Important

I liked the mechanical Novak linkage, but I could have done a better job installing it. In that Jeep I didn't really care about aesthetics :D
 
I have been fighting with my electric company about my meter being in the backyard (was there when I bought the place), so they have to go through a fence.

Last fall the estimated for 4 months and then hit me with a $800 bill. I was furious, ended up paying like $400. Now this year I haven't paid for three months because the over estimated.

They won't move the dang thing though.


This is the reason when i put my fence in, i didn't enclose the meter
 
My meter is right inside the fence, the fence is only about 4' and the gate can easily open. This winter, we still got estimated bills. I still don't think we used the electricity we said we did, but possible since the emergency heat was on over the heat pump.

they will not open a fence, period.
 
Water, electric, gas all on on RFID. No more meter readers, except some guy in a truck driving around.

They didn't think that my gas was being used as much as it should've been two winters ago, they replaced my meter and then sent me an estimated bill for what they thought it used while it wasn't working.

That didn't go over well.

Well I'm starting to think I may be doing a tranny swap in the zj here soon. It's starting to slip going into 2nd. It's just starting to get a little worse now. What tranny would it be in a 98zj with the v8? I'm thinking it's the 44rh or something like that but could be wrong.

Best pic I could find of my novak shifter in the baby jeep.



I don't recall the shift pattern being backwards either.

My "training" for this thing consisted of "here's the controls, this is how it works, go move those pallets of seed off of that new and expensive car trailer"

I want to own a fork lift...

I have run them a few times over the years.

The hardest are the ones that use the same pedal with different sides of the pedal to go both forward and reverse....

My favorite was the stand up one with a joystick...we called it "star wars"

I drive a Toyota fork lift daily. I know I have had it on 2 wheels plenty of times. Trying to see how far I can ride it out.

Missed the AW4 used in certain rare early 93 4.0 ZJs. Those guys are lucky, they have a good transmission.
