    Can openers

    You're probably saying "WTF" but, I needed a place to bitch and rant! Why is it impossible to find a decent can opener anymore? Seems like every one that I've bought in the last 10yrs has been a total pos! They might work for a week or two then, they no longer cut through the lid or hold on to...

    Leaving California.....for good this time

    I've been employed by the LAUSD since 1999, got laid off in 2012, took a risk and cashed out my 403B and put it down on a house in Utah....scraped by (barely) and got called back to my job after 38mos. Now with all the Covid "plandemic" hoo ha, I have to get tested weekly and wear a mask...

    Rubicon Express RE2602 steering

    Anybody have any experience with their new(?) inverted y steering setup or, at least some opinions? It seems to be pretty stout and similar to Currie's set up but, with the added convenience of readily available, off the shelf Moog (or similar) ends. Was looking at doing OTK heim jointed...

    WTF!

    Don't know if I'm posting in the correct section but, I do have a modified shift linkage. I'm at my wits end. Maybe you guys have an idea what's going on here. My Jeep is a 96' with an AW4. Whenever I shift into 4hi, it makes a loud rumbling/vibrating noise, only in 4hi, mind you not in low...

    Which linkage?

    Hi guys, I need help making a choice. I have in my possession a Dirtbound Offroad cable tcase shifter linkage and an Azzy's Design Works (similar to Boostworks but, way better quality) rod end setup.

    Transfercase chain width

    My 300,000 plus mile NP231 is making noise so, I'm planning on rebuilding it and want to be sure I get the right chain. I see listings for a 1" and 1 1/4" wide chain.....I'm fairly sure it's a 1" but, need verification before I order parts. Thanks, Hans

    WTF!

    Me and a buddy went for a little trail ride (I'm in a 96 XJ, he's in his 84 Bronco) out in the Anza Borrego desert today, was warm so ran the ac all day (nice to have cold, working ac) On the way back to pavement, stopped and aired up, drove into town and and stopped for lunch. Afterwards on the...

    Have a Powertra No Slip locker in a Trakloc carrier with 4.88 "thick" gears for sale. Pulled them out last week because the locker was acting up, not locking at times and "pushing". Might be the springs and pins or a defective sycronizer, I dunno. Got a great deal on a brand new Detroit so out...

    Thinking about going out again on Sunday.....don't have a TV so I can't watch the playoff finals anyway. So, anybody know if there is any snow left up at Lytle Creek? If not, might head up to Big Bear again......not alone this time! Hans

    D44 axle end play?

    I swapped a factory D44 converted to Explorer discs into my 96 a few years back. I fabbed the appropriate spacer, in my case .230" thick, to maintain proper bearing preload but, have always thought there was still too much end play. I've searched several websites and it seems to be a common...
