    97 ZJ blinkers

    I would check the sockets on your bulbs. I know it sounds "out there", but I had a comanche that did the same thing.... whenever you turned the blinker switch on, the lights on the dash would light up solid, or not come on at all, depending on what type of flasher relay was installed. After...

    Parking brake Toy/60 question

    Just out of curiosity, what has been your mixed results on the t-case ebrake? I'm pondering WTF to do on my rig... YJ, 14 bolt with discs, Atlas II, etc... I guess my idea at this point for something reliable, safe and hassle free would be the AA t-case brake setup for the Atlas, even though...

    My Shop, My Shop, My Shop!

    Good idea. Been thinking about doing the same myself. Anything special you had to do, or just T into the sewer piping somewhere and put a cap on it?

    YJ vacuum line ???

    wire up a toggle switch to the dash light and turn it on whenever you shift the t-case into 4wd. :redneck:

    YJ vacuum line ???

    Yes, but isn't the one pictured the switch for the dash light? Maybe I'm totally off, it's been a long time since my YJ had any of that stuff, lol.

    YJ vacuum line ???

    I forget how the t-case indicator works, but on a YJ it would've been tied in with the vac disconnect on the front axle... and of course on your rig, that's long gone.

    YJ vacuum line ???

    Windshield washer nozzles. It's either the one that runs to the back that would have hooked to a wiper on a hard top rear window, or the one that hooks to your nozzles that spray the windshield... I can't remember for sure, but I know that's what it is cause mine is cut right at the firewall...

    New trail construction has started

    I know I should probably keep my mouth shut without having at least tried what's been built, and this topic has of course been thrashed to death... but... I think all the pictures I've seen of 'new' Reiter tell me what I need to know. If they (DNR or whoever is building these trails) can drive...

    Frame mount or bed mount?

    After driving rigs with campers tied down with both styles, I have to say... I find the straddle/saddle bed mount style downright dangerous compared to frame tiedowns. With saddle style bed mounts, the camper and bed sways around a LOT. Frame tie-downs eliminate most if not ALL of the sway and...

    TJ rear axle options

    What he said. Plus if you are only running at 35, you won't be breaking a lot of 8.8 shafts on a trail rig/DD. The slightly narrower width will only be an issue if you plan on running large tires and stock offset wheels. You can buy 1.25" spacers from Spidertrax or plenty of other places if...

    Pulling tranny ISHU's

    Had that happen once on the exact same bolt. idiots using the wrong socket and stripping it out seems a common occurence. Hammer on a good quality socket that's slightly too small. I can't remember what I used. Use your extensions to line it up and pound the sucker on, then break it loose.

    That has got to be the most creative use of a leaf blower ever. I like it! :awesomework:

    Doing E-fuel need some advice and tips

    I have a good 6.0 super duty intercooler you can have for 100 bucks. Was gonna put it on my OBS, then I sold the truck. I've been told the 6.0 intercooler is a simple fit on the OBS trucks, never got that far. Of course you'll still need the e99 spider and the piping (or custom make it).

    Dana 30 gear setup

    A non-disconnect D30 is spinning all the time even if you're not in 4wd. Do it right, don't shortcut it just cause it's a front axle. And yeah, second on not needing a case spreader. Trust me, the old carrier will probably fall right out once you yank the caps.

    Ford guys... header question, 89 5.0/302

    They certainly are small. I ditched all the smog pump **** and plugged the back of the heads, am kinda wishing I had just pulled the heads and done a refresh and some cleanup on the exhaust ports and removed the thermactor bumps like you said... I was that far into it basically with the intake...
