Hi All, So I bought an '87 Chevy G20 conversion van for mountain bike trips and such and found that reverse gear has some issues. I've read up on a ton of forums and get all sorts of directions to go, figured I'd try and narrow it down here. Reverse appears to be slipping. On flat land I can...

Ok, so I have a 1990 XJ I picked up to drive while I recover from leg surgery (my DD is a manual, this XJ is an auto) and need to replace some AC components. It was in a front end wreck and the condenser was damaged and leaked out all the refrigerant. I have a condenser that's been sitting in my...

So long story short, I broke some more bones and had surgery last week on my shoulder. I also bought a Subaru Impreza a few weeks ago, and I want to try and get some service work done on my new (to me) car before the weather gets too harsh. School is only getting more intense, and the clock is...

Ok, so I've done a little looking and can't find anyone who has had this same issue. '88 XJ Limited with 190k, AW4/242 A few months ago I started getting an intermittent clunk/bang when accelerating hard. Mostly from a stop, but it also happened during hard accelerations from 30-40mph. It...

Long story short, I may need to sell my Jeep due to school/life expenses. I really don't want to as I love my rig...but lets face it, how many of you have seen me out on the trails recently? The cost of wheeling + driving it is slowly out-weighing other things I have going on. That said I'm...

So I managed to take a spill this week on the motorcycle and break my ankle. On my way to school Monday I managed to hit a tar 'snake' near the apex of a corner on my Honda CBR600 F3 at an estimate 30ish mph and out went the front wheel. I can recall looking up at the sky and seeing my bike...

So I mistakenly pulled the knock sensor on my '88 XJ when I was trying to pull the temperature sensor (local shop said it was throwing a code for being bad) and now I want to make sure I re-install it correctly. To get to the clips that hold the plug to the sensor I had to spin the sensor...

So I broke out my rear driver window on my '88 2 door with rear vent windows at Walker last weekend. And in prep for the PNWJeep M&G I'm looking to replace it with plexiglass. To do that, I need to trace someones window. Does anyone local have a spare window lying around, or willing to pull...

I can't drive my Jeep to NWFest this year - just don't have the time to prepare properly. However I'm thinking about riding my motorcycle down early Saturday and coming home Sunday afternoon, and would like to ride shot-gun with someone on the trails if I do so. So anyone have an open seat? I'd...

Sometime from tonight someone stole sometime between 12pm last night and 5am this morning at my house in Everett, WA. It's extremely distinct. Licence plate BK03763 -35" tires -Grey 2 door -LED tail lights -5.5" lift A window was broken out to get into it and take it. PLEASE call the police...

I was pondering my future plans for tube flares, and realized my fenders are already fairly beat up so fitting the top piece to the flares will be tricky...then it hit me, why not remove the fender all together and just build a flare/fender from tube? So with that thought, I'm trying to hunt...

Well last night I was on the freeway when a noise started, it sounded like rubbing/thunking on something that moves as it's frequency varied with speed. I carefully drove it home after an external inspection of everything it could have been that's easy to get to with no avail. Took the rear diff...

Clean up your PMs. Tube fender flares are the theme of the month, you dig? :helpme:

Post pics of your weather related driving incidents/adventures! This was the start of my day, after being at school for an hour I walked out to find this. On my way to work I got to help with a jacked up semi on 164th just before 99 in Lynnwood. The cops weren't doing anything, so I...

I'm doing my axle seals right now...as a broken shaft killed my 1.5 year old ones. I'm at the point where I have everything off and am trying to pull the differential (E-locker)...I've heard it's as simple as putting a pry bar under it and putting some force on it. However I can't get the...

So I have my case apart to replace the oil pick-up tube and filter that were lost and destroyed in my case (along with removing the pieces) and I managed to snap the replacement oil filter I had trying to fit it on the rubber hose. I'm considering just saying screw it, and putting it all back...

So I pulled the drain plug today to see if my worries were true...and to see if I was in fact running on a dry 242. Turns out I had about a quart in there. Which is good considering it has been showing signs of a severe leak in the last few months. All was good till I noticed some chunks of...

My Dana 30 lower control arm mounts are getting beat up and need to be replaced. So what has everyone done on here? Do people replace them with something else out there...and if so what? Or is everyone just reinforcing them? The bolt hole is pretty wallowed out, and some of the bracket is...

Went out there with a buddy I met on PNWJeep for the maiden voyage on his 2-years in the making "wrangler." We basically went straight to the rocks...I played around a little bit at the funny rocks but shortly following that my friend seized his new 5.3 Vortec. Needless to say the fun at the...

If anyone is bored this weekend...I'm heading out to Naches with some guy in a wrangler and another in a CJ. My rig is probably the least capable, so that gives you an idea of who you'd be with. The plan is to head up tonight (I'm leaving around 9pm from Everett) and camp...I assume...in the...
