Well, if I keep 'em. I have another problem. I have no parking brake. It wasn't a big deal when I had the 3-spd, but the auto makes me nervous. I don't have enough drive shaft to sacrifice room for a driveline brake. I guess my only other option is some kind of line-lock. Has anyone done this...

Well, I didn't buy much at the swap meet. Thanx to everyone for their input. I still don't know what to do. Since I have lots of room to hack up a rig, it makes sense to buy a complete truck and rob what I need (and have a spare engine, trans, etc). On the other hand, I'll likely have to re-gear...

My jeep: M38A1, 350, th350, 205, 4.10, 33" TSLs. Okay, here's my problem; I have D30 (with a locker) up front that's leaking & has a sloppy pinion bearing. The rear is a FJ 40, welded. I'm not in love with either of them. The FJ40 has no e-brake provision and the D30 is falling apart. I...

Wow, that looks better than the one I'm looking at. Wanna trade for My 1100 Ninja?

going to a smaller tire is like dumping a girl 'cause her boobs are too big. I think I'll stick a low-range in it (if it doesn't have one already) and save my pennies for some 4.10s. I have 4.10s in my M38 and I wish it was double that (of course, I don't drive on the road above 40MPH). I just...

I found a sweet deal on a 77 Waggy with a built 401 and other good stuff. The big concern is the Quadra-Trac which I don't think even has low range (it was optional). The rig would be perfect for my wife to haul the kids & lunch & stuff. She wants to go down the trail but doesn't like deep mud...

They tried to bust me for "having an event, such as racing, without a permit" and also "moving and grading dirt without a permit". I told the investigator that we were just having a BBQ and she dropped the "event" charge right away. The dirt deal was another story. They wanted to come out and...

Uh, I don't think so. It took me months to get the county off my back. Also, I still have mud in the "wash area" that apears to be breeding. I clean it out and it just re-apears from nowhere. Plus, I don't have the Kubota anymore. Times are hard and I had to get rid of it. On the other side of...

We're heading over tomorrow morning. We camp about 3 miles from 410 on the Little Naches river (below Raven's Roost). The jeep is giving me fits. I think she's still mad from the mudbog. I can't get 4-L to lock in both drive shafts. I've never heard of a 205 do that (at least without the obvious...

That's what I figured. Only problem, most rear camper jacks aren't wide enough to clear the trailer, so you have to load the camper behind the jeep. Kinda a pain in the :kissmyass:

Uh, how R U going to pull a gooseneck w/ a TC?

Pain is relative. The weekend before, I dislocated a rib & ate everything in the medicine cabnet, washed it down w/ 5-6 shots of Crown, then 5-6 beers for desert. Then, I thought it would be a good idea to throw (literally) the jeep back together and try the bog 1st. I made it to the beginning...

Great pix. Our office geek was there till about 3:30 and says he has 200+ pix of everyone there. I'm trying to get him to burn me a disc. I wish I would have had more time to spend talking with everyone. This was a lot more work than I thought it would be. I'd like to make this an annual...

You bet, upload them pix. I was running around all day and didn't take a single pic. Something went wrong w/ our vid cam too and we got nothing. If anyone was quick enough to get pix of my heep, I'd love to see 'em. Thanx to everyone for coming out. We really appreciate everyone for jumping in...

I have a wuss-bog for those on less than 33's.
