Nice Zuk... I especially like the 40% of lug nuts that are missing on the front wheel... just kidding....

I spent years trying to get my wife to go with me... She's no dummy (other than marrying me, go on, someone was gonna say it), as soon as I tore it down she says, "well, I guess I'll go now..." Thanks... As soon as I have a running vehicle, I suspect the excuses will return.

Don't let your girlfriend NOT go, because then she will always find a reason not to...

I'm just east of colerain ave off springdale.About three miles from northgate mall.We can meet at Lowes or someplace near. I plan on meeting Tom (Comanchedude) and his group in Ross around 8:00am. From Ross we drive out 126.

Good luck with the girlfriend... I gave up on trying to get my wife involved in wheeling. She hates dirt,mudd,buggs,and jeeps with no doors throwing mudd on her.

thank you! i have "new" hubs with all 5 good studs, but havent taken the time to do it yet haha

and the only reason i dont push her to hard about going is bc she has scoliosis (crooked spine) and hard plastic seats are rough on her. she has knots in her back for weeks :(

I dunno...

It turned over 200k Friday, ran fine Saturday, put an axle seal in it Sunday, then it wouldn't start Monday. Still sitting, haven't even looked at it.

Dumped $300 in brakes into the Ford so I can get to work, now it looks like it needs another wheel bearing.

I'm completely out of time, money, and patience, and need a whole lot of all three for Christmas next week.

We'll see...

Robert

I'll pay you $75 an hour to fix it for me. That's a pretty good shop rate, right?

Should come out to about $6.25...

Yep,Just glad I have a garage,tools,and the abilty to work on my on junk...

I like the sidework too. Gave a guy a 350.00 price to put a rear main seal in his Nissan Xterra yesterday.He just smiled and said when can you do it.

Looks like I'll be ordering my on-board air system soon.

fuel pump died

Well my Comanches 5 straight years of total reliability ended last night while my daughter was using it..The fuel pump died... so If anyone has a good used fuel pump let me know I can not get a pump local cheap enough, and had to order online (more than half the price of local parts store) but it wont be here in time for the wheeling trips.. So looking for a good used pump somebody might have that I can use. one from a 4.0 XJ 87-91 will also work
