What did you do to or with your CJ today?

[justinkase]

I fixed it just to break it again. I took it out to test it out after replacing both u-joints and straps. I broke my driver side hub trying to get up a rock.
I'm beginning to think this thing does not like me

let me guess, the two in the front of the tub??
I just got mine finished this weekend I used the Day star 1" lift mounts. I reinforced with 14 ga. Stainless steel, I think it will take longer to work harden and crack.

I read this and I was trying to remember when I posted it. I was expecting a senior moment.

I looked at it.

Lol. Same here! It can't idle poorly, if I don't start it.

 

[IOPort51]

This is kind of a Zen thing, right?

Haha, something like that! I use the same philosophy with my marriage. Don't give an answer to the question, "does this dress make me look fat?" and I don't have to hear how my response was wrong, no matter what I said! Hell, half the time I just turn and walk away. Lol.

I guess it was a mistake to tell her that the dress had nothing to do with her looking fat?

I run cherry bombs glass packs on the 70, now that thing is really loud, I do not even use a cross over pipe just headers and the packs then turn them out, Wakes you up when I rev it.

First off that 20w50 oil is for racing. It's for very hot engines. I wouldn't use that on a street vehicle. If your having trouble with your oil pressure you might need a new oil pump.
As for wheel spacers they are good and bad. If you put on bigger tires you may get some rubbing. Wheel spaces will help prevent your tires from rubbing. They also give your jeep a wider, more stable stance. The problem with wheel spacers is that they add more stress to the front ball joints because the wheels are out farther than the manufacturer intended.
