    Jeepless fun in AK...

    The picture should appear just by clicking on the link...with no special viewer needed. I think there was a problem with the hosting site that I've hopefully fixed.

    Anybody know how to fix picture sizes in posts?

    I just put a link into the message rather than the picture itself. That'll do it...for now anyway. :D

    Anybody know how to fix picture sizes in posts?

    In my previous post "Jeepless fun in AK..." my picture came out WAY big and makes it a pain to read the post (and see the picture for that matter). Is there a way to fix this.

    Jeepless fun in AK...

    Hey, while many of you were Jeeping it up in Tennessee, I was out in Alaska. I have to confess that I've not taken my Jeep out for a real off-road whirl for some time now so I'll have to make up for it eventually. But I did have fun in Alaska though and I have a bunch of cool pics to prove it...

    Emissions Fiasco

    Herculiner + Heals = Tear! On Monday, I had my 95 YJ emissioins tested to renew my registration. I thought I was saving time by going to a closer repair shop as opposed to the usual emissions place that I've used in the past which was another 5 mins away. For the first time in it's 8-year...

    Need Ideas - Nearing End of Refurbishment

    1045189 Thanks for the input. As for pictures, the shop that's doing the refub has a site where they post photos of the ongoing work. My refurb pictures are at: Ken's CJ-7 Being Refurbished I was going to wait a while longer to refurb it but the body needed it sooner or later and the...

    Is a 4 banger enough ?

    1045319 A 4-banger is fine...unless you plan on going up hills, desire to go faster than 60 mph (50 mph if you have 4 full size passengers, and 40 mph with 4 full size passengers uphill), plan to ever tow anything, hope to carry a load heavier than just yourself on and empty stomach and with...

    Need Ideas - Nearing End of Refurbishment

    1045416 Wow!! Thanks!! I just checked AustinJeeps.com and saw the covers. That's the first time I've ever seen the black overlays. With that in mind, I'm now wondering whether I should go with that vs. a chrome one with the thought that maybe a wee bit of chrome may not be bad as opposed to...

    Need Ideas - Nearing End of Refurbishment

    1045518 Thanks for the input. I'll probably just watch the hinges very closely over the years. I don't mind slight imperfections of paint peeling off...I'll keep an eye you for signs of rust and stop it before it ever starts. Worst case scenario, the timing may not be ideal, but I can always...

    evil steelhorse sound bar

    1045593 I have a YJ with a sound bar overhead and two speakers in the Thor Soundwedge behind the base of the roll bar plus the two dash speakers. The setup sounds absolutely great. The overhead sound bar helps tremendously and puts the softer lyrics and mid ranges right into your ears but you...

    evil steelhorse soud bar update

    1045678 Think the sound bar was evil? Try replacing the front dash speakers in your YJ. Those came straight from Hell and were spawned from the devil himself!! <sniff> Oh my God. I'll have to stop typing now <sniff sniff> as the mental bruises and trauma from that event are starting to...

    new speakers

    1045689 So you've decided to take a journey into the abyss of what masquerades as a rather simple speaker replacement. Well, my experience was anything but simple. If the dash speakers in your YJ haven't been messed with yet, it has at least one of not both upper speaker screws that will...

    Minorities and Jeeps ?

    1047064 Well well. That whole jeep and minority thing is true to a degree but I have seen more blacks in Jeeps recently...particularly when I look in my rear view mirror. It seems that eveyr time I look in the mirror, there's this really cool black dude driving in a Jeep. Basically, I'm...
