  1. 6a? you'll have a zillion others to hunt with:eek:
  2. ok, mine is set to Easy Auto and I'll work on letting it focus first. one his pics of the canyon is Photo Contest material for sure. thanks:D
  3. it was a fun time, one that will be remembered for some time. George and the big dog clifford the gang in the park a couple of nice jeeps
  4. you summed it up george. the demeanor of the two federales was troubling to me. like we jumped the fence at the white house. my life's lessons are usually expensive
  5. from what the guy at the local ds shop has told me, 10 was max when in the lathe so imo that kind of run out sounds excessive. they may argue its counter balanced or play in the yolk but i would question that amount of runout
  6. boy, I'm glad we don't have to go through that yet up here:eek:
  7. is there someone that can loan you their driveline for testing purposes?
  8. good to hear she's on the mend. I've been told 7 thousandths run out is considered max with 5 being the target. some shops say 10 is ok because they're only going in a 4x4 so no big deal. the last one i did for the front on the cj was around 10 but it will never see 65 on the highway.
  9. welcome! I know the moe group here in kingman, they do a lot of exploring especially around the north rim of the canyon / ariz strip area. Dan, the main man of the group is the unoffical historian of Mohave County so its always interesting and educational. hope to see you on the trail sometime:D
  10. I went to buy another L20 at Wally World and they only carried the L24 so got one of them. we also us them at work and have real good luck with them. easy to use and down load pics etc. It would be nice to have one that bounces when dropped but so far I have dropped my old one several times and it keeps on working. someday I would like to get the ulta slim model thats about the size of a credit card and 1/2 thick so it fits in your pocket easier. i ende up paying $125 for it with a 4gb card. I especially like the fact u can use AA batteries it it.
  11. Kris, it sucks, I had a similar problem with a truck and it ended up being a bent or sprang yolk that was not detectable with the eye or the driveshaft shop balancer. this stuff can drive you crazy, good luck
  12. we have stayed several times in the rv park because the group we went with always stayed there. the manager "Missy" was a little spun out. I can say we looked at the cabins and would have prefered staying in a tent. one fond memory is a baby crying all night next door, what a night!
  13. awesome info kris, in the case of my 97 is there obvious sensors to keep with you. I plan to carry a spare crank sensor but that's it.
  14. I have a similar set up in my cj. while weldig it seemed to pulsate, I was using 3/32 7018 rod so must be to heavy of rod and I'll try 6013. I carry small pieces of steel for misc repairs. I think you're on to a good idea since the under hood welder is out of reach for a lot of us.
  15. I would like the model with the shower, jon, and ac unit
  16. wow, looks like a awesome trip, great pics and report:D
  17. I'm way Jealous, wish I could of tagged along. to me the Moab area is the pinnacle of jeeping, something for everyone. I hope you guys do it again next year. great pics and reports too.
  18. hey George, did she indicate where her place is in relation to Wikieup?
  19. I'm still odd man out with steering upgrades. I believe beefing up the tie rod and drag link are necessary with big tires, lockers however, Ive seen several pitman arms break and a couple of sector shafts break. bottom line is I have resisted the currie upgrade for example, because in theory the el cheapo oem part would crap out before major damage occurs. I would much rather change out a used $25 dollar tie rod or drag link then a steering box. I'm just an old fuddy duddy. But seriously, I've seen the wishbone type upgrade and the type shown in the pic and both seem to work good. For simplicity sake I believe the type of system shown would be the way to go. depends on your sponsors budget:D
