    Did something different with the Jeeps

    Yesterday we got a chance to take our old rancher friends son up to the highest peak on their ranch and bury his dad's ashes. The road wasn't too difficult with the Jeeps but very steep and overgrown. For the last 20 years he had told his son he wanted to be buried on the top of his favorite...

    WranglerTj97 4500 RPM cut. I need all knowledge.

    I believe on a TJ the regulator is part of the sending unit in the tank. If you had a fuel pressure gauge you could mount it to the rail and watch the pressure as you rev it. When you rev it under a load it requires more fuel.

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    The first engine swap I did made my 86 XJ pass tailpipe test emissions without any problem. The next swap I did made the tailpipe test read 0 on almost every test. The testers spent an hour re-testing it because they couldn't believe a Jeep could run that clean. I didn't explain to them that...

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    I haven't been brave enough to add up the cost of my LS swap. The small stuff does add up very quickly but not as fast as the big stuff. It also doesn't help that I had everything rebuilt, swapped the front axle and put an Atlas in at the same time.

    I have a B&M shifter handle that looks very similar, maybe I need to make one for me.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    We went up and helped our rancher friends dock their last group of sheep. After that they had me go up on the mountain and try to retrieve their C70 Kodiak water truck that someone took for a joy ride. Whoever took it locked it up and took the keys. I managed to get the ignition switch out and...

    Work to live or live to work?

    Yes some of us do like our jobs. I've been at mine for almost 43 years without changing where I go to work. The company name has changed three times in the last 14 years through company buyouts. I work with very smart folks that I get along with very well and we design really cool stuff. I made...

    Summer crawling trails in Utah

    Not all that difficult but up high and cool with fishing at the end: Murdock Basin, Norway Flats. Fun early on when the snow drifts aren't quite gone.

    A dove took up nesting just outside our kitchen window. She blends in very well with the rocks.

    portapotty shelter recommendations?

    We use a portable hunting blind which has no poles. It is tall enough to stand up in and has worked well for us when we are camping. The wind will push it around a bit but it always pops back up.

    Official Warn Industries Releases New M8274 & M8274-S 10,000 lb. Capacity Winches

    I need to order a couple of parts then it will be ready. It appears to have a recently re-man motor and I have cleaned it up, re-oiled it and fixed the bad relay that it had. It has a few scars from being well used but everything looked good inside. Even have a new cable for it.

    Official Warn Industries Releases New M8274 & M8274-S 10,000 lb. Capacity Winches

    I even have the solenoids needed to fix it, but I already have more winches than I need.

    Official Warn Industries Releases New M8274 & M8274-S 10,000 lb. Capacity Winches

    No that would allow you to hoist it straight up so you could work on the drivetrain standing up. I do have an extra 8274 that would be a bit more appropriate.

    Official Warn Industries Releases New M8274 & M8274-S 10,000 lb. Capacity Winches

    I wonder if some of the new parts would fit on an older one. I would love to get rid of the relays on mine.

    @Greg Always curious about what he has bought and then sold @DAA great pictures and cool adventures @I Lean because I'm amazed at what he does with metal and still keeps his garage so clean. My garage is always a disaster but its at least a creative disaster. @mbryson I'm hoping that if I get...
