Are you running the OEM TH400? How's freeway driving with the 4:10s?

Are you still planning on doing the exocage?

You ever notice Jeeps are the only thing that has ever existed that use every single size fastener in existence in SAE and metric on one vehicle?

Back when I was pro, the last two tools I didn't have were the Lisle Triton broken spark plug extractor set and an automatic bearing packer. I kinda like hand packing tapered rollers, honestly.

That's an impressive build you've done. I'm thinking the most painless thing you could do about the rear locker is to just get another axle. There's a 14 bolt with disks locally on Craigslist for $300 here. They're not hard to find.

Phillips #2s will destroy the brass screws in Mikuni carburetors and leave you struggling with needle nose vice grips. Best practice is to tap the JIS against them with a hammer a few times before applying a ton of pressure while turning the screwdriver with a wrench. Once that butter-grade...

I once found a shop catalogue from the 1930s. Fractions of a dollar were pretty meaningful in the scope of pricing back then. It'd be pretty nice to get a set of leaf springs for a buck thirty.

You got 37s on a 1009 with nothing but zero rates? I want to run 24 bolts on one tons, but I wrote it off because I don’t want to do a big lift.

How much lift are you running on 40s? Did you have to do some cutting?

Get under there with a micrometer and get the diameter in millimeters. I bet you can order a fork gaiter for a motorcycle that'll be pretty close to the correct diameter. Just keep an eye on it, 'cause they don't make 'em like they used to.

Steering wheel chain? I didn't know that was a thing they issued. I had to make my own.

Cheap and easy? Try and feed your injection pump from a fuel can on the roof. If that doesn't help, then your IP may be shot. If it does help, then any possible solutions are going to be a lot cheaper.

Found while dismantling the back of my 09 for corrosion inspection.

Are the doors pretty heavy? Considering doing the pins in my driver door after seeing how easily the passenger door closes.

Very Available Vacuum Pump Fix: Cardone 641023 (or 64-1023). I used a 5% discount code at Rockauto and forfeited my core charge for a total cost just under $100 shipped (October 2023). The pod is a direct swap. When you remove the pod, it will dump about a fluid ounce of oil, so be ready for...

Unless you're 3D printing battery risers for free, I'd use wood blocks.

@gonecheenin - What do you want for that damper? Figure mine's past due.

When I unplugged the switch and bypassed the throttle control on the IP, it started shifting properly. Anybody who knows what that means is probably cringing right now, but it matched my budget, so that's how I drove it for a month. It started shifting at redline again today, so my intuition is...

Replaced all the topside rubber when I did the IP. Rockauto didn't offer B&M, so I searched up the part number on eBay, but they sent me a Rostra single red stripe. By this point in time, we've got layers upon layers of superseded part numbers. Ordering parts feels like gambling. One thing I've...

I had a '69 C10 once upon a time that I didn't have the time or tools to fix the leak between the pump and the reservoir, so I used a local transmission rebuilder's throwaway ATF in the system for a good year. It was fine. I don't think it's as picky as all that. "Power steering fluid" is a lot...
