Seven years ago. Seems like both an eternity ago, and merely yesterday, but be it seven, or seventy years, I think that everyone in this country will remember that moment... I had just woke up, came downstairs, groggy, and tired. My mom was crying, and my dad looked at me, and said "We're at...

Brilliant choice on so many levels, IMO...

I absolutely LOVE Top Gear... I mean, it has everything... People out of their normal element... Sports cars and big engines that make *such* delightful noises... Those insane epic challanges... And above all else, the presenters on the show are just grand, funny, witty, and they banter well...

Leaving tonight, T-minus three hours... After Jeepy was in the shop for eight hours having the mysterious loss of brake fluid investigated... Rear brake cylinders, shot, both of 'em... Rear axle seals, shot... Which explains why my brakes have not been so impressive; it stops SO much better when...

Computer in the engine compartment of a Cherokee sits right between the AIR CLEANER BOX, and the DRIVERS SIDE of the engine compartment... It's a black box with cooling fins, and several wire harnesses plugging into it on the top... I have a 2000, but it's in the same place, the aforementioned...

Just enjoying a peaceful day at home... Was going to go to this: Detroit Symphony Orchestra - Event Detail, but they ended up being sold out... Madison Heights had the fireworks at our pre-4th Festival in the Park last Sunday, they were spectacular as always... Speaking of which, this is the...

For reference, I was informed that the gauge on the XJs is not quite right... It sits there, innocently just slightly above 210, and you think all is well, till it blasts up to 260. The engine is not just suddenly going up 50 degrees, for some reason, the gauge does not register that range...

Assuming the compressor is OK, check the tension on the belt. Usually after I have replaced/serviced my serpentine, I will test it at full load; all electrical on and on high for maximum resistance at the alternator, air conditioning on for resistance at the compressor, and hit the gas a couple...

Between Indian River and Onaway... About 8 miles off exit 310 in Cheboygan County. It's always good to meet other Jeepers. I'm trying to remember, as near as I can recall, it's a bit of a ways from Michigan Tech... It's a 4 1/2-5 hour drive for me from Metro Detroit.

I have to admit, I find it odd that every environmentalist in the country is up in arms about drilling here... Now, firstly, I'm a pretty green sort of fellow... I ride my bike, I compost, I prefer to use sunlight or candles when possible, computer's controlling lights and fans in the house so...

I am heading up north to my property the last week of July... Open invite, friends, family, come as you are, stay as you like, leave when you want. Can't wait, I could use the getaway, and it's been about 2-3 years since I was last up there, and over a year since Jeepy's seen anything besides...

This is some very good advice you have given... Just passed it on to my brother last night; in a discussion about the disgusting totals on the pump when filling up gas tanks, he brought up the possibility of selling his Jeep, as even when he gets it back on the road, there's no way he'll be able...

Whoops... Near as I can tell, I had deleted the proper after "grown" picture from my imagecave... It's back now... And trust me, you wouldn't want those tires now, they're as bald as could be (and still on the Jeep) :(

I knew he was young too, I think you're right about the age, he was either still in, or just out of high school when he did it... Amazing.

He is, or was, a subscriber of this board, by the name of XJNick, if I recall correctly... I remember the build, he kept us all well informed, amazing stuff, really.

Jeep! And thanks to all involved, what a thoughtful and pleasant gesture.

Someone broke into my roommate, and friend's Jeep about a week ago... Parked right across the street from my house, directly under a streetlight, smashed up the trim, and stole the radio... 5 year old CD player that barely worked... I know times are hard, especially here in Michigan, but...

Assuming you have the straight 6 engine, pull the back breather elbow off of the top of the engine. Be gentle with it, it is plastic, and can snap. It will twist, and then pop right off. Blow that out, blowing from the elbow part. Chances are, the tiny little hole at the bottom is clogged with...

My brother and I had pretty good luck at teamgrandwagoneer.com... Hope this helps :)

Cotton gin, not so bad... Polyester whisky, pretty rad...
