i love the top, Pigi.

i understand (as i'm sure everyone else does) what you mean by the "slop" in the transmission. i don't fault you at all for upgrading

i'm in the process of creating templates for this.....gonna add in a 1/4" flange along the join of the cones for either a rivet-together or lap weld...

hopefully, that aint gonna happen. cause hopefully we'll have LJ20V #2, by then

I was down at the hardware store last weekend, as our shower faucet is leaking, and noticed something that might work as a drop in replacement for the shifter seat. It was only $3.49, so I bought one, took it home, and pulled a shifter off that had a seat. The original seat is a bit larger in diame...

i didn't know they made those that SMALL

One word of warning for those doing this mod but not up grading your wheel brakes: You had better keep a close eye on your brake adjustments or you are in for a very rude surprise. If your brake shoes get too far out of adjustment, that SJ master cylinder has enough volume to push the wheel cylinde...

i managed to avoid all the mud on a night ride down at Superlift park last night

and the vaselene so that it wont hurt so much to get a non-resident fishing license.

well, IF we get to go and IF i got my crawler finished i'll bring it along to try everything out there i can (and let y'all laugh at me being the only guy out there on 38s). otherwise, i'll just hafta settle for a game on one-upin' Jimny

dad and i are a big maybe. that time of year makes it a pain to get away from here -- according to dad. but then again, he says that about ANY time of the year.

that place looks really sweet, though...

the rockcrawlin looks fun, too :)

well, git it in gear. i aint got all day

point #3......uhh, steve, they don't teach em to count in Kansas schools...

yeah, Smuz. i know that. just lettin ya know that next time you point it south, Hot Springs aint that much farther.

stevec wrote:That depends on how well built your tow rig is.

it's stock. i drive stupid. it's just got open diffs, making it hard to get stupid and broke. i'm usually good if i can stay outta the mud but i'll crawl with locked Jeeps any day

stevec wrote:"optional" obstacles.

yay! fun for crazy fools like me and Jimny! are these the kind of obsticles where it'd be a good idea for me to bring spare parts (since i'll be wheeling in the tow rig for the LJ)?

Jimny better show up in Fayetteville with that Sammy trans on saturday.....

3 more hours -- maybe even less -- and y'all can come wheel with me in Hot Springs i'll be down there this saturday and next sunday

we could probly make the "Snowbird" if it was in early January. definately not if it was toward the end of december with the annual inventory count and all the other end of year crap associted with owning a business

sounds good. i figure we can make at least one of em

except that i wont have any vacation time available before New Years...

everyone hit the newsstand for the October issue of 4-Wheel & Off-Road mag (even if you get it in the mail). they got a mini-booklet that's 365 trails or some such. lists places to wheel in ALL of the lower 48. the Black Hills of SD looks promising...
