    1980 Jeep CJ5; Back to the beginning

    That site lists mostly CJ axles...is the Scout axle going to work the same? I feel like I need to find a conversion kit for a scout axle. Sorry, I'll move this to my thread to keep from taking this one over with my noviceness.

    I'm curious what you did for the rear discs. I think that's my next project.

    1980 Jeep CJ5; Back to the beginning

    I don't know everything about them, but they have no caster and the passenger side has the ubolt mounting points cast into the housing, which was a pita. If even consider an 8.8 rear.. Plenty strong plus disc brakes.

    1980 Jeep CJ5; Back to the beginning

    Team cj! Don't do scout axles. Find waggy axles or maybe some Rubicon takeoffs. I've had quite the battle with my scout 44s. And by "I" of course I mean @bryson

    Political So now what

    This tracks. Doesn't impact the rich because they just buy with cash. I also think this is stupid. I'd be surprised if it lasted. Also, did fox news report on the money they owe for the defamation suit they had to settle for almost 800 million? I'm curious what their spin on that is. Do you...

    What to do with cash right now?

    Yes, but the misplaced outrage is the same. It's a whole lot of "who cares". They could put the Pope on it, or a baseball team, or some rancher with a rifle on his horse and I couldn't care less as long as it's done in a non-hateful way. The can doesn't hurt anyone. People's hateful response to...

    Yes, the anti cancel culture kids are trying to cancel them.

    What to do with cash right now?

    It depends on how fast the fan is spinning. I tend to think that if the fan was on full blast, then your few boxes of ammo are just going to be taken by the guys with the armory full of it...along with your chicken and silver coin. A more oppressive system of the haves vs the have nots would be...

    What to do with cash right now?

    I'll keep it safe for you. I think it all comes down to your goals and your risk tolerance. My mom is the most risk averse person alive. She wouldn't invest a dime if someone handed her a quarter 10 seconds later. I FINALLY convinced her to move her savings from non interest bearing savings...

    Record Snow pack, floods next?

    I do think more of that is done than we all are aware of, but I'd probably wager the problem is more complex than filling up a few mines and lakes and giving out a round of high-fives. The state does employ engineers and scientists to figure out water storage and other hydrological issues. I...

    Proud father moments

    Did I ever show you guys these? This is my dad, my older brother (6), and myself in spring of 81 (I was like 6 months). And myself, and my kids at 6 years and 6 months in fall of 18. Same place. My dad died in 2008 and my mom has been pretty sad ever since, so I took this and framed them...

    Political So now what

    I have 30 employees between my two businesses. 7 full time, 23 part time. I was 17th last year in pay. I'm going to pay for my truck that I drive to work in through my business along with it's fuel and it's insurance... And I'll also use it use for personal things. Sorry if I'm being unfair ha...

    Political So now what

    I'm not crying foul at all about using the rules in the system to get ahead. I'd absolutely argue the opposite and I personally and unapologetically use every last drop of leverage I can squeeze out of the tax code in my situation. But he absolutely has used his political influence before and...

    Political So now what

    I think it's totally politically motivated....but in Trump's favor. He's against the system, but it's the system that enables him and people like him (politicians and rich businesses/business folk) to slide through things like this and come out the other side more powerful. I'm not saying it's...

    Political So now what

    I've sworn to not get into political discussions/debates online anymore, but am I the only one who feels the Trump trial is a fully staged marketing stunt? Nothing is going to happen to him more than a slap on the wrist. People have sent a supposed billionaire money to help his defense, and all...

    Record Snow pack, floods next?

    It's going to be low 70's for a couple days, but then drops into the 50s and 60s for like 10. I think that's about as good as we can hope for at this point.

    Trigger warning…. I guess.

    I'm the one that didn't want to get into a political discussion about it...and all I said was I chuckled about it but you were hellbent on dragging people into the discussion you were fishing for with the "free state of Florida" comment ha ha. I just didn't want to muck up Kurt's camping group...

    How to build a Taco?

    My taco on 2.5-3" lift and 285/70 17's (metric 33) could go a LOT of places, and never felt big or top heavy. Slow? Yes, but very capable and pretty nimble. I liked my ome setup for it's durability/versatility, but I pack pretty light and without some weight in back the ride was pretty rough...

    Free Apple wood... Worth the effort?

    I cut this smaller tree down. Not sure if the wood is worth anything to charcoal smokers or for any others reason. Free... If nobody wants it I'll save it for firewood in future years and put the small trimmings out as yard waste. Xoxo

    Lighten the mood

    I prefer to believe a bunch of teenage punks were talking about mixing a 40 in a cup with orange juice.... But a little googling seems to give a different story. Some shitty pre mixed cocktail on the east coast that was eventually acquired by guiness and the combined entity later became the...
