That's why I am building my own bar out of steel and will probably bolt it straight into my roll cage. I definetely overreact when it comes to security in my Jeep.

I've never ridden in a Jeep with a soundbar. Are they worth it? I almost never drive with a top or doors and am getting really tired of hearing nothing but wind blasting past my ears and distorted speakers. I'll probably build my own bar out of stainless steel and fit my own speakers in it...

Once you drill into the gas tank, make sure you grind all the burrs off and make lots of sparks.:flamethro Seriously though, there is a lot of useful stuff under there like brakes lines and the gas tank. You might remove the tank and make the job a lot safer.

Pirate had lot's of sweet pics and stories. Thanks for the suggestion. I still wasn't able to find out how the blue Dodge finished. I guess that means he didn't do so hot? Can't wait for the results and pics to finally be posted in the magazine.

I don't see how it could burn you....:? There is no direct heat source to the tub to make it excessively hot. It will get warm with the transmission and exhaust running below the floor, but never hot enough to cause any harm. It will keep you warm in the winter though.

You've checked all connections to the solenoid and all your grounds, including the block to chasis ground?

Almost 100% positive that it is your solenoid. They don't always go out all at once and usually start sticking before ending their life. If you have the trouble again just tap the solenoid with a mallet and it should break free. However I think a new solenoid/starter might be in the future.

It's actually my last boss' rig but here are some pics. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=14678746&imageID=627668201&MyToken=0e09ab95-6287-49a2-ac10-0421b67d576d http://fourwheeler.com/2006toptruckchallenge/129_0604_06ttc_2006_top_truck_voting/# It was a...

Anybody got any updates on how Top Truck Challenge is going? I've got a friend with a rig in the competition but haven't heard what's happening.

The light is pretty slick, but the price is ridiculous! Although, 85 watts ain't too bad.

V8's are overated. Diesel is awesome too, find a descent cummins 4bt and you would have one hell of a trail rig. But if you are looking for a cheap swap, I just swapped a Chevy 4.3L V6 into my YJ and love the 200hp it produces. The whole swap cost around $2k. Now that I think about it...

It sounds like I need to start getting some welding certifications. I can lay a descent bead, I'm just not rated for anything, espaecially TIG. What's the chances of a company paying for my schooling to be AWS certified?

I think I am going to start looking for a job in Alaska. I don't knew what yet, I just need something that will help pay off $50k of school loans. I've heard of people working in oil fields making $75k a year. I'm 20 and have no other obligations holding me to where I live now, so I figured...

Thanks for the help. My "towing package" must have been aftermarket. 'Cause I was crawling around under my XJ today and recognized the D35 that I have seen under my YJ.

I haven't ever heard of the Harley mirror trick. That' pretty cool.8) And just for the record. I still have both my nuts.:D

I heard a rumor that XJ's with the towing package came with a Dana 44 rear end.:-| I have an 87 XJ with this package. How do I know if I have a D44? Other than size is there any differences between the D35 and 44 axles?

It sounds like the 3M spray is my best option. Thanks for the advice.

First things first, stay clear of Texas! That might just be my current bad luck with the state (long story) but it is grey, flat, and it's full of lifted show trucks that never see the mud. Now what you need to consider is Portland, OR. It is in the center of everything. 2 hrs. drive to...

To make a long story short, I had to ditch my YJ with a freshly swapped Chevy engine, at school in Texas so I could come home to Portland, Oregon. For the summer I am driving an 87 XJ powered by 6 angry squirrels. The only problem is the headliner has come unglued and is hanging down in my...
