I'd say March 8th, but then again, my wife will be in Sac, CA then, so I won't have anything to do. And I should be a HAM operator by then too, so that would be extra fun.

Looks like the area up the hill from Planet Nissan/Subaru. Good pick on a vehcile. If you ever see a white XJ with "Fergy" on it, say hello to the old codger in it.

I ran the PORC SYE with the front DS in my 95 with 4.5" of lift and had no problems. Make sure you have that damn 12-point socket for the top t-case bolt, and dont forget the magnet.

I found a place to buy all new rubber for the o-rings and gaskets, as well as filler necks and screw-top lids. No need to give up on the gas cans just because they are a bit rusted.

For those that arent in the know, why is this book so great?

This ol girl is Samantha: Parents brought her home from the pound at 9 months old, the same day she was dropped off. She understoof commands in Spanish and English, so we are guessing her first family was spanish speaking. Had her for over 14 years. We had to put her down the November after...

I am loving this thread. Mainly due to the fact that I am severe case of red-green color blindness, so my take on things is slightly skewed compared to the rest of the world. For instance, the bird photo; It doesnt blend at all! The bird is in stark contrast to the rest of the cacti. Maybe...

Hey all, I like the Action Packers for their combination of ruggedness, cost, and size. However, they are not waterproof, and on trips can get lots of moisture and dust in them. I couldnt find any type of pre-made gasket that I could affix to the lid, so I used an old weather seal trick that I...

I agree as well. The 8.8 is a boat anchor. You will lose about an inch of clearance beneath the pumpkin. If you can find them, get a set of 3.73 axles from a TJ, if not those, then 3.55s from a TJ. If you need to go to deeper gearing, that is when you get in to new axles and regearing costs.

You'll be able to find a front in 3.73, maybe, but def not a Chryco 8.25", at least not a factory version, and from my old research, there arent 3.73s available. Also take into consideration that the rear axle would need TJ bracketry welded on, adding to cost and time. Your other option is a...

Well, what do you want to attain through re-gearing? Specifically. Top cruising speed, low end acceleration, slow crawling ability?

Another bit of info: The 4.0L is happy running at 2600-3200 RPMs all day long. If you can live with it, then the engine can.

How are you figuring your MPG? You can't estimate based on the gauges. You need to do miles traveled divided by gas consumed. So, for me, I did 348 miles on the tank, with 18 gallons at the fill up. I try to use the same station, same pump, with the same method of top offs each time, to keep...

1. Loose wheel: check your lugnuts 2. Axle u-joints: Visual inspection 3. Unit bearing hub assembly: Jack tire up, pull in and out on wheel, see if there is any play. 4. Ball Joints: Jack tire up, grab wheel at 12 and 6, and see if there is any play. Those are my guesses. HTH

Not sure which one you refer to, but the one I have still works just fine. I'll try and find a date on it.

LOL...I just returned the brand NIB one I had just bought. I figured I'd rather spend more money and build myself another custom one. They are decently constructed, and will fit most peoples needs just fine.

I found this one at a swap meet for $5. Needs a new handle, but still works just fine.

Adam, Good to know you made it back okay! Is a fairly stock JK looking good to you yet? Thanks for the help, the croissant sandwich, the help, the tea, and again, the help!

Well, just ordered mine to replace the Thule Ascent 1100 that I have.

Louis, Great pics, proof that the WJ was actually moving at one point! Also, I think I got a picture of you around somewhere....
