    ARB Dimensions

    I've got an ARB bull bar on my TJ. It's presently in the shop costing me lots of money, but if you haven't gotten the info you need by (hopefully) Monday when I get it back, I'll be able to help you with at least the info for what I have if you need it.

    TJ clutch question

    Thanks, Brian. We'll see about getting everything bled and see how that works. If I can get all this done without spending a ton more money, I'll be out that way in about a month!

    TJ clutch question

    Yes - I have no weird noises when the clutch is out. Only sometimes screeching when the clutch is in. I've got about 97,000 miles on it. Since I had this hydraulic assembly installed, it is working much, much better than it was. It was barely drivable prior to having this stuff done. Right...

    TJ clutch question

    The part does come pre-assembled, but I guess you might take it apart to install. Hardly seems like an efficient way to do things, but what do I know? This morning it worked OK some of the time and didn't work so well at others. Is it possible that the hydraulic system on this new part isn't...

    TJ clutch question

    Thanks. On the TJs the part comes as a single sealed unit with master and slave cylinder, and thankfully is external so to replace it you don't have to pull the drivetrain apart. Costs alot less. Appreciate the input, and what you said is pretty much what I've been thinking (and hoping). I'll...

    TJ clutch question

    Good day. I have an '04 Rubicon. My clutch quit working a few days ago. No slippage - it just wouldn't let me shift into gear out of neutral while idling and it was grabbing while upshifting and driving. I also had screeching sounds when the clutch was depressed while in gear and stopped. My...

    The Sausage Thread - Favorite Type, Favorite Vendor

    A couple years or so ago, my brother and I finally talked our grandpa into taking us step by step through the Bachman family sausage making process. We grew up eating this stuff from time to time and it is really the absolute best German style sausage I have ever eaten - anytime, anywhere...

    Any other Vegans?

    I'm a mostly vegetarian - probably 90%. I do this for health and philosophical reasons. I'm onboard with the evidence that moderate amounts of animal protein are healthy and beneficial. The benefits of eating fish (other than toxic metal poisoning, etc) are also well established. I don't...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    New rear bumper I had a guy I found on Jeep Forum named Cliff Tadlock in Louisiana build me a rear bumper. My little brother helped me put it on Saturday. Still need to finish it up - drill a few holes for gerry can holders, hi-lift mount, and put in the lugs for my spare tire. So far I...

    Texas Hill Country Trip

    If I'm around, I'll certainly want to hook up with y'all again. I've just about got the Heep semi-Expo worthy (referring to my official checklist...). :) Still have a couple things to do, but if the weather cooperates I should have my radios (2m and CB) installed in an overhead console within...

    Wrangler MT/R 245/75/16s

    I am about 98% sure these are E rated. And as stated above, I am open to trying to ship these things.

    Wrangler MT/R 245/75/16s

    If you've got a good suggestion for shipping, I'm open to the idea. I need to get rid of these things.

    Wrangler MT/R 245/75/16s

    Yes, I still have the tires. They are no longer on my patio and are now in my apartment due to fears of nasty-grams from the leasing office. My replacement tires are Fierce Attitudes. I did not make up that name. So far they have been OK - and for the price - about $200 per tire, I figured...

    November Weight Loss Challenge

    Failed is such a big word, Lynn. Let's just call it a temporary setback or something. (I have been told by my senior level managers to present things in a more positive light - is it working? :) ) Happy New Year. We still need to get a coffee one of these days. There's a wonderful place...

    Tonight's Dinner Will Consist Of........

    Darin's Drunken Dessert Some time ago I invented Darin's Drunken Dessert. It varies depending on what's in the liquor cabinet. I made it over the weekend. I shared some with my neighbor who gave me the previously mentioned venison and I've brought most of the rest of it to work with me today...

    Wrangler MT/R 245/75/16s

    Got to get these tires off my patio. Make an offer, intriguing trades, etc. Tires under the Christmas tree? What a great and thoughtful gift. They're almost like jewelry, except for the whole shiny and glittery part. They also are very similar to donuts! They make a great swing for the kids...
