all the cracks and corners with a light coat first, let it tack before beginning your 2nd coat. This will minimize the potential for...

    Rubicon Wheels

    Over the last 4 years, I've bought and sold 6 sets....they seem to fetch what the market will bear. $75-100 each is not uncommon, but I once snagged a set of 5 with stock tires with 3/4 tread for $250, sold them for $750 2 days later. $300 for 4 in excellent condition is fair. BTW, I need...

    Just can't figure this one out. Vibration at speed.

    You will not likely measure 0 on the pinion flange, this angle is 1/2 of your formula, you are looking for the difference between the pinion and driveline angles, relative to 90*. Measure the pinion angle relative to 90 degrees on a flat surface....(not intimately familiar with toy diffs, but...

    Little Sahara-Feb 21st

    Some folks from the NAXJA Intermountain Chapter are headed down to play in the sand this Saturday. Weather looks good and the sand should be firm. Well hook up at the Sand Mtn parking area around 10am, then play on the backside in the big bowls. Prolly take some saucers so the kids can do some...

    Nut and Bolt Supply has a pretty good selection of debur and mill bits, I use a mill bit on my long neck air die grinder that works pretty slick to clean up holes....making Braden happy.

    91xj shock trouble....

    Checker has a replacement shock stud that you could drill a hole for and bolt on, or even weld them on if you like. Welding one on would be my first choice, but I own one. The key here is to make sure you space the shock eye out away from the bracket so the shock housing doesn't rub/bind...

    In regard to dimple dies...

    I feed mine into the Drill Doctor occasionally, but mine have held up well also. Definitely worth the money. Thanks for the tip on uni-bits Carl, I need to replace one of mine.
