I have 2 XJ's one is a stalled LS swap/build the other is my mall crawler, maybe getting a 3rd for the kid to beat around the property through the trees. Been working on my Commando lately.

One of the dozen autos I moved, pretty sure that's a 4L60E, early model. I have one the later models too with the removable bell.

Moving is a pain. We bought a new place 2yrs ago and now finally I am moving. 2hrs away and will be a few trips with the trailer to get it all moved. Load it with the gantry here and unload it with the cherry picker at the new place. The new shop is 36x48, my current one is 24x48 so I will be...

I have always enjoyed Naches, there are a variety of trails that fit most any vehicle. So the stockish guys can have as much fun as the tons guys. Not sure of any other area that can provide this????

I know I started this a couple years ago but have been so busy never followed through except for a M&G in Clarkston and then scheduled another in Spokane with minimal results. So update is I am moving to Spokane this summer and want to get the Eastern & NE corner NAXJA crew to have a few more...

Bought the knobs, drilled a hole and installed these on my two hydraulic presses jacks. I feel good about my day now. :beer:

So I bit the bullet and bought a HF 1T Gantry, not a big HF fan but it has features I liked and thought I would give it a go. Issue is stock sucks and it too narrow to straddle my flat bed trailer. I did some research and actually found a gantry with a similar design to how I widened mine. 3/8"...

Oh, yeah, new used tires and wheels. A light bar and I'm ready to wheel.....or get to work every day.

Magnetic coozie, problem solved. Thanks.

Never having a place to keep the fab tools organized when working on a project. I think I've got it down now. Used a base from a HF rolling stool.

With no power to the solenoids you should get 1,3,4 when moving the floor shifter. If it is always in 3rd when in the drive position then it sounds like that solenoid circuit is allowing pressure to hold it in 3rd. 3rd gear is the #2/B solenoid ON by itself and the other shift solenoid not working.

First this, then a Jeep. Granddaughter getting it. V1

It is an entire new front disc brake diff assembly. CJ7 maybe?? Just came with the pile of parts. It should easily fit 15" rims since it's not a newer disc setup. There is someone who makes a kit I have seen guys install. No idea where they are getting it from.

Came with a spare motor in pieces, 2 sets of heads, it runs good. Need to get the battery secure and a brake booster for when I get the "new" front diff in. D44 rear, D30 front. Previous owner did a spring over in the rear, so I think I'll do the same on the front and then flip the tie rod to...

Just bought this last weekend. 304, TH400, previous owner did the lunch box front and rear and 4.56 gears for it as well as a disc brake front I need to put in with the new gears. Body is rough, but then I don't have to worry about scratching the paint. It runs but I need to do a couple minor...
