Ticket for jackstands? Were they speeding?

I need to find a RTI ramp

Looks good. What kit is that?

Why? Watching your spreadsheet thingy at M&G is when I figured out the trigonometry thing. Just measure up the side of that loading dock and adjust your numbers for 30*.

Rusty's 5" LA.

Maybe I just need a spotter and 4wd then. My left rear tire started spinning.
Plus all the loading ramps on base are left-handed like this. There's 1 more, but its right along the main street.

driveshaft issue?

Uh, alzheimers. It's been so long since I was in 4wd, you know.

Air bags and Heated seats installed in the Ram.



Edit: Pic of where I mounted the Heated Seat switch's on the truck.

XJ went for it's last drive for a while, except to a certain trail ride, today and it was a scarry one. It's gotten the best gas mileage sitting still

RAM, Front bumper crunched in, license plate holder broke, Pass side fog light inop, Plastic valance broke. Icy intersections suck!

Thanks Ole for stopping by to see if everything was OK.

Well, everything's still broke.

'99 Suburban works in 2wd

'75 Plow Truck has a knock and trans that isn't right - but does move

'91 Plow Blazer still needs a clutch, some somg equiptment work, and a plow frame bracket made

'77 Blazer and Skitzo now at least have plans in the works for their fixes.

However, I need to get a plow vehicle working properly before I can justify working on the toys.

highsteer done on the 85 !! now to rebuild the front diff and reassemble drive lines bleed brakes and im wheeling !

Check engine light off now that the wires aren't frayed, rear axle seals replaced in the Ram, now its time to firgure out what the clunk is in the back of the truck.

Front sway bar hooked up on the ZJ. I had to grind a little bit of TRE at the drag link, if that makes sense.

Still need to find double-seal silicone hose clamps so I stop leaking transmission fluid
Oh, and I need a muffler. Maybe I do.
The search for tires is getting stronger.
Things I want before i hit a serious trail:
winch
sliders
skid plates - transfer case & gas tank
build a storage shelf over the viair compressor & tank, and spare tire in the back.

Best Mod I think I could have ever done to my truck!



I removed these baby's and my check engine light went away, my rear axle seals stopped leaking and the clunk in the rear has gone away! I should have done this earlier!

Driver door won't unlock on the TJ..grr

That is straight up FUNNY!

They said they wouldn't pay me for advertising either so the little shiny sticker on the back corner of my Jeep disappeared on day 1.

exhaust fabbed :whistle: and installed. Duct tape wouldn't hold so tried my hand at welding. it's ugly but now my big leak is a small one.

replaced blown speaker so now I can't hear the small leak.

replaced upper and lower radiator hoses only to find out it was a radiator leak.

I need to try my hand at brazing for that now.

TJ's door unlocks now

Got a tow rig last night. It's pretty fancy, price was good, just got to get rid of the idiotic rims that the dealership put on it.

or get some gold-capped teeth and a huge dollar sign chain to hang around your neck; to replace the Flava-Flav clock, that is

this one?


or probably this one?

That one, but they took the 16" rims off and put a set of 20" on.

Oh yeah, the Air lift spring helpers and gauge pod for the trans temp gauge are on order.

sweet ride. Good choice. Step rails will be very valuable for Carter and Cassie.

well, time for an updated rig status.

Lil Chief is currently sittign in the driveway with a 1/2 done front winch bumper. The winch is mounted and wired but the control box isnt fastened down. I haven't driven or wheeled it in over a month. Hopefully I will get some time to work more on the bumper this weekend to make it functional for jake's Run.
The 44 is still on the workbench needing some final touches to the gear pattern. Once I get the winch bumper done I will start looking at slinging the 44 under there.
I have went through the Dana 30 and cannot find any problems but I hear a noise under acceleration and decelleration that I have not done anything with yet.

The GMC just broke 36,000 miles so now any problems it has are my problems. I feel pretty comfortable though because the Ford didn't even make it to 18K before having some major issues.

Do you have a disco 30?
