Hi all, I have the same model of chop saw, have been using it for 3 or 4 years now. I agree with Torrance's comments about this powertool. Regards, Alan

Hi all, PaulSac, have you made any progress on the front axle diagnosis? It sure sounds like a CV issue to me. Regards, Alan

Hi all, Cool Willys pu Mark! For a five speed manual tranny that can live behind a mild small block, and has a passenger's side drop t-case, consider the Toyota W56 from the late 1980s 4wd mini-trucks. Yeah, it is not "American iron" but it works, and is not that expensive to source. Also, a...

Hi all, Have you guys seen this? http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-original-30-spline-toyota-axle-300m-4340.851927/ "C'ya Mister." :D -Alan

Hi all, Yep, that is the current (new) version of the unit I have been using for a few years. -Alan

Hi all, Crash, I have been using a Battery Tender Jr. on my FJ40 for several years now. It has worked great at keeping the battery topped-off; the rig will start right up after sitting for a few weeks (even during cold weather.) -Alan

Hi all, I just use the regular 20 lb. CO2 tanks for OBA. Easy & quick to exchange at the welding supply shop, and it fills lots of tires between exchanges. -Alan

Hi all, Good for you jeepermc! I really like the look of your CJ6 without a cage or roll bar, but it is absolutely not safe to trail run without some sort of roll-over protection! Yes, it costs a bit of money, but what price do you put on your life? Enjoy your rig! -Alan

Hi all, This is the website where I bought the light-duty 230 volt MIG welder I have: http://www.hobartweldshop.com/servlet/the-Refurbished-Hobart-Welders/Categories Really good price - about $150 less than the lowest retail price I could find for the same MIG welder new. Regards, Alan

Glad to hear you got this sorted out! :awesomework: -Alan

Hi all, Which 4.3L V-6 do you have in the rig so far? A Vortec 4.3L produces a lot more power than the TBI version. No changes in motor mounts, cooling system, transmission, etc. Regards, Alan

Hi all, Novak Enterprises is all-jeep, check it out: http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/transfer_case_parts/dana_20_parts.htm Good luck on the t-case rebuild! Regards, Alan

Hi all, I have a buddy that runs 37 inch IROK radials on a FJ40 SOA. They work good in the snow (floatation) and mud, but he has taken out a sidewall (on the BusyWild, BTW.) Two other buddies run bias-ply IROKs without side wall problems. Regards, Alan

Hi all, No apologies necessary, thanks for sharing your build with us! :beer: Regards, Alan

Hi all, Any of you guys seen this yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ul4CnoJbyGg -Alan

Hi all, I bought a new IR 231 1/2 inch impact a couple of years ago. Great air tool! Performs much better than the cheap (air) impact guns I've used before. Best part, you should be able to find a newly made IR Model 231 for around US $125.00 on-line. Regards, Alan

Hi all, I don't have any experience with spools, but think if this guy wants to really 'wheel a YJ Wrangler he needs to ditch the 4 cylinder for a jeep with the 4.0L I-6. Or, plan on an engine swap sooner vs. later! :rolleyes: Regards, Alan

Hi all, Not an expert by any standard, but two things come to mind: * cold weather is hard on lead-acid car batteries; * how long since the rig had a full tune-up (plugs, wires, rotor, cap, etc.)? Good luck! Alan

Hi all, I have a buddy that runs the 37 X 12.5R15 radial IROKs on his V-8 powered FJ40 and they perform very well, including in/on snow. Like all radial tires, they have thinnish side walls, but this is why they bulge out so nicely while aired-down. Regards, Alan

Hi all, Man, that all looks familiar! :haha: I was out in the garage this afternoon preparing my FJ40 for a clutch swap after the trip to the BusyWild 2 weeks ago! :redneck: Regards, Alan
