Well, it finally happened. The non-TUPY 0331 head on my 2000 XJ popped. After 159,400 miles, during a road-trip, over 1000 miles from home. As it turns out, it was lucky I was on a road-trip. The only symptom I noticed was a single stutter before it would start, and markedly lower mileage. If I...

Well,.. That’s finally over. All the wailing liberals should remember that Mr Trump was a liberal leaning Democrat for a long time before he was a Republican. All the cheering conservatives should remember that before he was a Republican, Mr Trump was a liberal leaning Democrat for a long...

'Finally got fed up with all the little niggling problems with Bone and went to work on it. Funny, AC has been problematic for years, and it was the heater core that drove me over the edge,.. in Arizona. The list: Rear main seal - leaking Timing chain cover seal leaking Oil filter adapter seal...

This sub-forum was started to segregate the political crap from the rest of the "off-topic" stuff. There was some pretty heated discussion during the last 2 election cycles. This year? Nothing. I have a feeling that it's not that no one here cares. My hunch is, it's so bad this year that...

Well, it looks like Jeepspeed is finally giving the Comanche a little love. At least the SWB Comanche anyway. Member Zoomy97acr managed to get Jeepspeed to issue him a number for my truck. We're currently prepping to run in the Mint. The truck is one of the old class 7s SCORE trucks, and it's...

Can anybody spot it? :looney:

Only costs around $350.00. That's to find out if you qualify. Apparently they can't tell you if they're going to issue a permit until you complete all the training. None issued so far. Link to article at Washington Free Beacon Link to article with commentary at Hotair.com Back in the 90s, I...

Not so much in the resurrection of the name as in the lack of improvement in fuel economy. I got bored a couple weeks ago and went down to harass the local Jeep dealer. A friend has a new Ram Powerwagon, and I'm really impressed with the integration of the electronic bells and whistles. Got me...

This last weekend I was talking to a dealership mechanic friend who had just completed a gear change on a 2014 JK. When he took it for a test-drive, it threw a code and set off the check-engine light. Several hours of research and testing showed that the problem was a discrepancy between the...

Anybody following this? There's pretty full coverage at Bearingarms.com (link) I linked to one of the articles, but there's four or five on the issue as I write this. Thhis is kind of new.(for me at least) Not ATF abuse, their ever-changing "rule of the day", the "hut hut hut" full swat gear...

I was at a cruise-in a while back, and found this: (thumbnail is link to larger photo at photobucket.) Kind of makes you a little green, doesn't it?

One of the more esoteric fields I follow the news on is solar activity. While we're not sure just how much of the year by year, decade by decade climate oscillation is driven by solar activity, global temperature and climate do seem to line up with solar activity - sun spots. So there's this...

I don't watch the show, but I find it interesting that they can "fire" a family member of a "reality" show. So will this be like the episode of Family Guy where they have a reality show based on the Griffen family and replace the unpopular Meg character with a more likable cuter new Meg? Or...

It just occurred to me. I missed the tenth anniversary of my purchase of my XJ. Maybe that's why it was mad at me.

With the photographic moment in the salvage of the ship, the Costa Concordia is back on the front page for a bit. I was watching the news this morning, and Fox was covering what has been going on with the legal case against the crew. It seems that the Captain is facing trial with charges that...

It's that time again! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2427946/O-zapft--Beer-drinkers-Mecca-begins-Oktoberfest-kicks-Munich-traditional-cry.html Seems a little early, but,..

Contortionism anybody? (link to story at Daily mail.com) 'Honestly don't know how she can do that.

I can't get to the original article, linked page won't load.(dammit! where's my tinfoil!) Here's an excerpt from the dailykos article linked at the bottom of the page. The kos article doesn't give enough background to tell if this is any more then a tiff between a police chief and a city council...

Lets break it down by category: pistol, rifle, and a separate category for military.(either been on the gun crew or pulled the trigger.) Anybody ever fire a pistol over .50cal? How about a really big rifle. One of the old express cartridges, or the old bore gauge elephant rifles? What about a...

Just a thought. Part of the problem with "Vote the bums out!" is that to vote the bum out, you have to vote for another bum. While republicans may find their current(republican) representative reprehensible, they're not going to vote for a democrat. Likewise, democrats who don't like the...
