Free speech is important, probably one of the most important right that we have. However, is it really free - and what exactly does that mean? You simply can't say anything that you want to, just because you want to. Sitting next to someone being offensive is not cool. Sure, you could move, but...

Appreciate the response. What upgrade are you referring to on this site? The Jacobs aint' cheap by no means, so this sounds rather interesting.

quadratec discount Jacobs ignition systems - Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Or, is there another brand that you'd recommend for a 92 4L? Thanks

1059498 Regarding your interest in increasing your mileage - if the only siginficant difference that your friend's jeep has is the 411's, then you may want to consider the way you drive yours. I just bought and rebuilt mine (92YJ/6cyl/man) and haven't even used a tank of gas yet. But. . . I can...

1059508 Keep in mind that the engine temp has a direct relationship to fuel combustion which (of course) affects power output. If your engine isn't overheating (isn't 210 ok?) then why the change to the cooler thermo? Just curious.[addsig]

1059514 Maybe I'm gettin' old. Not really looking for the lexus ride, just would like to be able to stay in my seat while steering. I replased the stock springs with stiff 6 and 7 leafs and have compressed three vertibre. All kidding aside, I love the ride 'this thing drives like a jeep' came...

1059527 Sounds like your having fun. Dieseling occurs when the internal temperature in the cylendar is sufficient to ignite the fuel mixture without an electrical igintion. This can stem from either overheating or hot spots in the cyl. Hot spots are commonly caused from excessive carbon...

1059533 Thank you, for your responses. I've heard about the diving and didn't do the reversal during her rebuild for that reason - not to mention the drive shaft problem. Soulds like perhaps waiting for the break-in on the leafs might do the trick. Good advice.[addsig]

1059537 what model? I've got a set from a cj.[addsig]

1059539 Rule-out the simplest first. Rinse off the engine to remove the coolant. Run the engine and look for coolant leaks. Please watch the fan. May be just spillage from the flush. In any event, a competent mechanic would have never let you have your machine back with such a leak. Reconsider...

1059540 Drums can become functionally welded to the hubs with rust. Cutting them off may do damage to your machine, so try this first. Soak the joint around the hub circle just inside of the lug pattern with penetrating oil. Get out your trusty propane torch (MAPP) is worth the cost, as it...

1059542 Forgot to mention - disks are the best way to go. But as with any modification, you have to weigh the cost with the return. If you're in the water, mud, or breaking a lot decending hills, then disk breaks will fade less, loose friction less and offer substatntially better reliability...

1059544 You guys are a hoot. What's a PJ? Jeeps are not SUV's Say it ain't so. [addsig]

1059546 Gotta disagree with this one, guys. At least females aren't slaves to testosterone and won't let their brain get in the way of being way cool dude. [addsig]

1059669 sorry to hear about your problems with the new roof. i was thinking about the sunrider but shared tug's thoughts about too many parts. hard to fit it all just right - partiularily with jeeps as they have substantial tub flex. have you contacted best top yet?[addsig]
