Reply to Terry Yes that is the issue, will give that a try. Thank you Gary

Top bolts no issue; placement of shock to mount on rear axle is PITA. The rubber washer inside the metal insert will not fit inside the mounting bracket! Any ideas?

Sounds good to me! Thanks...

just got back to forum, temp never goes over 210 deg. Just moves up and down between 210 and 190 as you drive about...was thinking sticking thermostat or sending unit-just not sure...

have a 190 deg thermostat

After thermostat opens up and temp then drops to normal operating temp, the temp gauge will fluctuate to 210 and then drop to 190 or so...any ideas?

Be nice if fittings were on ujoints and drive shaft but none are there. My concern is the front slip joint which has s rubber boot...

Have lubed rear slip joint on Jeep TJ 2.5. Looks as though there is a slip joint up front. Should it be greased as well?

My TJ is stock except for the 235/75x15 tires. Has 162,000 miles. The height at rear bumper is 16"; front bumper measures 18.5" from ground. Normal or in need of new coils, etc.

Got lucky today by picking up a frame mounted hitch very reasonable...All is well...

Besides a TJ I own a 1963 VW Bug. I have had the same Sears Die Hard in Buggy for nearly ten years. And, I run only a generator! Granted there isn't much electrical drain in a '63 Bug, but give it up for the Die Hard!

New drums, hardware and cylinders. Brakes performing as they should after the light sanding of shoes and drums...

Tardy getting back. Turns out problem was high spots on shoes. Sanded down shoes as well as inside of drums lightly. Problem solved.
