    To Drawers or not to Drawers

    No Drawers allows me the most versatility for day to day use. A low platform with storage underneath for sleeping would be nice on trips so you wouldn't have to unload everything to sleep inside.

    Advice on Pre 1976 Expo rigs...

    The Chevy and GM trucks, blazers and suburbans have many parts that are interchangeable and are more common than the Full size Jeeps. I keep thinking about going retro to avoid all the smog hassles.

    The good old days of tires 7.50 -16

    We didn't air down in those days much either. Ahh the joys of a 7.50 x 16 8 ply nylon tire on a wash board road or in sand and rocks. Not much improvement even if they were aired down. Radials make such a difference in ride and traction.

    What a trip! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any more pictures? I have been to Malarimo Beach once. At that time the road was hard to find. Here is a picture from a Baja trip in 1972.

    Diesel for the new Ford Transit Van in the US

    :( Why no 4x4 for the US?? European customers will be able to choose between front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive versions of the Transit, powered by Ford's 2.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel inline-four. In the United States, however, only rear-wheel drive will be offered

    1985 FJ60--Accelerator problems under hood--help!

    Is it a ball and socket that comes apart, a cable or a pivot point? Then replace if it is worn. I wouldn't crimp it as it might gets stuck. I had to use bailing wire on an old Jeep's throttle to get home when that happened in the desert.

    Whole Vehicle Mosquito Net

    I guess you could make one Ive seen magnetic screens for the side windows. You can still roll up the windows and it makes getting in and out easy. You could make a roll up screen for the back hatch

    Cherokee ECM problems.

    It sounds like you know what you are doing. Have you checked these? Oxygen sensor on exhaust manifold? Gas Cap? Catalytic Converter? If it runs fine put tape over the light? LOL
