No, ride was excellent. The polyurethane gave it a good solid ride with no side-to-side movement. The panhard bar not needed. Yes, I went with the stainless brakelines as that is what was available when I went to replace them. The lift kit came with extenders for both front and rear. Go...

OH ... the ride was so solid, I removed the front panhard bar without issue. Keep the swaybars, though.

I put that lift in my 93 YJ last summer. Install was straight forward. At the same time, I installed aftermarket, one-piece spring shackles with greaseable polyurethane bushings ... only way to go. Get replacement front brakelines and SYE/driveshaft installed as soon as $$$$ and time allows.

You might as well ask why we like The Three Stooges, Benny Hill or action movies. I don't know. Might be the disconnect that has us confusing grunts and prehistoric noises with actual communication. That said, there was an episode of The Drew Carey show where someone had dubbed in flatulant...

I also installed the RE standard duty 2-1/2" lift kit, or I thought it was the standard duty. Everything fit great, no issues installing (I replaced the spring shackles as well) and after almost 2 years still show about 3-1/2" of lift ... they never relaxed. For me it is not a problem but I...

Sorry to hear you'll be selling your TJ. As I live about 15 minutes south of Sacramento, the Sierras are about an hour away and they offer some incredible trails and vantage points.

Got back late Sunday night from Georgia where we watched our son's graduation from Army Basic Training. Our entourage spent the week at Ft. Benning for Family Day and Graduation ceremonies then, later, transported Willie to Ft. Gordon where he will spend the next 22 weeks completing his advance...

This was the trip my daughter and I took last Sunday that also marked the end of the trail for the transmission in the YJ. Good news was we got home without a hitch! After clicking on the link below, the page loads and you can "double-click" on the first pic and you get larger photos ... or...

Honestly, I had given that some thought over the last few months and there were a handful of factors in making my decision just to rebuild: 1 - As badly treated as it had been before I got it, the transmission made it to 160K miles. Says something for longevity and strength. 2 - Before...

Well, verdict is in ... Pumps front and rear are toast, bearings very loose, bands and clutches are burnt with a lot of the friction material "removed" which accounted for the grainy, black stuff in the fluid. After talking to the technician, the squeeling noise I thought was a loose drive...

This is fun! Good idea.

You got 'em. Remember to take care of yourself by getting plenty of sleep and good meals. You will not be able to accomplish what will be necessary over the next few weeks otherwise. Don't forget to contact some of those groups he has been involved with as well. People like your dad probably...

Those pics you posted tell the story, that is for sure. When the flow is that brown, there is a lot of movement. Prayers and best wishes for you, your family and neighbors!

Took my daughter for a run up to Signal Peak this afternoon (will get pics posted later) and had a great time with no performance issues at all. Everything worked great. So we've driven back to town and are pulling away from the first stop light (after getting off the freeway) and I get a odd...

As appealing as both of those options appear, I think I'll go with the professional fireworks display ... thank you very much. ;-)

Here's a big THANK YOU who all you who keep and kept the FREE in freedom and to the families who love and support them. This year takes on a special significance for my family as we're waiting by the phone for a call from our son who just left for Army Basic Training. Those of you who have...

Just one more post then I'll close this out ... Finally a Jeeper: Didn't mean to ignore you. ROTC is a good way to go. While I was in college alot of my frat brothers were AFROTC. It is also my understanding that while on active duty the "officer" beds are are comforable than "enlisted"...

Very emotional day today. Our family took the opportunity to attend the "swearing in" ceremony at the MEPS of all recruits leaving today for basic training. There were probably 60 or more overall ... Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. At first I thought I was just being emotional because my son...
