Thanks man! It's been one of those things where I know it's going to take only a day to make it run again, then a bit of parts scrounging to make it square. Add a little squirt of red paint, and it could be marvelous once again...but alas, for me, there's little time. My only desire to run the...

https://youtu.be/CZw_0PA6i6c Big Red has been sitting for quite a few years. NonOp. Located in Rio Vista, CA. Give me some money for the airplane fund and take it home. In my dreams, it's still worth the $12,000 we spent making this happen. Some people say there's a woman to blame, but I...

Did you roll your rig? Just tired of it? My DD has a miss, and at ~300k, it will be easier to simply swap with a low mileage engine. Anyone?

Years ago, before the kids made their own kids, camping on the Rubicon was one of our favorite things to do...and Big Red was the tote vehicle for all the camping gear, tools, and replacement parts for the Samurais. We had a fleet of those little guys, and three of them may show-up here in the...

does it run?

Looking for a donor XJ or parts to change over my MJ to AX15 (has the pukegeot), so I need the shifters, brackets, center console, etc. in addition to the AX15. Wouldn't mind having a 242 in the mix, and will have a 231 available.

might be interested in the 242 if it's still around.

Before you waste any more time, check the pressure in your fuel rail. (A) Should jump to around 40 psi when you turn-on the key (pump only runs for about a second, so several key on/off cycles may be required) (B) Start the engine. Should be just over 30 psi running. Should jump toward 40...

Have a cracked header on a 90 ltd. it's above the crotch of the Y on the inside. I've tried several things like that toothpaste looking stuff, but it never works. Has anyone had any kind of luck with any kind of manifold patch?

Last gas is the new station at Fresh Pond. From there, it's about 1Hr to the trail head. Ice House Cafe has the last gas, but they may not be open. You can carry five, but you won't need it. The trail is only 18 miles.

Spare NP207 TCase no longer needed. Appears to be fine. Used in '84-'87 XJ Command Trac. PM for info.

I agree, your dealer is firetrucking you...watch out for the big hose. (firetruck is a word that starts with F and ends with UCK). Drop by the local parts store and get yourself a pair of those cheap yellow sunglasses that they sell in a kit with a so-called LED based UV light source...

I don't know how to explain it except in some detail - though it won't be sufficient - you will need to seek a small amount of help from your local Linux user's group. LBA means Logical Block Address. Each 512 byte chunk of data (sector) is assigned a number from zero to whatever the last...

Brian, "CV Joint" is a class, not a specific instance. A Cardan joint, named for Cardano, an ancient philosopher/physician and inventor of the gimbal, is the same as what you know as a U-joint. A U-joint has a velocity profile that is eliptical (or sinusoidal) when the drive shafts are not...

WD has had a problem on some models with the internal air filter adhesive failing. This causes the filter to drop into the space between the platters and the head actuator, and this keeps the drive from spinning-up. You can open the case in a clean area, and use tweezers to pull the filter...

About six of us are trying to decide where to go while the girls are at the Harvest Festival on the 24th, 25th and 26th (Thanksgiving weekend). Care to join us? Give us your input about where you would go that weekend:

Can't think of any reason why not. Is the H1 available with a manual transmission? (the other common application for a 242) The 242 is much more expensive than a 231, so consider the mfgr's thinking: the 242 is a premium option with a premium price. Do you pair that with a low-cost manual...

We hope to leave Hayward with four rigs at 7am Saturday (yea, right - I'll believe that when I see it) we could be coming through SJ by about 8am. stopping at Bernal Albertsons. ...so we might make the Ranger Station by 10am. The consist for this train is: 2K XJ towing the Porta Party RV 88...

Regal, ChiXJeff said it well, but the 242 has a true center differential, not a viscous coupling. The TCD allows the tcase to accomodate the slip between the front and rear axles (which travel different distances in a turn) without significant loss of torque. The 242 is a great tcase - a...
