I moved to the UK about 3 months ago with the Air Force. Got two Lexus IS200s when we got here, but we have decided that we need a different vehicle. If for no other reason than the need to be able to carry stuff home that is too big to fit in the lexus. Since I have been missing my XJ, this...

I am getting back around to unpacking all my stuff that I had in storage while in flight school. The Ford 9" I pulled has me in a bit of a situation though. It is a big bearing housing that I pulled from under a '69 F-100 or something along those lines. It measures 57" from flange to flange...

I have 2 2006 Honda Rebel 250CC bikes. One Black and One White. Both in pretty good conditon. Both were starter bikes for my parents, and they have each been dropped once. Mom got scared and will not let dad ride anymore so I borrowed them and have been trying to keep them in regular service...

I have been looking at beadlocks for a little bit as I map out my build across the winter. I had about decided on a set of weld on locks since it is gonna be a trailer queen most of the time anyway, but a buddy of mine has a set of 12 bolt hummer locks for sale. Since I was going to need new...

Saw a nice clean looking 1995 2 door on the Wilmington Craigslist the other day. I have been looking for a clean body to swap my junk to. Dude had it listed for $1000 obo. Figured I could swap my stroker and lift over, sell the drivetrain and axles then scrap my old body and come out even. Maybe...

I swear, I am a smart guy, and I know that Dad is smarter than I am, but he continues to surprise me with some of the stuff he is able to design and build from scratch. No plans. Don't get me wrong. Lots of guys have added CNC control to a pre built machine, I have not seen anyone build the...

I just ran across a trailer for the cherokee and bought it. It is an older twin axlw metal car hauler type. And the best part, is that upon pickup I noted that it was built using truck wheels (easier to replace tires), and that it has drum brakes on the back axle. So I can hook up a brake...

Ok, I have been shooting guns all of my life. Never really shot archery but I have wanted to get into it. I got the chance to buy a Diamond bow at a silent auction a few weeks ago. The bow itself is nice, good condition, smooth draw, and I only paid $70 for the bow with a nice hard case. The...

1989 Jeep MJ, 2.5L, 2wd, shortbed. Water pump shit the bed aout a month ago and this is the first chance I have had to replace it. Does it come off willingly, of course not. To the best that I can figure it, the nipple on the front of the water pump pully is jammed into the back of the fan...

Ok, So I have come to the realization that I need 1 project truck and one daily driver, not 2 project trucks, especially as I have a few TDY's coming my way soon and a PCS move. I also need a good truck soon to commute with, so the comanche gets to go. 1989 Jeep Comanche 2.5l/4spd man/2wd...

I got on the list to get one this morning before the store opened and the phone rocks. Nice big, clear screen. The multi touch works great. Used google maps with GPS on the way home and it was very fast, especially since I changed my route every time it decided on the best way home just to...

Ok, I have been looking into a new bike for a while, mostly metric cruisers. A buddy suggests that I go to the local Triumph place, I didn't even know we had one, and look around. I was very impressed. The Owner was out on the sales floor and spent about an hour with me just answering...

1989 MJ, 4cyl, man, 2wd, shortbed So it appears as though the manifold on the 4cyl models was a wet setup. I presume to aid in cold weather startup and running. I know on late model GMs the throttle body was wet for the same reasons. The waterneck and heater valve look just like a 4.0 so I...

1989, 2.5l, 4spd manual, 2wd, shortbed. Pulling into the Driveway yesterday my lower rad hose burst. Unrelated, I know. Went and got a new one today and set up for a back flush while I was at it. Got the hose running and jumped in to start it, nothing. Well, lights and gauges work, battery...
