just wondering, I was getting ready to go through the engine in my 77 f250. I decided after alot of research to keep the 400. I know they can be made into torque monsters, and I don't need more than they are capable of so I don't see the need to spend the extra cash to swap in a 429 or 460. I...

yeah, I know, it's a bad idea, but hear me out. I was given this POS 92 dodge dakota 4x4. T-case chain is broken. All I want to use this truck for is hauling trash to the landfill, but it is completely helpless in 2wd. I just want to get the 4x4 working good enough to get itself out of a mud...

I want to regear my axles, but when I do it I want to do the disk brake rear and trusses and lockers and all the works and I would prefer not to be rushed. My waggy is my DD, so I want a pair of axles already geared to throw in while I get mine built. I want them in good usable shape, as I don't...

87 waggy, has new ujoints in front axle, new wheel bearings, rebuilt front driveshaft, rebuilt transfer case. Still, when under load at highway speed in 4wd, it shakes like a wheel is coming off. And no, the wheel is not coming off, i just removed and replaced it. what the...

going to be getting some new tires soon and was wondering whats the cheapest place either online or in the Des Moines, IA or Ames, IA area to get km2s?

Barely made it home from work Wednesday because the transfer case in my waggy was howling like a banshee. Output bearings are shot. Got my parts today but havent fixed it yet. This morning I got up and had to go find some stuff for the wife at the store. Hopped in her car and the damn serpentine...

I know its not the normal place to shop for ford parts but I am having trouble finding one anywhere else so it is worth a shot. I need a 4 barrel intake and an edelbrock or carter 600cfm carb for my ford 400 in my f250. If anyone has anything or knows of something let me know, thanks!

Just got my test results today and I was wondering if there are any other Mensa members on NAXJA?

A friend has spotted a lifted XJ in a junkyard some distance from my house. It has no wheels or tires on it so I can't identify roughly how much lift it would have. He said the jeep has a skyjacker sticker in the windshield and the junkyard owner said the tires that were on it were "huge". He...

just thought I would let people know I saw an ad for an all breeds jeep show at the fairgrounds in Nevada, Ia this weekend. All military vehicles, toyota landcruisers, jeeps and the like will be there. Swap meet and driving skills course as well. I think I will go this saturday, so if you see a...

I need to sell the wife's WJ. I put a reman 4.7 in it about 7000 miles ago. New lower conrol arms in the rear, new brakes all the way around, new power steering pump. Loaded, grey leather interior, all the options, everything works. 168k miles on the body. 4200 cash takes it home. Call...

My friend and I have a 79 ford f150 frame with axles to sell. Both axles are complete and still mounted to frame. Both axles are in good shape. Front axle is disc brake with lockouts. Complete frame available or just the axles/radius arms. We also have a set of factory ford aluminum rims from a...

Just wondering, im thinking of making a new wiring harness for my rig and was thinking about selling a few on the side. Ive already sourced all the connectors and whatnot and was probably going to add a few relays and a couple switches for some add ons in the process. Would there be much...

Just thought I would let the MWC know that I got my hands on a Snap On MT2500 cheap so if anyone near State Center, IA (between Ames and Marshalltown) would like to scan their renix feel free to drop me a line and we can work something out. No charge, of course. It's definitely helped me tune my...

Don't know if any of you enjoy a cheezy joke like me but if you do lets hear em! I will start.... Do you know how they make holy water? They boil the hell out of it.... Cheezy is good...

I have an Ingersol Rand 3/8" cordless impact. It has been the handiest tool I have ever bought, especially when going to the u pull it yards or when working away from power. I spent the extra cash for the IR since it was the most powerful 3/8" I could find at the time. The batteries that came...

So I have been nitpicking and tuning and playing with this jeep for a year now. Its an 87 wagoneer 4.0. From what I started with it is a completely different animal, however it's still not quite there. First off I have replaced the water pump, thermostat, and heater core. I also replaced the...

If anyone happened to be on I-35 today between Minneapolis and Des Moines and noticed a bright red f-250 pulling a nice black WJ, that was me! It was a long trip but I scored the wife a 99 wj limited loaded with a bad 4.7 in it for $1,000. Sucked running into the snow with the trailer but we...
