I sold a futon on offerup a few weeks ago. Listed it for $80, willing to take $50. I was offered $100 to deliver it to a tarp shelter under I-25. Young couple, both with jobs, same idea as you, only sans a car to live in. Worst part is that it's not families buying all the homes, it's BANKS who...

Hopefully the AAA guy will have a code scanner in his truck. I betting on a sensor, like MAP, MAF or TPS. ECUs are pretty robust (especially by 2002) and usually it's an input that fails, and the input isn't identified until the ECU is already replaced. Sucks to be stuck on the side of the...

I completely agree with this. While I strap them to the roof, I have plans to build a hitch mount swing-away to put my spare and fuel on (the TH is also a DD, so I like it to look stock when not on an adventure). Mounting to a rear door sounds much more better! Before becoming a mechanical...

I'd just strap them on with a ratchet strap, but I'd put a tile of rubber flooring under them so they don't wear against the metal bars of the basket. I agree that rotopax is a little proud for what it is. I don't even like taking my metal cans anymore for fear of theft. I just use the plastic...

Haha! Single issue thinking is how the world got where it is.:ylsmoke: I thought much the same thing until the XJ cut it's teeth back in the 80s. Rock crawling I might be convinced, but for adventuring over vast distances, I'll take a unibody and independent suspension over body-bushings and...

Ok, I get it. Get a WJ. They are cheap to buy, cheap to fix, cheap to modify, parts are everywhere, and you'll learn the chops of wrenching without too tough of a learning curve, more like a modern vehicle than 'old iron', but still as cheap as old iron. More capable off-road than they get...

This is the year that we'll be stepping up our tent game! If you don't want to read my word soup you don't have to, I'm mainly just begging for pics of springbars set up in the field! For starters, a RTT doesn't work for us. We've got big dogs and a small child, and since camping without beer is...

You're not alone. My dad was a Harley guy the whole time I was growing up. After a number of bikes I found myself to be a goldwinger. One day commuting to work in Everett, WA I almost got hit. I was on Evergreen Way, which is a big fat 5 lane main thoroughfare. I was with traffic with green...

Double ditto! My J-10 is TBI'd, I've touched every single nut and bolt, I've driven it between Seattle and Denver multiple times, but NEVER without some terrifying issue along the way.:costumed-smiley-007 This is another good suggestion! I've had an 84 K5 Jimmy (my first 4x4) and two 88 V10...

Roktaxi, that's a slick little sales pitch! I hit your profile to see if you were a stealth spammer and was instead surprised to see you live in Grand Junction? I'm FROM Grand Junction! Technically I was raised in unincorporated Mesa County, but I was born at St. Mary's in 1979 and graduated...

Rattlecans of rustoleum. Some swear by POR or the like, but if you use it, you'll scratch it. Touching up with a rattlecan is quicker and easier than applying some special rust paint. If you search "full size jeep" you'll find two support groups right quick to learn more about them if you're...

Hi, I'm new but have something to offer. I'm a big fan of the SJ Jeeps (the fullsize Wagoneer/Cherokee/J-10/J-20. From 74 to 91, they had the AMC 360 V-8 which lasts forever with proper maintenance. It's downfall is the reduction of ZZDP in available oil which wears the engines faster (same with...
