I'm in Central NC. I've been to URE a couple times, haven't been in the last year or so! I'd be up for a run once I get the next work on the jeep done! (if that ever gets to happen!:roll:

Has anyone seen any deals on wheels lately? I'm looking for a 15x10. It's function and not looks I need. I remember seeing deals while just surfing, but I'm not finding anything lower than 75 bucks or so lately? Anyone seen any good deals?

I'm also comparing the two kits. the RC is 50 less than the SkyJacker. But the SkyJacker comes with a bumpstop spacers and a drop down pitman arm. Does anyone know if the Pitman arm is necessary? I've installed RC kits before, once on a TJ and once on a F250. They installed easily, but I think...

LOL. i checked it yesterday, its only the 48 incher, so looks like i'm good to go!!!

I tried the heat gun on some bumper jugs I had laying around in the garage. It made the world of difference and cost 0.00. I'll definately be trying that on the fenders and other parts that are fading. It's right in my price range of making the jeep purty! 8)

Can't remember which height it is, but knowing me, i probably bought the biggest one available!! :(

full size spare. Hi lift. 9k winch with gloves. tow strap. ratchet tie down straps. p/s fluid. oil. phone charger. cb (hard mounted) fire extinguisher. basic ratchet, sockets, and wrenches. tire plugs. TIRE VALVE STEMS!!! (trust me, VERY handy) portable compressor/jump box. 1 led...

Yep I'd agree sounds like a grounding issue. Lights, gauges, and running issues can all stem from a single bad ground. Not sure where to start at, but maybe someone else knows which ground may impact all these things? I'm thinking one under the dash area somewhere...

So you just used clamps for fencing to do that? Can ya get me a pic of the other side. I'm going to check out HD today, but I think my high lift jack it too tall. :x

THanks. I've tried that. So far so good. Though I havn't had to use it all that much. I also found a ton of cracked vacuum lines and have been replacing them as I have found them.

Ok, this has probably be covered before, but I just havn't been able to find it. If some one knows what is going on then please tell me cuz I haven't got a clue. 91 xj, 4.0l. If I connect up all the vacuum lines, i have constant vacuum to both the ends of the front axle locking actuator...

That is a good idea, and I will price it out. Another question is this. I have a donor xj that I have been using to 'revitalize' both the other two running xj's. I stole the water pump of the donor for the one that is overheating, and tossed the original one. is there anyway to tell if either xj...

Ok. I have a 1988 jeep cherokee, closed cooling system on a 4.0l engine. It constantly over heats, just to humble me I believe. I have replaced the radiator, both upper and lower coolant hoses, expansion tank and cap (it did help alot!) headgasket. When I had the head off, i did a visual...
