The Hobart line is sold through "box stores" like Tractor Supply Co. Hobart's products are geared for the casual user (Farm, Hobby, incidental maintenance) - review the duty cycle. Lincoln doesn't differentiate its Hobby machines from its Industrial machines. You buy Lincoln machines at Fleet...

I purchased my 88 Pioneer last summer - very low miles and a cream puff - totaly stock down to the air in the OE spare. I've had 5 CJ,s and a couple TJs however, this is my first XJ. The ride of the new XJ; however, was dangerously undamped (22 year old shocks have likely met there useful...

Insurance cost (and service) quality is very regional and cost wise is greatly influenced by your agent - I saved nearly 50% by changing agents ($1500/yr to $780/yr same policy coverage). Some agents are just more skilled (and willing) to execute disounts. Allstate was good for us; however, I...

Budweiser Budvar - sold state side as Czechvar.

The tire company reps at the race track shoot for a 10% increase in pressure from cold to hot lap (in the sportbike world). If your 30psi cold turns into to 33psi after you drive it, I'd say you are there.

A ceremonial saber is the appropriate gift for a new officer A prayer is the best gift when he is away A friendly voice is the best gift when he calls A hug followed by a little space is the best gift for his return

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it; however, It will likely be put to service as a DD sooner or later. I...

I'd look for another bender as that radius is not all that tight.

I'm thinking you have a bad freeze plug.

Grab a DMM and verify your ground. 0.5 ohm is desireable.

This is so true. I'm retired from the military and have been deployed for numerous contingencies. Knowing that you have support back home is uber important and a true force multiplier. Break out your red shirts boys and girls and give our warriors a thumbs up when you see them.

Extreme mileage cars are difficult to value. I'd think that $7k would be high for a typical 2wd; however, 14k miles is not typical. I recently purchased a 4wd RENIX with 4500 verified miles. I paid considerably more than $7k and I felt (and feel) just fine about the deal. Whatever you feel...

Looking good! Drop me a PM if you want to sell the OE wheels. I kinda dig em.

I went thru the files and the only reference I see is "Dover Grey Metallic" and it was a $170.00 option. Sorry, I do not see a paint code. Maybe the name will help,
