Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
My biggest concern is someone rearending you. I have had 4 vehicles hit me hard that way. My custom bumper and reinforcing protected the vehicle. The cans would have been right in the way. If you are going to carry them on the back, I would carry them up higher.
I'm an old, beat up, busted up, adrenaline junky, so my BP didn't really go up that much. I was just worrying about how much it would damage it and if I would be able to drive it home. My wife was across the way, video taping it. She got a bit rattled. The mild mannered, prim and proper...
Loud sounds coupled with excessive asprin gave it to me 50 years ago. I just learned to live with it. The worst thing is that it messes with understanding speech.
Life happens. Things got tight some years ago and I sold it. I have all the materials in the shop but I really don't need it anymore.
The pucks hold up well but they are only a buck a piece. Never had anybody steal the jack but you could easily drill a hole across the end of the bolt and put...
I grew up south west of Walden, Colorado. We lived 14 miles from town and 4 miles off the road. I have seen it -62F and we would get over 200 inches of snow a year. This was before cellphones and pretty much before 4wd.
Skill and wisdom is first used to not get stuck. I always carried tire...
If I am not working out of state, I hope to make this. I am putting it on my calendar. I will drive the XJ down and pull the teardrop.
I was thinking of trying to put together something similar up in NorCo. I was going to invite all the NAXJA folks.
Just remember to coat your jack with oil/grease more often that I did, or it will end up rusting. I used a radiator clamp to hold the handle up. They make some neat ones with a thumb nut so you can do it without any tools. It is also a nice spare to have in an emergency.
Within RMNP starting at Estes Park, try going up Fall River Road, a one way dirt road to the top, and then down the paved road or down over towards Grand Lake on the highway.
Here it is after a long weekend in my garage.
I wheeled it hard for 3 more years before the unibody spot welds started popping like popcorn. I got a donor body and did a 4 day driveway swap by myself.
My local Airgas will not refill a polished tank or a painted tank. They coat the tanks with a temp sensing paint. If you heat up aluminum, you modify the temper and the strength. Powder coat temps are a concern . I own my tanks, not lease. I have wanted to powder coat mine (I have a...
Being a fabricator and a tightwad, I built my own roof rack but wanted to hang a high lift on it. Here is what I came up with. I took a hockey puck and drilled a hole in it for a bolt, then sliced it perpendicular and made two half moon pieces. A bolt through or welded to what every you are...
I took the teeth off the Dana44 rear pinion on Poison Spider Moab. The broken teeth in the case kept locking up the gears.
I ended up having to jack up the rear, pull both axles, pull the carrier, then remove the ring gear. I cleaned out the housing and reassembled everything and drove out...
