    I don't understand some people

    Tonight on my way home from work there was a couple on the freeway offramp with a broken down 2000 TJ. The rear driveline had disconnected itself from the rear axle and I tried to convince them that I could slip the driveline off (sealed rear tcase output so no leaks) and they could drive it...

    TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

    We never bought video games, computers, or cell phones for our kids, they had to wait till they got married. They also went on many hikes, backpack trips, and mountain bike rides so no fat kids either. While growing up they would complain that their friends had all of those things, but now I...

    TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

    My old Schwinn's chain would fall off going down steep hills so I took off the front fender and used my shoe on the wheel to stop in emergencies. One time I was racing my friends down the steepest part of 45th south when the chain fell off. I was headed for a busy intersection so I turned into...

    St. Patrick's Day on the Snakes

    We went out to Rattlesnake Saturday and there was a huge crowd there. Some guy in a Suzuki wanted to beat us to the trail so he went off the trail and passed us on the right side like we were standing still. We pulled over for his two buddies. Another guy in a ford truck also pulled in front of...

    XJ Dana 44 swap into a ZJ

    We picked up a 96 ZJ the other day and I was curious as to how hard it would be to modify a Dana 44 from an XJ to work on the ZJ ? I have a D44 laying in the garage that I was going to put in my XJ but since I am parting it out I would like to upgrade the ZJ unless it is too big of a pain. I...

    Weird D60 front axle vibration

    My one ton is not lifted but has a heavy big block in it. I do get a bit of wheel shake up front especially when cornering on the freeway at higher speeds. The "rumble strip vibration" is something I've never had before and it seems wierd that a bump starts it and then another bump ends it.

    Weird D60 front axle vibration

    My wife has been complaining about a wierd vibration in the front of my 85 K30 and driving home from the Rocklogic sale Saturday I felt it too. When you go over a bump it will start a vibration and noise that sounds like you are driving on the rumble strips on the side of the road. When you hit...

    Extreme Scrambler Makeover

    I remember your Scrambler from the summer trail ride in Richfield and feeling sorry for it. Mine was the blue Scrambler parked a bit north of where you were when we had dinner at the fairgrounds.

    87 MJ oil in the air filter problem (blow by)

    I ended up doing the pcv valve swap (for an 6 cyl. 85 cj) and so far it has worked very well. I also found some broken plastic vacuum lines and fixed those too. It runs better now and isn't coating everything with oil.

    The jack mounting plate is for the stock jack that mounted on the front fender inner wheel well. The bumper was a rear bumper, 2x4 inch tube tapered on the ends. What you are doing looks great.

    LED Turn Signal timing

    Add a dummy resistor (or light) as a load to make it draw the same current that it would draw with a normal light.
