That favorite tools thread got me thinking ... it might be fun to know what folks have forgotten to pack then regretted it... For me the most memorable one is a nipple for the compressor. I had to drive 12 miles of pavement at 20 mph to find air. Oops. (heh. the wife chimes in ... "don't...

Last night I was playing computer guy for a neighbor and built up a new PC and installed Windows 2000. All went well until I tried to install Office 2000 and discovered that I had brought along an upgrade CD set. It kept telling me that it couldn't find any "qualifying products" already...

Many of us have described our pets, here's our chance to have the rest of you meet them, if you haven't already. This is Tucker, the smartest d**n dog on the planet, and one of the most spoiled rotten. He loves wheeling, and he really likes the XJ because he can ride inside now, instead of in...

I've got a call pending with RE, but they're busy so I thought I'd ask here. I'm real tired of waiting for the RE6300 xjla kit, and even more tired of being told its availability is imminent. So... Is it possible to install the RE6200 5.5" short arm kit and have a relatively painless migration...

The reviewer has one, and actually likes it... http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/09/18/bus2.feat.porshe.suv/index.html Prominently featured on the same page: "Six car buying mistakes to avoid" :)

I suppose everyone has seen that bumper sticker by now... but here's proof. I just had to share this, I'm always a bit in awe of this mutt. My wife just called and told me "your dog" (he's always "your dog" when he's in trouble) woke her from her nap ... again. A while back he figured out that...

I have one corroded rear lamp socket, and another that is missing the spade connector (looks like the previous owner or shop ripped it out) ... a thread search shows that at least one person has found these things in the aftermarket, but doesn't say where. I've googled my brains raw trying to...

One of the great things about having a gadget shop is all the gadgets :cool: . I see these threads where folks say "I have this wierd clunk when I turn left", or "name that noise", and the like. I got to thinking that for these problems and things like dw that a pair of eyes under the vehicle...

$350 from Midas to get front brake pads, new rotors, and a fluid flush. Midas claims the rotors are undersized already. It's a neighbor's XJ and she just called to find out if that was a fair price. I don't think so, and told her as much. There are other brake places around town, I said she...

In the Lassen N. Forest, I've come across 2 road that have been blocked by rocks (in one case) and rubble (in the other). Both roads: are within 1/2 mi. of each other start on Diamand Match land and end on Ntl. Forest land branch off of the same forest service access road terminate...

I just tested the vendor forum and I found that I could, if I wanted to, reply to a vendor's post. I think we should not allow replies to vendor posts. I think they could become at best a distraction from the original post and at worst an advocacy or bashing free-for-all. The vendor should be...

I'm trying to get a handle on how well my XJ will handle deep snow off road. How well does your XJ handle deep snow? Does it float well and not high-center? Which end is more likely to dig in? Do you use chains? Fore and aft? Just fore? I posted this in the mod forum because I'll be running on...

Well. I gotta say I am impressed. I took a day run in my bone stock XJ (street tires even) to a place that I've previously only taken lifted pickups. The Jeep made it look easy. :) It was a tight squeeze in spots and there was a lot of brush. It looks like nobody has been there this year...

Gettin' there, for me, is about half of the fun of wheelin'. I only mod my rig because I can't get to the places I want to go without lift and tires. I don't wanna be a hard-core rock crawler just for the sake of conquering the stone. I love to fish remote streams and lakes and I can't get...

I'd like to be able to show off my shiny new member number too, please. Thank you most kindly!

This is a test... this is only a test.

RubiconExpress has been teasing for weeks now on the web site, offering a long arm version of their 5.5" lift. With the plethora of folks here adding all kinds of long arm mods to the "standard" RE lift, I think the long arm version has excellent prospects ... but I can't seem to find detailed...

I was reading another forum here where someone was anxiously waiting for their membership info to arrive ... since I am feeling the same anxiety (even though we both mailed the app moments ago) I started thinking about what is happening to me ... my other hobbies (r/c aircraft, woodworking...

I've seen lots of you folks with custom guards and after researching what's available commercially, I can see why. Some designs are real poor. The ORGS SuperNerfs look ok, but I've almost decided on the Rocky Road Rockrails. I know some of you are just a little biased ;) but which to choose...
