Just saw this on the Tri-City Herald web site (video included): http://www.tri-cityherald.com/tch/local/story/9112346p-9028555c.html I've been to Hover Park several times and wheeled that same hill. From the looks of it, its not the worst hill there by a long shot. Maybe sams88 can give some...

Ok here are come of mine: Joe fixin' his water pump Mt Stuart from Lion's Rock Many thanks to John and his wife (and mother in law) for a Great Dinner!! --Karl

Well I am able to go up to Liberty just for saturday up and back. But I dont have my CB or antenna here..... Anyone got a spare CB (cig lighter plug) and a firestick/etc type of antenna mast? I have my antenna mount installed. Guess I could stop at the truck stop in North Bend or Ellensburg...

Ok, even though I am new to Seattle and getting settled in to my new job, and I dont have a permanent (as it gets) place to live here, I decided to go to NWFest anyways. 8-) Now, the only gotcha is I aint got no camping gear with me. Dont have mutch in the way of spares, either. Dont want to...

1989 XJ. Use: Street, DD. Moving to an area with Very Steep and Hilly roads. Great brakes nearly essential. I've experienced some brake fade with mine. I had the rotors and pads replaced about 26k miles ago, about 18 mos. I do some wheelin', nothing too extreme. Well, most of the time...

Look Out, Seattle! The Ultimate Trail Rig (TM) is coming your way! I'm taking a new job in downtown Seattle, and I start on Monday!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!! 8-D I dont think I will be going to NWFest, as I will be absorbed with the new job, and with moving from the dry side of the state. See you...

1989 XJ, 2" budget boost, LT235/75 tires. Daily Driver + Trail Rig. I have a replacement Gabriel Steering Stabilizer that I think is bad. How can I be sure without taking it off?

1989 XJ, Daily Driver. Replaced upper arm bushings with OEM bushings. I have squeaky upper control arm bushings. What causes them to squeak? They arent hard, or grease-soaked. They dont seem to be cracked. One set is fairly new, the other origional. The bushings and front end are tight...

This is probably best for the OEM tech forum but, I saw a posting there on something called a "collapsed lifter". I cant imagine what it is, and from the thread, didnt glean anything. Any of you gurus like John explain this?

Group: What fasteners would be handy to have in a "trail kit"? You know, nuts, bolts, screws and the like.

I've been looking at underbody skids for some time now. I've seen all kinds of configurations, esp for the transfer case and transimission area. Some look rather loony, hard to remove when you do tranny/t-case service. Some are rather expensive. I have the mopar t-case skid, which does work...

Anyone know if GIJohn was part of the battalion from Ft Lewis that got deployed to fight the Tripod Fire???? He said he was headed out in the field this week.

I am considering rebuilding my motor. Its a 4.0 and has 324,000 miles on the clock. Its a little tired but still runs great and uses little oil. Most of the work would be rings and anything else that needs replacement. How much do rebuilds cost?? Just the machine shop work, I can do the R&R...

Great time at the 'Fest! I asked several folks about some of the parts they used, and I would like to get more input. 1) Rock Sliders: I can see a use for those. ;-) I would like to know esp from Sniggs and Swifty088 (John) where you guys got yours from. 2) Lifts: Yes I am considering...

Just to let everyone know I made it home just fine and feel just fine. If I have any problems I'll go see the doc. Thanks for everything. --Karl

Just looking at the weather in the forest..... It's 100.4 here right now, at 17:30 in the Death Valley of Washington State. ;-) At Lee's Camp in TSF, its 78, the low was 51. Looks like its going to be about the same there over the next several days. 8-) I think I'd rather be there......

How far is it from Brown's Camp to the nearest (reasonably priced) gas station?

Anyone provide directions to Brown's Camp? I'll be coming from Portland area. I'm not familiar with that area. --Karl

1989 XJ 4.0, AW-4, OEM exhaust. 323,000 miles. Running great. Would like it to run better. Looking at Rusty's throttle body spacer and air tube, aka, "poor man's FIPK". Are these mods worthwhile? --Karl
