Dumb question, are the Smittybilt deflators the same or similar as the Stauns? I just got a set of Smittybilts that are adjustable, and like them so far, just curious if the design was a copy or not. My first deflators here, so I am not "up" on them all. Im just glad to not have to use my...

Yeah, its just picking up the wireless from the house in the pics, but I will be getting an wireless internet card for it soon. Yeah. I officially have enough gadjets in this thing. I think im done. This is what happens when you are unemplyed and bored. ~James

Figured I would post up a little laptop mount I fabircated. I have been wanting to make or buy a mount for my laptop since I can now use it for navigation, but the prices on the pre-made stuff (RAM, Etc) is a bit much. Especially since I am currently unemployed. I have a small machine shop at my...

Weasel, I will see what I can do for pictures. Its just made out of 1/4" birch. I dont have any plans or anything, just kind of built it organically. This is all I have right now, but look in my next post, there should be a few more. I can take some of whatever you need though. ~James

Ive had mine for 3 years now. Works like a champ for me. I use it as a back up for my CO2 also. ~James

Best bang for the buck was my $2.99 dome mirrors. They stick to your regular side view mirrors, and once you get used to them, they are priceless while slowly navigating tight spaces. I now have them on all of my vehicles. ~James

The Diesel 2.8 CRD is already over in Europe in the Wrangler, has been for a while now. So what does this statement say? It will continue to be in Europe and not the states? Not sure... would have been easier just to say "no changes" My fingers are crossed, but the current 2.8L CRD isnt a...

My dad has owned a hotrod and fabrication shop since I was 4 years old, ive been using a grinder and welding since I was probably 8 years old. I dont want to sound like I am 'tooting' my horn here because im not trying to, but I am pretty darn handy with a cut-off wheel. Thats all I used is a...

Cool... I just cut my fenders in a similar manner and finished them out. looking forward to see how you tie it all in together. ~James

It was a magnaflow cat, if I remember correctly. I quit worrying about gas mileage when I started driving a 6.5" lifted, big tired, barn door. Cant help you on that one. Kinda like throwing a chair off the Titanic, not going to make much difference. ~James

I put a flowmaster 50 series on mine and it doesnt drone. It has a nice throaty sound, but not obnoxious like a 40 series. I also installed a high flow cat at the same time. My muffler was shot too, thats why I swapped. ~James

I need to figure something out as well, my driver seat is shot fabric is ripped and the inner frame broken. I sat in an XJ that had some mid 90's honda prelude seats and it was quite comfy. Might go that route, but will require a little fabrication. ~James

Yep, I found that one in Germany. some chick was throwing it out on the military base, and I snagged it. Its awesome once you get used to it! Lanechanger II or III I think? ~James

Ditto... whats up with that? ~James

Yeah, that XJ has seen begtter days. PM coming Bill. ~James

Ive told and written this so much, that I sometimes forget not everyone has heard my opinion. They dont balance. I have tried to balance them myself on a computer balancer when new, I was a mechanic for 8 years with more tire experience than I care to admit. I have had two other shops (one in...

Bill, sounds good to me. Like I said before... I hate mud. However, if it keeps raining like it did today, it may be unavoidable. We can firm things up towards the end of the week. Nic, thanks man. I have really enjoyed the kitchen, but it needs a new home inside my trailer. Tired of having to...
