    Want to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Sorry. Yes, the 4.2 is one of the 6 cyl engines...I beleive this generation still has a Schrader valve atop the fuel rail. I had to replace my fuel rail and the replacement dis not have a Schrader valve. At any rate, the "quick disconnect" to the fuel line was not very quick. That's a spot that...

    Want to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee

    A first generation Grand. Over here they designated those the ZJ. 1993-1998. Some people dont know that the ZJ was originally intended ro be the replacement for the XJ in 1993. They tested very well and the test group loved the new ZJ, but they protested when they were told it was going to...

    Tires

    I suppose this would normally be good advice. However, if the OP really is running one of the new Cherokees, I doubt an LT tire should be in his future. Very heavy for such a light vehicle and there may not be one in the right size. Someone else could chime in, but I have been reading lately...

    I ORDERED A BRONCO

    I agree, that's too rich for my blood. But what version was it and whith what options? A GMC K2500 Sierra Denali can fetch that price. Then again I wouldn't buy a new Denali, either

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    Didnt mean anything by it. -Sentimental value holds weight. Sometimes the most -A challenge is one thing. Banging your head against the wall is another, though you are right, too many things get tossed -I dont know what you might have against Lodge but I kinda like that they exist as the last...

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    Why would you, at this point? Something is wrong. Metallurgy. Casting. Something is wrong with it. Not my business of course, but I wouldnt build an overlander out an SUV with a rusted through frame. If theres a problem with the metallurgy or the casting of a cast. iron pan, those are the two...

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    Yeah...who knows WHAT that thing is really made of or where. Coleman sure didnt make thier own cast iron that I know of, so I'm sure they sent it out to thw lowest bidder or had some cheap place put thier name on it. Abandon that thing and grab some Griswold or Wagner off Craigslist or grab a...

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    "After 2 or 3 uses..." Are you oiling it again after every use and cleaning?

    I think theres even another thread on here about cast iron pans. A guy had a big collection

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    I think Field is the one I was thinking of. I could swear they got thier start in Massachusetts, but they say thier offices are in NY, with manufacturing in the midwest but not Tennessee where Lodge is.

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    Good video. I just had time to watch it. A year or so ago I had seen one from Cowboy Kent that I also thought was good, but yours is also thorough. I lament the fact that the GLAZED Lodge Dutch ovens are made in China, but we still bought one because at least the company is US. Though Lpdge...

    New Cast Iron Care And Maintenance

    Havent watched the video yet, sorry, but I agree with sanding, washing, drying, though I rinse well and towel dry first and you could even just put a fan on it. Yes, massage in some canola oil. But for me, I then obtained a nice smooth black finish by oiling, baking, cooling numerous times in...

    To lift or not to lift….old suburban

    Nice Jeep, but shame on you, ha ha, for equating the type of Blazer of which we speak with a Jeep Compass, sir! That's 50 lashes with a wet noodle! We aren't talking about the 2019's. We are talking abou the K5 and k1500's. Seriously though, they are not in the same ballpark. Full size 1990's...

    Leer Cap basket system recommendations

    Yakima stuff and Thule stuff are seldom easily compatible. You may want to try the Thule Canyon XT. It does have a T-bolt attachment option, which should fit into the same groove that your cross bar tie down "bookends" fit into. It only has a 150 carry capacity, though

    Leer Cap basket system recommendations

    Ah! I didn't chime in because I figured Grub had this handled. Now I'll be paying more attention. Looks like you have the cross bars that came with the Trac Rac Cap Rac, which is what I have. Trac Rac was bought out by Thule a few years ago. You may be able to find something Google-ing Cap Rac...

    New tire recommendations

    With my front end leveled, I have been thinking about 33's as well. The highway Yokohamas I have now are 265/65/18 and I think they look small under my truck. A guy gave me a $1600 estimate for Wildpeak 33's (they were actually closer to 34's) put on the 17 inch steel wagon wheels, and with...

    Nice truck. And I even like the color! I like the cab-height cap on the back. And the damage is just a badge!
