    Well, a drug dealer is free again.

    RE: Speaking of Christmas... Hold him 2 hours then spring him. Let his boys wonder how he got out so fast. I have a friend that's a CT Trooper, he always says, "I didn't see what color they were" (profiling's a big thing here).

    RE: Trailer towing package 4.0L XJ 1998 Thanks, I'm finding this to be the toughest part of the whole job :D . As I mentioned, winter is here so all outside work just slows way down, I have until May to deside. I don't want a color that will be too far away from stock looking, I aways liked...

    Clutch or Transmission?

    RE: If I want to make a steering arm... I order from this place. http://www.synlubes.com/ It's about $8.00 a quart so not many want to carry it.

    Put a face with the name

    Found a picture of me and OUR boat (Rung Sat River - 1967) This is one of my grand daughter Erin and me. Sometimes, during the summer, we have Sunday breakfast at the beach.

    Gawd, on a YJ? I can't even think about it :D Maybe an 1" not really worth the trouble. I would do a 2" body lift then you would maintain that great YJ ride. Then add about 3/4" lift shackles. Probably the cheapest way out. When you have the cash for a suspension lift just leave the body lift in.

    CJ-3A Question

    RE: Popping beneath jeep while turning Most need a LOT of tinkering. I would say in the ball park of $1500. I had mine transported from CO to CT. The fuel pump puked while loading it on the truck in CO so it cost an extra $500. to winch it everywhere and that was the beginning. I'll post a...

    ICE AND SNOW FOR A TJ?

    I think Wranglers really suck in snow & ice. A full size Jeep is MUCH better. Remember, the wrangler is only 2 wheel drive (one front & one rear) unless you have some kind of extra traction device. I also have a Grand, THAT Jeep is excellent. You never know what a Wrangler (short wheel base)...

    Just about anywhere in CO (if you don't mind sharing with mountain cats and bears). We usually go anywhere up from Boulder area but there's plenty more. worth the trip.

    lift question

    I think you're thinking of a body lift. In the case of a body lift you'll have to move your radiator down 1" for a 1" body lift. I did my YJ but it's bare bones and no A/C.

    Good American Company?

    RE: Re: RE: Best kind of video camera??? You all seem to be debating the American Worker but they really don't affect what's going on now. It's all about capital investment companies (investment groups buying and selling companies). We've been sold 3 times in 3 years and I'm sure our China...

    Good American Company?

    I think you're a little late. Everything is made offshore. We are a major supplier for nuke subs and carriers so everything is made in specialty shops and pured in the US. Subs are secretly looking at some forign made stuff and trying it out as retro-fits but I'm not sure how this will turn out...
