Important

i didnt like my last set of coopers...but have heard good things about the stt's...anyone have an opinion on them?

I like my set of 33x12.5x15 never had a problem with them. They go just about every where I want them too, handle good in the snow for a M/T. I will probably stick with them when I bump up to 35 in the future.
 
2wd or 4wd?? The 4wds get awful, awful fuel mileage all the time. We had a couple at work that averaged 10-12 from the time we got them.

2wd.

Do an XJ/XJ bastard pack, you should get 2.5 to 3" lift I am going to do that and a MJ shackle in the wifes XJ.



^^^^^ This, or get something that works well, aero kroil.

What involves on that leaf pack? I may end up getting some kroil at some point.
 
What would cause my '98 4.0 to idle at 2000rpms? It was fine when I drove home from work last night, then today it didn't start immediately and idled high the whole way to work. I am thinking water got somewhere since its been storming kike crazy but don't know where to start looking. I can't play on my phone at work til later so any ideas on where to look?

I unplugged the sensors and added some dielectric grease. It idled high for a day and today magically returned to normal, so I decided to run some errands. When I went to leave the last place it wouldn't start. I would turn the key and my speakers made a weird screechy sound and that was all I got. I called a buddy and got him to start digging his trailer out to come get me. About 10 min later I tried it again and it started just fine.. I pulled my inner fenders when I cut the front up and I am guessing something got wet that shouldn't have..

I also took the crappy air bags out of the rear and I have a set of Monroe load leveling shocks on order. The rear will probably go up another inch and I'll probably throw a set of 3/4" spacers on the front
 
had an interesting situation happen today...i have a fairly close knit extended family, so when someone seems to be ignoring you, you tend to notice. on a hunting trip in 2008 to canada before the election, we were having a discussion amongst cousins/uncles about gun control. clearly, my perspective on guns is a little different than most being a hunter weirdo hippie rocker redneck and we disagreed, which is totally fine and happens all the time in my family. i generally expect that most of my family won't understand why i think the way i do, so i don't open my mouth much in political arguments often. apparently, one of my cousins decided to hold the argument i was making against me and decided that i was a crazy liberal (even though i've never been affiliated with a political party, nor will i ever choose to be)...and ever since then he hasn't said much to me. fast forward to today when i decided against my better judgement to run my mouth on a hunting forum where people were arguing about politics to throw in my usual "both parties suck" argument and he decided to let me know why he hasn't been speaking to me for 5 years on a public forum...nice. its always crazy to me how people will judge you (even your family members) based on one conversation on one item of disagreement. i disagree with people all the time, but i never stop respecting them nor do i like them any less...i guess i should get used to it though. i don't think a lot of my extended family really understands my career path or my political beliefs and how they were formed. i think they just assume that i'm a homeless vagabond who hasn't had a job since moving out of iowa in 2006 and somehow i'm a drain on the system even though i've busted my ass for the last 7 year. even when i was only doing what i could to scrape by, i've never once been a drain on the welfare or healthcare system...even though i certainly was low enough on the income side once or twice. its all good though...i still like me :)

wheeled at Dirty Turtle today to test out the cooling system. It is not fixed, ran on the edge of overheating all day and lost 40+ oz of coolant. Now I'm thinking it is either a leaking head gasket or bad radiator. gotta figure it out and get it fixed before the Crawl.
