About a week ago I noticed when I turned right on the last switchback coming up my driveway that my jeep momentarily lost power. At first I thought maybe my foot slipped off the gas pedal. Twice today while coming back to town it did it also. Both times I was at a near stop making a right hand...

I don't think I'd try putting it into 1st gear going much faster than 5mph. I've driven a lot of old vehicles that had little shifting issues but once you learned them and how to bypass the issue they shifted well. Sometimes it's helpful to be just barely rolling before you put it in first or...

Ya, they are easy to remove/install. Probably the hardest part of the job is getting the nut loose. If it's stuck, spray some PB Blaster on it - maybe wait a day for it to work.

I bet the owner of that JK [or house] wasn't laughing!

What surprised me is you don't have to have a knee cap. Several yrs ago my BiL fell and broke is knee cap in two. The first surgeon didn't do a good job, the cap was rebroke twice in rehab. On the 5th surgery they removed his knee cap and threw it away because of infection. His recovery after...

Our grandson was the only one who's job was affected by covid. They shut down and he got a raise drawing unemployment. He is now back to work. All our kids kept working although masks and social distancing has been in effect.

That is cute! nice to start the morning off with a smile.

Before the blower motor went out on the XJ I used to have it would struggle to turn on the slow speeds but worked on high [or was it the other way around??] Anyway by the time it got bad enough to replace it would only run on one speed. Replacing the motor fixed it but your issue sounds different.

I didn't realize that, I was thinking it was weatherproof and could be mounted the same way :redface:

My 2010 jk is that way, the light goes on the first time the temps drop below freezing. That light is extra sensitive - it lights up if any of the tires drop below 34psi.

I installed a back up camera on my wife's Corolla. It installed just above the license plate and gives a good view of what's behind her car. The mount is adjustable so you can fine tune just what you want to see.

Life is still good, just a lot slower. Time goes by quickly, what I try to accomplish does not.

My 2010 Sahara came from the factory with 18" rims. The Rubicon comes with 17s.

Maybe it originally came from something different. 20 yrs ago that joint went bad on my 76 F100 4x4. Unable to find a suitable replacement I took a front axle end [pontiac?] and modified it to fit. Still works good today ;)

old and tired :(

That's a new one on me! I was thinking a real duck which reminded me of a goose walking up my mountain driveway yrs ago. It was preventing me from getting home. I'd ease up to it and bump it with the bumper of my XJ and it would fly 20' and go back to walking. We repeated this process all the...

I have a 2 door jeep jk and it works for us but as noted the back seat isn't very accessible for adults. I prefer the looks and maneuverability of the shorter jeep. My wife would prefer a 4 door jeep for the rare times we have back seat passengers .... but we do have a four door car for most of...

I think the torque is in the neighborhood of 40lbs although I'm more apt to tighten it by feel than bring out the torque ratchet.

I like spam, as a kid it was a welcomed treat.

NASCAR also utilizes the tear offs on their windshields but I've never heard of anyone using them on a street legal vehicle. post #9 made me grin
