Yep. If anything, pack along a good soap or solvent for cleaning pine sap off hands. Pine cone collecting seems to be a big hit with The Varmints. In the fall I put them to work hunting for pine nuts.

Entertained? It is a whole new world. Just turn them loose and let them explore it. With certain limits of course. Don't point them at the cliff edge just before you turn them loose--that sort of thing--but a new world to explore should not require anything in terms of entertainment. Let...

I had them on my Trans Am. I was not impressed with how they were affected by UV light. They started to deteriorate within a few years.

Have you looked at the military type terminals? They do not have four 5/16" posts, but you do have two sides of a 5/16" bolt and two sides of a 3/8" bolt, and they can be had with insulated covers. Here is a link to an example of them: Military Terminals on Amazon There is another way to...

If folks have developed parts and are already dropping them that is a game changer. That may indeed mean there is no future for that platform. If that is the case, the sooner you sell the better.

Aftermarket support will probably come with time. It is a Jeep after all. The XJ went out of production 18 years ago. That is almost 2 decades. Aftermarket parts development is still happening today. And what is available today was not available within 5 years of the beginning of XJ...

I am very happy with the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I have been running them on the XJ for a couple of years, and liked them enough to have just bought a set of them for the Suburban.

There are a bunch of pics to be found here: NAXJA: Rear Cargo Area Thread

Put her behind the wheel of Cummins with a manual transmission and have her practice letting out the clutch in low. That is an un-stallable situation. Easy to get a feel for the clutch since there is no need to do anything with regard to fuel. Then move up to letting out the clutch in first...

I expect there are more details to this issue. Modified exhaust with CARB E.O. approved parts should not be an issue. That is the reason companies jump through hoops and spend money to get the approval. I would also wonder if this is not really a matter of folks who have deleted their...

Your seats are probably the most important factor in your choice. And I would not limit things by the seats that come with the vehicles. In fact, I would be inclined to pick out the seats that will work best for you and then figure out what your options are for a vehicle that will fit them. A...

Some of us caint hep it iffn we wuz bairn po' white trash. We still likes campin'.

But there is no fundamental law saying the exhaust must remain equal. Quieter mufflers, thicker wall material, resonators, the way the tip is directed at the exit... There are many ways to quiet an engine down. It all depends on the choices someone makes. FWIW I worked for a number of...

There is nothing about an older carbureted V8 that gives it any reason to be louder than a modern fuel injected V8. It is all a matter of choices. It may be hard to fit enough muffler under a small chassis, but other than that, a restrictive muffler should quiet an exhaust down. And if one...

I live this world. All the way down to "if I needed to borrow it three times then I simply need to buy one", and it isn't that folks won't lend it to me again. It simply shows that I need to own that tool. I have my tool kit broken into sub-kits. There is a kit in each vehicle that is...

We need to start a weight/length pool so that when someone retrieves these we can determine who makes the best estimates.

A sawzall is probably the right solution. Or perhaps an angle grinder with a couple of cutoff discs. It might be good if the thickness of the steel and the overall length of the fenders were known. When you are that far out there simply aren't many resources available for coping with the...

Hats off to MonkeyProof. Way to go. And thank you for showing the rest of the world how community works.

If you must keep your wench on a rope I suppose she will prefer synthetic over steel. Lighter and less likely to abrade the skin. I have steel cable on three winches and synthetic on one. Pros and Cons to both. I like the durability of steel. Synthetic has a weakness with UV. No such...
