Okay, it was about -25c today, with the winchill all the way down to -30c It was so cold that i actually had to use TWO HANDS to move my shifter cause the gear oil had thickened this much. I wasnt sure if it was just my jeep being cranky or not, so i tried it out on my toyota... same thing...

Lunchbox locker - front or rear? it was about -12C (-22C with the wind chill) last night... I've seen colder. The good news is that my jeep started up no problem this morning... and i forgot to plug in the block heater :roll:

Piece of cake... 2 9/16" bolts and one 1/2" bolt for the wire bolt. Replaced it in like 10 mins. Took it down to canadian tire and they even gave me $30 trade in for it on a brand new Bosch with a 5 yr warr... Not bad.

easy to replace, i take it?

that sounds like what is happening. I was looking in the haynes manual in regards to the starter "solonoid" and they showed a picture of the starter switch :roll: But i know what you are talking about. Its the little acuator that actually pushes the gear into place to engage the flywheel...

Okay, i've been having weird problems with my starter lately. Whats happening is that it will start to turn over, and then it feels as though it "pops" out of its gear and just starts spinning freely. I usually have to crank it about 2-3 times before it will actually turn over the engine. I...

I dont trust flu shots... Its all a CIA conspiracy to steal our dna and make mutant super soldiers i tell ya!

Okay, if we are talking about CJ's that use the old style delco alternators then alternator swaps are super easy. When my original alternator died (bearings went) i swapped in an alternator from my neighbour's GMC sierra and it worked like a charm. Of course that alternator didnt have much...

Okay, have to ask the really obvious question here... Are you really hurting anything by leaving them locked? I normally leave them locked for most of winter and un-lock them for spring, or if the weather and roads are un-seasonably dry i might un-lock them. That way, when i need the extra...

The last thing we need is to make a martyr out of this guy. These nutbars are already suicide bombing everything in site since his arrest while screaming his name like he's allah or something. Just immagine how bad it will get if they do 96 him. That being said, if they DO fry him, i only...

Actually, thats whats showing up in most current model volvo's now.

Actually.... I was just speaking with one of the other companies that i do business with about this, and this IS true even here in canada. You see, If a business uses a hummer as a billboard on wheels, it falls under the same category as a van or a truck that is used for promotional purposes...

Actually, i'd say that xbox is the one that has the titles nobody plays. The only one you ever even hear about is halo, which is an old and tired genre of FPS combat games that were boring in the mid 90s and are still boring today. Everything else is either a port from another platform with a...

best H2 site there is........hehe The X-Box is the hummer of video consoles. Big and Useless! :roll: The ps2 has definitley got the most stuff for it, and seems to cover all genres of games, unlike the xbox which seems to cater only to shooters and sports games. As far as title...

I'm assuming you have the 4.2 engine here with standard delco alternator. Anyways, there are only three wires that connect to the alternator. There's the white two-pronged plug that connects to the top with a brown wire going back through the harness and a red wire with a loop on the end of...

The painless harness is more convenient, but it is rediculously expensive for what it is. I've just been re-wiring my CJ with inexpensive bulk wiring and using the stock fuse box. Seems to work fine so far. The wiring schematics in the Haynes manuals are a little hard to follow at times. I...

rock slider angst you guys are getting WAY too fancy with this :lol: This is all you need: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F007%5F002%5F009%5F003&product%5Fid=40%2D5001 I mounted them on the rear wheel wells right behind the rear roll bar...

The windshield has those two large knob-bolts and brackets that make it nearly impossible to pull the dash with the window up. I usually just fold down the window for easier access to the dash.

Absolutely! You will need to disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core in order to remove the heater box. Be careful with the coolant that comes out! I would recommend some hose clamps to minimize spillage, but its gonna get messy either way. Just get some large CLEAN jugs before you...

My nick "chinard" is a fairly obscure reference, and only 5 people have ever caught the reference without me telling them. Anyways, I'm a huge Clive Barker fan, I tend to name most of my computers and stuff after things in clive barker books like "midian", "quiddity", "lemerchand" and so on...
